I hadn’t heard about this wave of unreleased pilots but I’m curious, particularly about the Brave New World one. I’ll have to check it out later tonight.

Edit: oh. “. The single-camera project, from Sony Pictures TV, is a workplace comedy that follows a group of unusual characters at Pilgrim Village, a theme park that specializes in recreations…”. . I thought I was getting into some Aldous Huxley goodness.

I'll be checking this one as well. I grabbed these as soon as I saw they were uploaded. Never know how long they'll be up.

There is a Brave New World show on Netflix which is an adaptation of the book.

In the US, I think it’s on Peacock.

No shit? I’m surprise I missed that. Was it well received/ well done?

Edit: google says not so much, but I’m still going to check it out for myself

Yeah the reviews were not great, so I didn't bother. But shows with this sort of subject matter can still be interesting even if they're not well received.

Eh, it had it's moments. The main interesting thing about that was that Grant Morrison (heady comic book author) was one of the writers. The show didn't end up coming together as well as they'd hoped, but they did have a lot of ideas to bring to the table. I dunno. I'm not sorry I watched it the once.

Sounds like it could be based on a George Saunders short story!
