Peacock is available in three tiers: the basic tier is free, but has commercials. It consists of nine episodes which will all hit Peacock at once, making this show perfect for a binge watching session. The show is available exclusively on NBCUniversal’s new streaming service Peacock. Many critics are talking about the show’s relevance to today, while some think the show doesn’t quite fulfil its potential.

The show currently has a critic rating of 69% on Rotten Tomatoes, although there aren’t yet enough reviews to reach a Critics Consensus. Reviews are beginning to hit the web, and so far they’re mostly positive.

You can watch the trailer for Brave New World on YouTube now. Lloyd is Bernard Marx, an ‘alpha-plus’ character at the top of the social hierarchy, and Findlay is Lenina Crowne – a rung below Bernard as a ‘beta-plus’. Ehrenreich plays outsider John the Savage, while Moore plays his mother Linda. Jessica Brown Findlay also appears in a starring role in all 9 episodes. The show isn’t short of big names – Demi Moore, Harry Lloyd (you’ll recognise him as Viserys Targaryen in Game of Thrones) and Alden Ehrenreich (Han Solo in 2018’s Solo: A Star Wars Story) all star in the adaptation. The TV show is a modern adaptation that makes some changes to the book, particularly by adjusting the gender and race of characters to deal with problematic elements of the source material. The book was written by Aldous Huxley in 1931 and was published a year later in 1932. Expect plenty of sleek visuals and sci-fi terminology. The book is often likened to George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, while the show has already drawn comparisons to HBO’s Westworld. When an outsider appears, this society is disturbed – while it also has to deal with trouble coming from within. Any negative feelings are medicated away with doses of the drug soma. The story is set in a dystopian future with a biologically engineered social hierarchy (with people ranked as Alphas, Betas, Gammas, Deltas and Epsilons). Here’s our take on it…īrave New World is a TV show based on the book of the same name. One of those titles is Brave New World, a dystopian drama which offers plenty of action and suspense. There’s a whole host of new shows and movies coming out on streaming service Peacock today (July 15). Love free streaming? Prime Video offers 30 days free now.
