The fresh-scrubbed contenders in the latest Exemplar include dancer Aliyah (Robyn Alomar), her dancer not-quite-boyfriend Tempo (Robbie Graham-Kuntz), Reform outcasts Bodhi (Akiel Julien) and Mags (Mickeey Nguyen), plus Sage (Devyn Nekoda), Brooklyn (Humberly Gonzalez) and a few others. So, in YA terms, it’s like if the world of Divergent did America’s Got Talent and there were no stakes. The losers? Well, absolutely nothing seems to happen to them.

The winner gets fame and it’s unclear what else. Helping maintain order in New Babyl in ways that the series lacks the capability to explain is the annual event known as the Exemplar, an entertainment competition pitting two dozen 16-year-olds from across the sectors in interdisciplinary ways meant to honor their communal history. Residents are divided into sectors - Nature, Progress, Industry and, for law-breakers, Reform - governed by the Authority, a tribunal of rules who aim to keep order with totalitarian slogans like, “For State/ For Community/ For All.” The backstory is that human dependence on technology fueled weakness and conflict and then, after something called The Great Flash, humanity went underground only to emerge centuries later in a domed community called New Babyl. Thorne, who directed early episodes and co-wrote the pilot with Joseph Mallozzi, Utopia Falls is likely to be compared to Hunger Games, but even that implies a greater degree of nuance than this slapdash take on the future exhibits.
