Trivia
The series was shot at the Llanharan's Dragon Film Studios in Wales, in addition to certain other real world locations serving as exteriors, both for New London and Savageland edited in such a way as to be futuristic. Its likely that the Savage Land landscape was actually somewhere in the UK, most likely Wales, as background details such as the electricity pylons appears to be of the UK design. The series also avoids using distinct buildings in Wales that have previously appeared in BBC series shot in Wales such as (New) Doctor Who.

Not Brave New World

Fans of the book can happily skip this. It might be loosely based on Aldous Huxley's groundbreaking book but it never manages to have the same impact as it. Making a 9 episode series out of a book that has a little bit over 300 pages, while avoiding the most thought-provoking parts of it, also didn't help.

There are things to like: good actors, the sets are gorgeous and the first three/four episodes are interesting enough.

There are also things to dislike: the writing is not always on point, the subject matter is watered down and after a promising beginning it becomes a soap set in a dystopian future. Especially episodes 6, 7 and 8 are just filler with an abundance of (modest) sex scenes and character development that feels forced.
