“Top-notch” and “captivating” dystopian drama has just been added to Channel 4

The gripping, top-notch dystopian drama known as Arcadia has secured its latest streaming platform residence in the United Kingdom.

The television show, titled “Belgian-Dutch,” takes place within a closely monitored country that exists in a bleak, post-apocalyptic environment. Although it appears tranquil on the surface, this nation harbors deep-seated corruption among its ruling class. As a result of financial fraud being uncovered, a family becomes embroiled in a scandal.

In the United Kingdom, the debut season of the series featuring Gene Bervoets and Monic Hendrickx has been released, adding all eight episodes on Channel 4. The following season aired in Belgium earlier this year, but it has yet to be made accessible in the UK.

Since its debut in 2023, the show has been met with largely favorable feedback from viewers, as indicated by IMDb’s current average user rating of 6.4/10 based on more than 1500 reviews.

As a gamer, I’d say: “Though the game’s world wasn’t as layered as I’d hoped, the storyline got increasingly enigmatic and captivating as it progressed. The visuals, particularly the costumes and settings, were truly impressive.

One user remarked that the various themes were skillfully woven together seamlessly, finding it remarkably well-done. Another user emphasized that Arcadia is a production worth seeing due to its thought-provoking exploration of moral dilemmas when faced with a dictatorship.

One user praised the series, saying “This show certainly doesn’t fall short… It immediately draws you in from the start of each episode. When an episode concludes, you can’t help but crave more. I also believe the acting is top-notch,” while another simply called it “amazing.

Additionally, a user on Google provided a glowing review, stating: “This exceptional series boasts an engaging plotline and superb performances from talented actors. I’m thrilled to have watched it, primarily due to its powerful message. A well-deserved five stars!

If you prefer survival thrillers over dystopian dramas, then Channel 4 offers an intriguing option: the French-language series “The Devil’s Leap“. This show centers around a father and daughter who stumble upon a crime during their hike.

Arcadia season 1 is streaming now on Channel 4.

The latest print edition of Digital Spy, titled “Oasis – Live in ’25”, is available for purchase! You can find it at your local newsstands or buy it online, currently selling for only £8.99.
