Westworld is beautifully shot but extremely self-serious in tone. However, to the show’s credit, I did find it more vibrant, splashy and humorous than some of the more somber, bleak sci-fi shows we’ve had in recent memory. It is impossible to discuss Brave New World without comparing it to other similar prestige television shows like Westworld, Black Mirror and the like. There are plenty of recappers out there who know Huxley’s story well and can offer you a more analytical compare and contrast of the two storytelling mediums, but here at Show Snob, we’ll be discussing the show purely based on what is presented by Peacock TV, where it airs.īrave New World is yet another television series about a technologically-enhanced future, supposedly set in a utopia despite the obvious sinister undertones. I want to preface this recap by stating that so you’re aware I will not be comparing this series to the book in any capacity.

Unfortunately, I was not one of those people and have not yet read the novel (although I did just order it on Amazon). Most people have heard of Aldous Huxley’s iconic sci-fi novel, Brave New World.

Brave New World does not introduce anything new to the genre, but it’s fun.
