There's nothing brave or new to see here.

As it unfolds, "Brave New World" fits only the most nebulous sense of the word "interesting," with its most relevant commentary left behind in the Savage Lands.
July 14, 2020
Brave New World plays it safe and rehearses empty criticisms that are undone by its own content and platform.
July 13, 2020
It's not an immediately gripping techno-satire, nor a mindbending puzzle box. It's not an impressive sci-fi world, nor a bold piece of sex-violence-profanity prestige. It's just a disappointing adaptation trying to be everything for everyone.

Brave New World is begging for discussion, and there's a lot to unpack.

"Brave New World" isn't bad - what remain of Huxley's central ideas here are still relevant and important. They're just presented in a such a muted way you wind up thinking of another Rolling Stones song, about wanting more satisfaction.

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.

There's a lot of talk about the "social body" in a lavish new limited-series adaptation of Brave New World... But it's the many scantily clad bodies writhing in orgiastic abandon that you might remember after watching this sleek and sensual depiction.

Though the "Westworld" parallel applies to the affluent creeps-exploiting-the-poor in an amusement park narrative, "Brave New World" is much more rewarding to watch.
July 14, 2020
Huxley's novel was revolutionary when it was published nearly 90 years ago, but the show has turned it into just another piece of consumer content.
July 13, 2020
A well-made, thoughtful show, succumbing only occasionally to the silliness of its extreme premise. That is about as much as you can ask from a debuting drama series in this moment of content.
July 14, 2020
For the most part, we're left with an unsexy portrait of decadence, a thriller without thrills, a prescription that's less soma than Sominex.
