![]() ![]() Of course, Ash followed the respectful workplace training and shut down the inappropriate conversation. Later, Ash reveals to Nat that Jonathan asked him if she had a partner. ![]() Nat and Jonathan are picked to roleplay through several “inappropriate” scenarios: buying flowers, buying the other a drink at a bar, and going out to a restaurant. HR is yet again getting in the way of true love. As part of the exercise, Jonathan asks Nat about getting a drink. Jim from inside the mysterious PM’s officeĪt the respect in the workplace training, they’re still roleplaying scenarios. A mystery to be solved another day, perhaps. The mysterious PM (who we’ve yet to see onscreen in Utopia) is juuuuust off to the side of Jim. Every problem Jim points to has already been addressed - the legislation has been drafted, and the structure has been worked out. Tony’s yet again asking Jim about the NBA independent model on a video call. Nat does get to flirt with Jonathan later by telling him her printer login and password. Rhonda’s yelling about the AFR article, getting so loud that Beverley has to close the door for the respect in the workplace training next door.īeverley also reveals to her captive audience that you cannot ask a colleague about their personal life, much to Nat’s annoyance as she tries to get to know Jonathan better. “Where are you from?” is chosen as the example, with Ash asked as he has “lived experience”. What does not make the cut, however, is Tony making his own olive oil, which is true.īeverley is running through questions that might offend anyone in workplace-respect training. Rhonda quickly paints the picture of Tony - drawn to the ocean (he owns a surfboard) and drawn to the desert (he went to Dubai on a fact-finding mission). She’s got good news (nothing about the NBA’s independence): Rhonda’s convinced the AFR to put Tony on the Power List. Recovering from the election weekend, Rhonda pops in. The key seems to be to say “respectfully” a lot. Tony manages to sidle out of the workplace training with Beverley. However, Jonathan says he would like to, to spend more time with her. Nat also lets him know he does not have to sit in on the Beverley training. Nat, meantime, while giving Jonathan her old laptop featuring a John Legend wallpaper, takes it off him to get the machine wiped, and their hands touch. Jim finally returns Tony’s repeated calls, with Jim confused that Tony actually wants them to act on an election promise. ![]() Head of HR Beverley returns this episode (cue ominous drums), this time to do one hour of respect in the workplace training each day. It might have performed better had people not already had enough of the pandemic by this point.Jonathan gets it right with the Reserve Bank’s independence, and Utopia fulfils its joke at the expense of the RBA. The bad timing also likely linked to the so-so reviews. Did we really need it at that time? Of course, Prime Video wouldn’t have wanted to hold it off too long and have it just sitting around, but the timing could have been better. The series was released during the pandemic year. This was a series that involved a deadly flu, a vaccine that had ulterior motives, and a lot of questions about people with money doing shady things. Why didn’t the show get the views? It was likely bad timing. There were a lot of visual effects needed, and the cost had to be factored in. There are always drops into the next season, but would it be so bad that it wouldn’t justify the cost?Īnd Utopia wasn’t a cheap series to produce. Prime Video, like other streaming networks and broadcast networks, needs to weigh up the risk of people not tuning in for a new season. ![]() In most cases, it’s simply due to not enough people tuning in for the series. Prime Video never stated exactly why the series was being canceled. What was the reasoning behind the cancellation? Low views likely contributed to Utopia being canceled It didn’t take too long for Prime Video to decide that it wasn’t going to be renewed for a second season. Based on the British series of the same name, it arrived on Prime Video at the end of September 2020. There are a few TV shows that get canceled early, leaving us with a lot of questions. Why did Prime Video choose to cancel the series? As much as many of us would have loved to see it, Utopia Season 2 is not happening. ![]()
