There are other characters too like Jessica Hyde and Grant, who are more annoying than the nerds. Now I won't say that this was a stupid idea, but who behaves like that in real life? It's like a couple of Simpson fans waiting for the next episode to come so that they can understand what happens in the future. Rather that's all to them - they are nerds who just like a graphic novel and think it has something to do with real life, and so they are waiting for the next issue of Utopia to learn what will happen next. The way the show began it seemed as though they will all be given more character depth as the story progresses, but no, no such thing happens.

I'm not sure if that's really good timing or the worst timing ever. Despite being in the works for years, this series happened to arrive during the pandemic. It says that the show is a work of fiction and 'not based on actual, related or current events". You'll notice there is a disclaimer at the beginning of each episode.
