#MOVIES ABOUT UTOPIA TV#

It's one of the more hilarious conceits in TV history, and the show builds on the real idea of what a 'Good Place' should look like and also questions what kinds of humans should go there.

but we're following a gal who thinks she's not supposed to be there. Let's look at some more examples of utopia fiction in film and TV.Īnother one of my favorite shows of all time is The Good Place. For those who have not seen it, the pilot takes place in a utopia where it feels like heaven. Theoretically, in a utopia, everyone should be equals anyway. This is a world where all the men are dead except one and women work to fix the world.Īnd you don't have to build a show like this around women only. Or what about a TV show like The Bold Type, that shows women working together at a magazine and supporting one another? Another twist would be the upcoming Y: The Last Man TV show on FX. It's an island habitat populated only by Amazonian warrior women. One of the largest subcategories in utopian fiction is that of the feminist utopia. Feminist utopia imagines a society without gender oppression, envisioning a future or an alternate reality where men and women are not stuck in traditional roles of inequality but equal. Progress is the realisation of Utopias.' - Oscar Wilde Feminist Utopias in Film and TV And when Humanity lands there, it looks out, and, seeing a better country, sets sail. 'A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing. Are you tearing this utopia down or setting it up? Things you should keep in mind are whether or not you're following a government system, a business, or a secret enclave. The worldbuilding here can mean constructing a place or an entire globe. Is it like Rivendell in The Lord of the Rings or is it more like Washington, D.C., in Minority Report? When you're working on a utopia, you need to think about how it exists and what other genres you're bringing into play.
