      What to know

      Critics Consensus

      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. Read critic reviews

      Audience Reviews for Brave New World: Season 1

      • Feb 20, 2023
        It is sad how all the good tv shows are always cancelled… This one is very interesting!!!!!
      • Oct 05, 2022
        It's a masterful recreation of the book. With a lot of creative edits which although differ from the book make for a very enjoyable experience.
      • May 12, 2022
        This show had a lot of potential and was just starting to come into its own by the end of season one. Peacock seriously blew it by not approving a second season. And what is with the Rotten Tomatoes reviewers? Seriously, they're tone deaf.
      • Mar 21, 2022
        People are now genetically modified and bred in artificial wombs, where your engineered modifications places you with your job and status in society...and then someone tries to bring it all down...so basically Krypton with a higher budget minus the obvious Kryptonians. It starts really slow, so slow I almost quit in the second episode, however, if you keep to the end of episode 2, it picks up as a slow to the trigger to fast as a bullet. In a world where your place in society is set when you're born, the dream of wanting more if you don't have what you want is as old as time. It's the journey to get what you want that maybe entertaining to watch for others as it is with this series.

        A refreshing new take on Huxley's Book, including Alexa ( Indra)
      • Feb 23, 2022
        Unwatchable. I'm usually in for anything Sci-Fi, but this? I found this literally unwatchable and that almost never happens. Astonishingly bad for a project that clearly had a budget. But you can't have a show if there isn't a single redeeming character and even the terrible characters aren't even interesting. I wouldn't even remember the names if I hadn't read the book.
      • Feb 04, 2022
        Critics wrong once again. The show started off pretty good, but the plot is a little far fetched like another sci-fi movie The Island. The CGI is not great, not as good as some higher budget shows like Boba Fett or the Mandalorian, but at least the architecture and environment are futuristic. There are some parts of the story that clearly don't make sense such as simple things like no security at the Savage Lands theme park. I mean come on this is the future... But the parallels with how everyone in the world is addicted to Soma(pharmaceutical pills} is funny. By the 4th or 5th episode it got corny.

        Once again the critics get it wrong, forgetting that shows are about entertainment not philosophy. Really enjoyed it.
      • Dec 13, 2021
        Incredible good show! Good acting, superb story, could not stop watching!
      • Oct 03, 2021
        I'm really loving this series! It's not at all easy to be powerful without being threatening, to appear strong while secretly being in pain, but Nicole Kidman does this effortlessly throughout the series. As do many of the other characters. The acting is good. Really good. And you see a change in the characters as they progress. This series just hooks you in in such a realistic, moving way and it's so incredibly interesting to watch.
