1!The [[Series/{{Utopia}} TV Series]]
2'''Season One'''
3* Mr. Lee and his powders and spoon. Especially with the casual way he explains the amount of agony he is going to put you through even before scooping out your eye like a melon ball.
4* The school shooting in episode three, is just the mechanical and efficient way Arby carries it out. Then when he gets to his last target a defenseless child who cowers in fear. Arby pauses [[{{HopeSpot}} and is stunned to find that he appears to be crying.]] He wipes the tears from his eye and looks at them in surprise. Then we cut to the [[{{Tearjerker}} opening titles as we hear Arby open fire again.]]
5
6'''Season Two'''
7* Young Philip Carvel slicing a poor rabbit's head in front of the baby [[spoiler: Pietre]] ''just to elicit any emotion'' from his emotionally-deadened child. It's not graphically shown, but still...
8** Related to the above, Brosca finds out later that [[spoiler: Pietre has sliced up their new pet rabbit and proceeded to ''eat its carcass'']] as a side effect of Carvel's experiments. Brosca's utterly horrified expression says it all.
9* Similar to Lee, Mr. Omida very calmly explains to Carvel the torture that he will inflict, but also emphasizes that he will inflict the same on Jessica, who was '''four years old.''' It's very strongly implied that Jessica wasn't the first child he's tortured.
10* In a CallBack to the first example in Season One, Wilson discovers a subtle reminder of his torture by finding a spoon under his seat inside a room in Corvadt. He then discovers that Lee is alive and after speaking to Milner, he winks and smiles at Wilson as he leaves. It comes off as NothingPersonal, but the spoon that Wilson found suggests that Lee hasn't forgotten at all about him.
11* The revelation that [[spoiler: Russian flu ''is'' real, and the Network might be planning on spreading the pathogen via ''a nuclear bomb.'']]
12** It's eventually revealed that [[spoiler: the Network plans on spreading the pathogen via crop-dusters flying over major international airports all over the world.]]
13* The side effects of the medication Becky's taking causes her to have very vivid hallucinations. Initially, it's "just" seeing her hands drenched with blood, but later on [[spoiler: she hallucinates the recently deceased translator, complete with gaping hole in his head.]]
14* Turns out the modification that Philip put into Janus. The one that the Network cannot find. [[spoiler: Is that only one race in the world will be left standing if unleashed.]]
15** Even better, further research found that thanks to Carvel's ''adjustment'' to Janus, a major side effect took place. [[spoiler: Janus not only makes the subject sterile. It nullifies the vaccine so it doesn't protect against the Russian flu. So anyone who takes the vaccine will not only be sterile, but still die horribly...unless they'd been 'spared' by having Roma blood.]]
