Review of Westworld

Westworld (2016–2022)
8/10
Off to a good start
3 October 2016
I read a couple of the reviews and I was wondering what these individuals expected.. too much sex and violence?.. what did they honestly think a wild west fully immersive theme park for the rich populated by androids would offer? homesteading? gold panning? surely it is a place for them to live out their fantasies be they wholesome or depraved.. by the way not all the 'guests' are on a tour of evil, which is clearly shown as part of the narrative... as a species we happily go paintballing, if we were shooting robots we'd most likely want to fire something a little more powerful at them.. the pilot has a couple of decent plot twists which were unexpected and I thought the production values were high. Are there questions about A.I sentience, evolution, morality etc.. yes, but I would have thought that is part of the appeal of a sci-fi based series, to make you think of the what ifs and why nots.. overall I found the opening episode very promising and I expect the rest of the series to throw us a few more curveballs as to what we think is truly going on while dishing out plenty of action along the way.
