How do I create levels of indentation in my UITableView - similar to a comment reply - system where you can see the background of the table view?

I want to create a UITableView that visually resembles a commenting system for a blog where users can reply to a user, who can then be replied to by another user, etc. Kind of like a tree format.

I'm curious how I'd best implement this with a UITableView. I know there's a tableView:indentationLevelForRowAtIndexPath method on UITableViewDelegate and the cells have a similar property, but they seem to just translate the content of the UITableViewCell rather than the full cell itself and thus not exposing the background of the table view.

How would this be accomplished in a functional, MVC way? A property on the cell that translates itself?
