Trivia
NBC, Universal, Peacock, and Sky, are corporate siblings. The Sky UK localised version of season 1 production credits are "A Sky Original" then "A Peacock Original" with the episode content being the unedited version. Sky UK do this "Sky original" on their original shows that they've either commissioned and or owned or (co-)funded. Since their creation 30 years ago, Sky had a reputation for buying in cheap US programming they hadn't made themselves, although prior to being part of Comcast NBCUniversal, they were a News Corporation company so had access to the 20th Century Fox programming and the FOX Broadcasting programme libraries.

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.
