There are quite a few interesting ideas but they have been strewn everywhere, and that makes it unable to cohesively portray a community.
#Brave new world 2020 tv series series
I haven’t read Huxley‘s book, but the Wikipedia summary shows the series seems to be following the book a lot. the population divided into classes: Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Epsilon, reminding us of the Hindu caste system. There are references to Indian mythology like ‘soma’, a happiness drug used by everyone in New London Indra, the Vedic deity being the name of the A.I. Joining him are the seductive Jessica Brown Findlay as Lenina Crowne and Alden Ehrenreich as John the Savage. He brings the different shades of the character who find it hard to balance his conditioning to be happy and to maintain the stability of the social body, while unable to suppress his fear of self-doubt, jealousy and shame. Harry Lloyd has done the role of Bernard Marx, a counsellor in New London, very well.
When one young man from the savage lands gets allowed inside New London, there are unimaginable consequences. Places outside the new world are called the “savage lands” where people are poor, dying and without modern-day comforts, as they had preferred to live ‘freely’ than to be controlled by Indra. The story is about New London, a world on earth where the population is prosperous, healthy, always happy, governed by an all-knowing Artificial-Intelligent system called Indra. I like the genre so I completed the nine-episode series in two days, but most may not find it interesting enough and so the show gets a ‘Raw’ rating. Even with a story that was intriguing, visuals that were stunning, a convincing performance from the lead pair, the show doesn’t get you engaged as it proceeds mostly on expected lines. It is based on Aldous Huxley‘s classic book of the same name, which came in 1932. Brave New World (2020) is an SCI-FI that was released on peacock in the USA and on Netflix for countries including India.
