'Brave New World,' the long-gestating Aldous Huxley adaptation of a dystopian future society, starring Jessica Brown Findlay and Alden Ehrenreich, debuts on Peacock. Read THR’s review:
There's no counting the number of crises currently plaguing America, but a hair-raising uniformity and orderliness among its people isn't one of them. The past five or so years have, in fact, given us myriad reasons to fear the ongoing fragmentation and polarization of our nation, with technology accelerating the creation and distribution of "alternative facts" and algorithmically curated realities.
The nine-part debut season feels like it's built on miscalculation atop miscalculation, but the gravest one is that the citizens of New London are effectively extraterrestrials. They resemble no human society to date: There are no parents, spouses, children or, really, friends. Monogamy is verboten, while marriages and families are the outdated practices of the "Savages," who are coded as poor Americans and live on a reservation that New Londoners treat like a zoo.
Bernard is smitten with Lenina Crowne , the Beta-plus whose aforementioned moments of intimacy he threw back in her face. But when the two visit the Savage Lands, where he hopes to woo her, she meets someone more intriguing: John the Savage , who has experience with all kinds of things foreign to her, like music with lyrics, and a mother , and hours upon hours of moping. It's the last one that grabs her most: New Londoners pop feel-good pills at the slightest discomfort.
