How is your taste the benchmark!? It's okay if something is of no interest to you, however, this in and of itself does not make something unworthy. Let me start of by saying I never understand people who complain about a show because it doesn't appeal to them. Hope you don't listen to the mean comments and reviews and actually give the show a try. If you managed to read all of that, thanks for listening to my little TedTalk.
#Dissonant utopia falls full
Personally, I'd rate it a 6.5-7/10 but since the majority of the people who rated it badly haven't even seen the full show, I'm rating it 10/10 to give it an even chance. Yes, it's a bit predictable, uses typical tropes and is probably targeted towards 13-16 year olds but it still pretty good. I know it might seem like a shallow concept but if you actually watch it, you'll see it has potential. It shows how if we don't learn history, we are doomed to repeat it and that knowledge is power. It pays tribute to music and dance from different cultures.

The best way I could describe it like 'The 3%' meets 'Hunger Games' meets 'The Giver' with a sprinkle of 'Divergent' but a bit more matured and less reliant on the coolness of technology. It's a show about a group of teens who realize their society isn't what it seems to be and end up leading a societal revolution through music, dance and art. I just finished the 1st season and it left me wanting more! I'm not guaranteeing that you'll love it but you can't based your opinion on reviews of people who haven't even watched the whole thing and have only seen the LESS THAN 2 MINUTES LONG trailer or the bad first episode.

I thought it was gonna be a knock off version Hunger Games, Dance Dance Revolution style but give it at least 3 episodes and you'll see the potential. Yes, it had a terrible trailer and a bad first episode but those things don't truly represent the quality of the show! Don't get me wrong, I thought it was complete crap in the beginning too. This show is getting way too much hate for something so new. I *really* hope it gets picked up for a second season!!! Overall, it's a show that can really suck you in within an episode or two-I binged the whole thing in three nights.
#Dissonant utopia falls how to
If you're going to oppress a people, why on earth would you encourage them to know how to kill people and to be capable of doing so? Meanwhile, art performance can certainly be used to distract, shift focus, control a narrative without making your populace combat-ready. If you continue the show, you'll see that it absolutely makes sense to elevate dance/song/music to such heights-I mean, it always struck me a bit odd that in Hunger Games, it was essential to be combat trained and ready to participate/succeed in the games. To address some of the complaints I've seen here: The singers are pretty good, the actor who plays Bodhi is a great performer, and the dancers are incredible. The 1984-esque Authority environment in New Babyl sets a dark tone that, in some ways, is distressingly similar to our current world, all in the guise of a Utopian society.

I'm really eager for Season 2! It took a little bit for the show to find it's footing, but it's very enjoyable.
