Utopia is unique in their overall look, despite other television shows who aim to get clean ,crisp and natural shots. Utopia aims for something completely different. They manipulate the colour ratio from a dull,neutral shot to a vibrant, colourful shot with the aim to recreate a comic book look.
An article from a WIRED magazine spoke all about the pre-production. they stated that normally in cinematography they would use greens,blues and reds but they use the opposite colours such as yellow, cyan and magentas.

As you can see from the before and after photos the post production of changing the colour levels from the everyday, average ,boring colours to eye-catching vibrant colours. It then has a huge impact on the overall effect of the show, the vibrant colours are much more striking to the eye and create a sort of supernatural effect, then again adding to the main focus/ aim of making it look a lot more like a comic book. If they were to keep the colours of the original shots it would look similar to a soap so this therefore at first glance makes you aware it is something of a different genre.
