Brave New World is an American science fiction drama television series loosely based on the classic 1932 novel of the same name by Aldous Huxley.
[4] The series "imagines a utopian society that has achieved peace and stability through the prohibition of monogamy, privacy, money, family, and history itself.
Although she wishes for a better life for her son, John's subversive influence infects and ultimately destroys New London society by disrupting its citizens' acceptance of its immoral caste system.
[13] On February 13, 2019, the series was moved to the USA Network, with David Wiener replacing Bohem as a writer and Owen Harris directing the pilot.
The website's critical consensus reads: "Brave New World is sleek and seductive, but not very daring, only skimming the surface of Aldous Huxley's dystopian epic without plumbing its philosophical depths.
Sonia Saraiya of Vanity Fair gave it a positive review: "The new series is a clever modern adaptation, engaging deeply with the source material while dispensing with Huxley's glaringly racist themes and some of the misogyny, too.
"[21] Judy Berman of Time suggests the show owed more to Westworld than Huxley, but said the series looked gorgeous and the performances were solid.
Even so, Berman found the show lacking: "Television thrives on rich characters, but, in large part because it's set in a realm devoid of eccentricity, I struggled to get invested in this bunch.
