The show Brave New World takes place in a futuristic society where there is no pain, no ambition, and absolutely no privacy. Everyone is satisfied with their lives and the State provides them with everything they could possibly need or want. The main characters of the show are two young people named Lenina Crowne and Bernard Marx, played by Jessica Brown Findlay and Harry Lloyd respectively. They are both representatives of the ruling class, and they live their lives according to the strict rules of their society.

However, their lives take a turn for the unexpected when John, played by Alden Ehrenreich, enters the picture. John is from an old-fashioned community that lives outside the borders of the civilized world. He has grown up without any of the luxuries and conveniences of modern society, and he is intrigued by everything he sees in this new world. As he begins to explore this new world, he finds himself drawn to Lenina and Bernard, and he starts to question the values and beliefs of his own community.

Throughout the show, we see the clash of two very different worlds - the sterile and controlled world of the civilized society and the wild and unpredictable world of the outside. We see how each character copes with the challenges of living in a society that is both perfect and flawed at the same time. And we see how the characters struggle to define themselves and their place in this world.

The show is beautifully produced, with stunning visual effects and a haunting soundtrack that perfectly captures the tone of the story. The acting is also superb, with all three main actors delivering powerful and nuanced performances. Alden Ehrenreich in particular shines as John, perfectly capturing the character's sense of wonder, confusion, and anger as he navigates this new world.

One of the most interesting aspects of the show is the way it explores the idea of happiness. In this society, everyone is supposed to be happy all the time, but at what cost? The show raises important questions about the nature of human emotions and whether or not it is possible, or even desirable, to eliminate certain negative feelings. It is a thought-provoking exploration of the concept of utopia and the dangers of trying to create a perfect society.

Overall, Brave New World is a compelling and engaging show that will appeal to anyone who enjoys thoughtful and well-crafted science fiction. The world-building is superb, the acting is top-notch, and the story is both exciting and intellectually stimulating. It is a show that will leave you thinking long after the credits roll.

Brave New World is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (9 episodes). The series first aired on July 15, 2020.
