I was reminded recently of the ABC Australia series Utopia, top marks
The series is set inside the offices of the fictional Nation Building Authority, a newly created government organisation responsible for overseeing major infrastructure projects ranging from new roads and rail lines to airports and high rise urban developments.
It follows the working lives of a tight-knit team of bureaucrats in charge of guiding big building schemes from announcement to unveiling.
Throughout the series grand projects are frustrated by self-interest, publicity stunts, constant shifts in political priorities and bureaucracy.
So close to reality it is scary
Have a look. Good for a laugh.
