SRS, I did some more searches on the Muse album called Resistance and the songs were written by Matthew James Bellamy who was inspired by George Orwell's novel 1984. He has said that it was the love story in the novel which inspired the songs.

Dystopian, futuristic sci-fi - so my sense of two other similar TV shows was fairly close but 1984 is even more about people in powerful positions suppressing the rights of ordinary people.
