Mayor of Minneapolis PANICS After 155-Year-Old Company CHOOSES Texas Over Minnesota!A decision made behind closed doors is now sending shockwaves through City Hall and across the entire state. As a 155-year-old American company announces it is abandoning Minnesota for Texas, insiders say Minneapolis officials were caught completely off guard, scrambling to explain how they lost one of their oldest economic pillars overnight. Secret negotiations, rising taxes, and mounting regulations are now being blamed for driving the historic firm away. Was this corporate exit a warning sign of something much bigger — and how many more companies are already preparing to leave?

After reading 1984 I said I think George Orwell, and not Doc Brown's dog Einstein, was the first time traveler and he came to 2020 and got his ideas for the book.

Brian Cates has talked about sealed indictments for years now. Will it ever happen? Doesn’t appear like it.
Twin Peaks was the restaurant in Waco, Texas, that had the biker shootout in 2015 that killed 9 people.

View the serie Utopia.. From the UK.. Its kind of twisted... 2013 version!!
This is where Utopia gets its "prophetic" rep. The core plot revolves around a shadowy organization (The Network) engineering a fake pandemic to push a vaccine that secretly sterilizes most of humanity, all to combat overpopulation. It's framed as a "global conspiracy" with "reality-fracturing consequences" . Post-COVID, fans call it "eerily prophetic" or "unsettlingly parallel" to real-world events, like vaccine mandates and conspiracy.
Utopia doesn't shy away from extreme violence, and yes, there's a notorious, graphic school shooting scene in Season 1, Episode 3, where assassins from The Network massacre kids and staff in a primary school to cover their tracks and blame it on the innocent kid.
It's described as "casual violence" that's "obscene" to make you recoil, not cheer, it critiques senseless violence and The Network's ruthlessness, showing how such acts lead to defections within the group (e.g., assassin Arby questions his loyalty after). It's not seen as "promoting" school shootings but using shock to highlight loss of innocence in a conspiracy-driven world.
In October 2014, the series' official Twitter feed stated there would not be a third series. HBO had originally planned to make an American version of the show in 2014, but did not produce it due to budget disputes. Amazon then acquired the rights to the series as of April 2018, and an American version was released on 25 September 2020. Initially nearly inaccessible to the U.S. market, both of the original series were released on Amazon Prime on 1 November 2020.
Utopia is often lamented as criminally underrated and prematurely ended. Fans rave about its visual style, calling every scene "as thought out as a painting" and praising the cinematography as "unbelievably good" with "nothing like it." It's described as "dark, creepy, disturbing, entertaining," with a "very contemporary feel" that's "stark, urban," and prophetic—especially viewing it post-2020 pandemic, where its plot hits uncomfortably close to home. Many hail it as "one of the decade's most electrifying and criminally underseen thrillers," "the best British series of all time," or "one of the finest British series ever made—visually striking and eerily prophetic." The acting (especially Neil Maskell as the chilling assassin Arby) and unpredictable twists get high marks, with a Rotten Tomatoes critic score of 100% for Season 1.
On the flip side, some find it "extremely dark, violent" with "weird yet amazing" elements that might unsettle viewers, and there's outrage over the cancellation after Season 2 due to low viewership (around 1 million per episode, not enough for Channel 4). Comparisons to the 2020 US Amazon remake are harsh: People say the original is "infinitely better," with the remake called "rubbish," "a mess," "confusing and predictable," and poorly timed amid real-world COVID conspiracies. Overall, it's seen as a "brilliant" but overlooked gem that's "fascinating and FUN" despite the gore, with calls for revival. If you're into conspiracy thrillers like Mr. Robot or Black Mirror, it's frequently recommended as a must-watch.

Overall, no mainstream consensus that it "promotes" school shootings—more that it depicts them brutally to provoke outrage and discussion, fitting the show's dark satire. If anything, it's blamed for being too raw, leading to its low viewership and cancellation.This is where Utopia gets its "prophetic" rep.
