You don’t have to have read the Huxley novel to understand (and enjoy) this series, but let’s talk plot because this image ^^^ demands a slight explanation. Instead, this Brave New World operates with a roving eye upon captivating characters, and it refuses to take itself too seriously.
And perhaps most importantly, it’s a high-concept series that doesn’t get precious about the concept in question.
It’s representative and modern as well as cool and sexy and pulp-soaked. The end result is alternatingly sleek and gritty, as well as charming and frightening. The good news for genre fans is that the book’s newest adaptation, as a Peacock TV series, results in an early vote of confidence for NBCUniversal’s streaming service (moreso than the David Schwimmer-starring spy comedy, Intelligence). Aldous Huxley’s classic sci-fi 1932 book, Brave New World, stands as one of the earliest dystopian novels, and it’s remained surprisingly relevant.
