Interesting cast so far. The main actress isn't well known to me but I spotted a few familiar faces. Harry Loyd from Doctor Who (Family of Blood). The stunningly beautiful Kylie Bunbury from Pitch but I first remember her in Twisted. Klaus (Joseph Morgan) from The Originals. Dutch from Killjoys. A weird blonde G.I. Jane.
very watchable, sci-fi that has good cgi + good acting with what so far is a click the next episode to see what happens next story. thumbs up.
It was ok until the last 3 episodes where the plot went downhill as well as the characters. It is funny that Huxley predicted the dumbed down of art, and they made a dumbed down version of his work. What an irony.
It was so rushed I was thinking I had taken a soma pill. The ending was basically a copy and paste of Westworld. I think they should've be more faithful to the original story of the book, it would have been a great series. Instead, they simply dumbed down the story, and the character actions in the last couple of episodes happen only for the sake of the plot.
Let’s be honest, it’s not an awful show. But not a great adaptation either. Everything is pretty flat, and the show failed to make me feel real empathy toward any of the characters. Therefore, the show gives you big tons of “soft-porn” to prevent you from falling asleep. So, if you want to see some beautiful CGI cities and lot of titties, that’s a good show. If you expect some kind of real social critique or reflexion about humanity, it’s going to be a disappointment to you.
I loved this show. Honestly wasn’t sure during first episode but it totally hooked me in. I thought the acting was great.
Worth a watch. Some concepts are explored better than others but I think that the overall message at least is updated well enough.
On the downside, I'm not sure if that was intended but some parts resemble a version of conservatives' nightmares - not that the mockery is unjustified, but when you put the whole thing together with the fact that that society is actually very bad, it gives off propaganda vibes not too far from intentionally bad satire like "God's Not Dead", and that's a bigger problem than any other fault they might have had.

The series is seriously good; in between all the sex scenes there is an amazing story. Now I am all for the great sex of the beautiful people - which is actually done very tasteful - but in this case I think a little less graphic might have helped the series pick up more viewers.
But the story is truely amazing. It's striking. It's relevant. It's sci-fi and yet realistic. And when you consider the series is (loosely) based on a book from the 1930s; its hard to imagine how much 2020+ it is.
I loved the movie Equilibrium, which has a openly very dark side to it, with feelings being not allowed. This series Brave New World has the same basis though its the opposite with obligatory fake happiness. I would say that Brave New World actually perhaps is even more dark...
I really enjoyed the story of the series and I totally binged it in just 3 days!
There is an ending to the series, though largely open, but still giving just enough closure to accept it as a series finale........ but I do hope that there will be another season afterall.
Absolutely loved this! Gutted there’s only one season.
Was a rocky start, a bit slow and very weird, but I’m glad I got to episode 2 and then I was hooked.
It’s something different, but not a show to watch with parents or probably any older children if you have any, it’s got a lot of sex scenes.
The first half was interesting but the second. I didn't like the finale. I don't recommend this.
Long time ago have read the book and I think the show don't follow the book for everything.
The world design his like I have imagined from the book.
Actors are good, music is great...
But something are bad in this show, exterior are not correctly used and too much caricatural.
And finally sex ruin the show, don't remember book have so much sex scene.
The story don't need this, when the show are focused on the real story it's great on other case it's bad.
That's correct show, but not great because sex scene are useless and use space for nothing.
Savages with American accents taint the drug addled minds of orgy-loving Londoners.
How is Demi Moore still that hot? Damn.
I wasn't expecting much as a "peacock original" but an amazing story concept, great casting, lots of fun to watch. So, too good for a second season it appears :upside_down:. But still, there was a cohesive arc in the one season, and it's still well worth a watch even if they left some questions unanswered.
This show is really refreshing. The characters are great, and the interplay between them works brilliantly. I sometimes feel let down by the CGI in sci-fi shows, but they must have had a decent budget, as it looks and feels fantastic. I'm happy to recommend this show. Fingers crossed for a second season.
Even though Peacock is part of the NBC family this is NOT your normal NBC show. It is definitely no family-friendly.
As with many shows these days, it seems that the first season is just setting up a longer over-reaching arch. What really sucks tho is when the show gets cancelled just as it is going to get good.
The show itself, at least in the first (and only season now) felt more like a little brother clone of HBO's Westworld. It even used several of the same set locations. I did like the show, and I would have liked to see more but sadly it has been cancelled.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
Not quite like the book but the essence was there. Not sure of there will be a second season but if there is, I hope that they get on with it and not wait so long that we get bored and forget about it and ultimately pan the second season because it felt "disjointed."
For me it was a bit boring, but I know who would really love it :) So even if my rating isn't nowhere near high, I can easily recommend it :)
Can't wait for the sequel, love this sub genre of sci-fi !
