* DrivenToSuicide: An Epsilon is implied to have killed himself in the first episode, while near the end [[spoiler:Henry]] later also does. Both cases are considered at least officially as "[[NeverSuicide accidents]]", because suicides are unfathomable for most New Londoners, as everyone's supposedly happy.

* A Party, Also Known as an Orgy: Every episode has one full blown orgy scene, owing to the attitude that sex is no longer about love or reproduction.

* RaceLift: Mond has become a black woman, while some minor characters are also people of color. All the "savages" too are white (because it would [[SocietyMarchesOn no longer be acceptable]] portraying or describing Native Americans that way).

* EyeScream: In the last episode, [[spoiler:CJack]] cuts out his ocular implant.

* OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions: Mond and the Director muse that John is in (silent) prayer over his mother's body, and it's made clear they're among only a few New Londoners who still even know what this means. To drive home the point, Mond comments that "there was once a thing called 'God'", confrming they no longer have this belief.

* AdaptationalDiversity: The book didn't describe many New Londoners as being people of color. Here, they are nearly as common as white people. Additionally, it adds more women, and some male characters (such as Mond) are {{gender flip}}ped as well.

** John the Savage is quite changed from how he is in the book. He shows far less of a cultured air and unlike his book counterpart, he has casual sex with a string of women (plus some men) very willingly. His book counterpart only had sex once in a moment of weakness after using [[FantasticDrug Soma]], and felt terrible about it afterward, as he only wanted to have serious, monogamous relationships. This also goes hand-in-hand with AdaptationalBadass, as he's more successful in shaking up the society of New London and is quicker to use violence.

* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: [[spoiler:In the last episode, the Epsilons rise up to overthrow the ruling caste.]]

* AdaptationalBadass: Lenina was a much more shallow character in the books, only deviating mildly from social norms; here, she's fleshed out much more and grows actively defiant. Linda is also a lot stronger here and shows useful skills, whereas in the book she's [[TheLoad a weak, useless person]]. John, unlike his book counterpart, also successfully makes many New Londoners question their society and helps inspire a revolution. He's quick to use violence (or incite others to).

* DisappearedDad: John never knew his father, who left his mother after she became pregnant. When they do meet, [[{{Patricide}} it doesn't end well]].

* AdaptationalSexuality: The series implies most if not all New Londoners are bisexuals, given their orgies show people pairing up without regard to genders, plus Lenina's interactions with her friend Frannie and Bernard's comments, while the book has them as strictly heterosexual libertines.
