The UK version is better in every way, but Utopia is a show that seems to be far too dark & edgy for American audiences. Like the UK version, it doesn't shy away from violence to women or children, and characters morally dubious.
There is some Americanized changes to the show, like overexplaining the story and having to explain everything out of fear the audience won't understand what happened. Ultimately I don't expect this show to survive because it doesn't wrap up everything in a happy, sugary ending like typical comic book/Marvel movies.
Generally, American audiences don't like it when evil prevails or if there isn't a clear good and bad guy. The good guy always has to win at the end of an American story-arc (even if it takes a triology to reach that conclusion).
