The life of a group of smart teenagers, who live in a remote colony, where they find an old and hidden historical archive, has been changed completely, as they begin to question the truth behind everything in the world, while searching for answers to other mysteries, using the power of music in changing the world.
What it lacks in original takes on a post-apocalyptic world, it makes up for in characters with heart and a ride you enjoy, even when the you can see the twists and turns coming.
Utopia Falls does deliver some intriguing commentary and story threads, but they frequently get lost in melodramatic romantic tension, moments that are supposed to be profound but come across as corny, and a dance competition that is bleh at best.
What's perhaps most impressive about Utopia Falls is the way it earnestly engages with social issues while still remaining true to its soapy core as a teen drama.
Through episodes that have large gaps of intrigue, the revolution within Utopia Falls relies too heavily on sci-fi tropes as its language to communicate to viewers in 2020 about the importance of the culture and history we still have.
