Ant-Man and the Wasp's own Ghost, Hannah John-Kamen, enjoys the decadence, Little Birds' Nina Sosanya is formulaically earnest, and Demi Moore's welcome, but unfortunately limited cameo lasts about as long as the good ideas in this show. Often coming across as more convincing an argument for this wierd-ass utopia than againstĬasting similarly initially seems on point - Downton Abbey's Jessica Brown Findley is undeniably stunning in her role as a widely coveted 'perfect specimin', Game of Thrones' Harry Lloyd suitably stiff as Bernard, and Alden Ehrenreich manages to leave Solo behind as the 'savage' John - but it's not long before they're given nowhere to go, and all three just become irritating as all hell. It gets tedious, and surprisingly small-scale very quickly, concerned with melodrama more than genuine drama, losing any real sense of momentum, and building to a conclusion only by necessity rather than any organic crescendo. The reality is, though, that Brave New World abandons its lofty ideals almost as quickly as it introduces them, eliciting some brief early tension from an excellent 'Savage Lands' setpiece, before leaving the much more electric environment behind for the entire rest of the season in favour of the daily orgies of the utopia. The stage is set for a corrupt futurescape, where the prized Lenina starts to question her pill-popping programming, where her insecure supervisor Bernard starts to wonder whether something is awry after he finds evidence of a murder which, he's told, simply isn't possible in this perfect world, and where the 'savage' John might bring the whole curtain down and uncover the rotten core beneath. There's also her potential new role in charge, maybe alongside Mustafa.You have to understand that Brave New World secures a lot of goodwill in its opening pitch, coming across within the first episode alone as having the potential to be really very special indeed. Season two could explore Lenina and John's relationship, could they get things back on track? Alden Ehrenreich revealed there was a version of the ending where they did end up together. I saw David the other night (showrunner) and he's literally told no one." Harry Lloyd (Bernard) told ET: "You assumed some kind of Indra, but no one knows. But why would the savages' current leader Sheila immediately recognise it? It could also be Soma, or the recipe for the drugs, as it's suggested they're needed to set up a society with Indra. BUT WHAT'S IN THE BOX? Well, Indra, we assume. It seems likely the savages will harness Indra with Bernard as their leader. Brave New World ending explained - what's in the box? However, it definitely opens up territory for a season two, though such a thing has yet to be confirmed. Indra was a new element added to the plot especially for the remake, and ironically that story is probably one of the show's weakest points, as it's unnecessarily convoluted. We then cut to Lenina, far away, surveying a green and modern landscape – which doesn't look like New London – she looks outwards before smiling. ![]() However, it's soon revealed he's not actually with her, as he's using a 'Sprite', a piece of technology projecting Lenina, and he's living alone in a run-down city, perhaps beneath New London. ![]() ![]() Mustafa warns Indra is still out there, like a lost and angry hurt child, and warns she could do bad things.įinally, we see John living a seemingly idyllic life with Lenina, similar to the one he described when they first got together. Lenina Crowne is seen speaking with Mustafa, presumably being offered the role as the new Director of Stability, or something similar, as she asks "Why me?" and Mustafa tells her because she's "different".
