This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Brave New World, but without the Brave. This adaptation fails to understand the basic premise of its source material, focusing on spectacle without substance. Perhaps most importantly, the showrunners seem to have forgotten to make the society of the World State a dystopia at all; while somewhat sensational, there is no coherent societal allegory contained within - and these deviations from the source only create further problems with the story, which the writers attempt to resolve by way of a convoluted AI conspiracy and problematic subplots which only open up more questions.
