Review of Brave New World

I'm 5 episodes in, I'm not sure if I'll continue. Leaving aside that the only thing it shares with the novel is the title, as a stand alone Sci Fi it just feels bland and unoriginal. There is nothing new presented or explored: it's well put together, it looks nice and must have had some cash thrown at it but still somehow comes across as cheap, naive , and Dr Who-ish, and is better aimed at teen viewers. Personally, I would have been a little more generous if it had merely been 'loosely based on' or 'inspired by' the novel, but it seems the producers are riding on Huxley's coat tails for an easy cash-in. On the plus side; it features a very brief and amusing appearance by comedian, Rich Hall, and has a very nice soundtrack. I was really looking forward to this but realise I expected too much.
