	Media	Author	Review
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Think of 'Utopia Falls' as a Child's First Guide to Dystopia and a Child's First Guide to Hip-Hop. It skews really young, really basic and really simplistic"
		Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"At times, 'Utopia Falls' has a 'where is this going?' weirdness that keeps it stable as a light watch, even though you’ll wish that the drama in between the revolution was richer, and that the characters were more colorful"
		Nicole Hill Den of Geek	"Fortunately, the song and dance aspects did not detract from my overall enjoyment of the show (...) 'Utopia Falls' delivers, even if it borrows heavily from other recent YA franchises (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Daniel Hart Ready Steady Cut	"Thin, immature writing hinders an otherwise great concept, as 'Utopia Falls' season 1 falls victim to the tired teen sci-fi formula (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Shannon Miller AV Club	"[It] forgets the founding mothers of hip-hop (...) A story that is clumsy and, at best, incomplete."
		Joel Keller Decider	"We’re not sure if 'Utopia Falls' is going to get better than the first episode, which we found hokey at times. But we’ll keep watching just to hear more Snoop Dogg"
		Jenny Zheng The Daily Dot	"[It] ambitiously combines hip-hop with science fiction but ultimately doesn’t quite succeed in its execution (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
