Westworld

A dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin. Set at the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past, it explores a world in which every human appetite, no matter how noble or depraved, can be indulged.

Westworld is high-concept science fiction. The first season is a brilliant puzzle. The subsequent ones become more ambitious and less accessible. The work of actors like Anthony Hopkins and Evan Rachel Wood justifies each episode.
