    In short:
    A good series which is too confusing. The action puzzles are too complex.
    But since you have good actors and the stories are really good, you can put this series very much to heart.

    Westworld starts a bit slow but builds up into probably one of the most interesting TV shows in years. This is a dystopian classic at its best where the lines between time and humanity are blurred. I'm not sure where they can take the show after the first season, but I am interested to see what happens next.

    Westworld doesn't liberate itself from plot holes and exposition; however, it is beautifully acted, insightful, delightfully addictive and full of thrills.

    Westworld is the best new sci-fi series in a crop of great new sci-fi series. Apart from a very smart (if slow-burning) narrative, it's a riveting showcase of terrific performances. The only reason I can't give it a perfect score is that the first season has really only been a set-up for the story the show runners really want to tell. Hopefully it won't take too long for season 2 to show up.

The brilliant original high concept it cannot take credit for along with its high production value creative retelling, which it can, is immensely compelling for our times though.… Expand

    I would give it a 9 if they had an original sountrack instead of those dumbed down instrumental rock songs. God I hate when I hear that kind of music and this show is full of them. So uninspired.

    This is easily one of the best shows ever to come across TV, I'd argue its my favorite ever, and I've seen almost every high rated TV show in existence.

    To the show though, I've never enjoyed a show quite this much, I watched the entire thing in the span of about a week, couldn't stop.. if not for my job it would have been in the span of 2 days easily, I'm not going to break down the details because I'll be writing a review that's 10k words, giving this a 10, which I don't think I've done for anything on here yet, can't wait for s2.    … Expand

    the show at first it´s has some little clichés and some things just dont make sense but if you wait and see it all and resolve the puzzle you find a very philoshophic and reflexionous series dont be fooled by it´s comercial appariance , also it could be more impressive on the action scenes

    Although their isn't a percentage that could expose some of the associations with the old version of the film, although you might think that the balance is in the connection to otherworldly part of the film that sets apart enough room that their isn't a base of control that was meant to be a descriptive in a future past tense.

    Westworld is incredibly surprising, it´s mysterious and intriguing tone mixed with the depth of the message which is trying to spread makes this, one of the best shows of the year. The plot full of twists and the comeback of a big legend like Anthony Hopkins are some of the strongest parts of the series, but without any doubt, Evan Rachel Wood is the biggest success.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In a nutshell, it was fantastic, a good mixture of different ideas we’ve seen before in Nolan brother’s movies; nonlinear storytelling like Memento, challenging the idea that is it OK to kill clones (maybe this time androids instead) like The Prestige, this idea that like androids we’re not actually awake even when we think we are and we’re just in one of the different layers of a sleep, was borrowed from Inception.

    Although it doesn’t mean that the movie has anything new to share with us, it wasn't just a duplicate, it was a brilliant reconstruction of all the things we knew from Nolan’s movies. I count the days to watch the second episode.    … Expand

    I had my ups and downs with this series. I do think I would enjoy it much more watching it for a second time - a lot of it was going over my head on first viewing and I became disengaged towards the end. However, if this was ever to be considered truly great TV it needs to work on an initial viewing.

    I do not understand profesional critics. You have a show that challenges your inteligence, with many literary references, the very interesting theme of the artificial intelligence and they find it worse than many stupid shows that can be watched today. Too much blood and violence for my taste but eveything closes beautifully in the last chapter.

    A high quality serie. It resumes the plot about the rebellion of the robots, making mazy scenery. The screenplay is enigmatic, the actors are great: we have Antony Hopkins, Ed Harris and Evan Rachel Wood. Good photography, good scenography. The narrative is a bit slow, but it allows you to become attached to the characters.

    The pilot looked promising but after a while, it became bland. The actors got little chemistry for me and It felt forgettable for me. Although the production is crazy (as much as HBO can get when they produce Game of Thrones) it still didn't hook me. Still, Kudos to HBO for their unrelenting quality for TV dramas!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Westworld is my favorite tv show. Let's start with the people involved in the making of this tv show. JJ Abrams & The Nolan Brothers. These are some of the best sci-fi storytellers in hollywood, which make this show amazing. The story of Westworld is about a VR theme park (witch is western themed) with android employees called hosts which are very life like. Some of them start malfunctioning and they lead a revolution to free themselves. The characters have amazing back stories and Abrams and the Nolan Brothers work to make sure you on the edge of your seat. The show does a great job so you can consider this show a legitimate Western since they shoot at real famous Western film sites and the acting is natural and they don't make it obvious about the technology and most of the story takes place in the western themed park . They blend in the technology parts so it fits into the story well. The show does a amazing job of fitting in host's backstories and park guest's backstories that are integral to the story well and all characters are written real well.… Expand

    A primeira temporada nos reservou grandes momentos emplacados com a bela fotografia e trilha sonora. Pontos positivos para os efeitos especias e atuações respeitáveis do elenco em geral, os pontos negativos vão para a construção confusa e desordenada do drama, que mesmo sendo intencional pode trazer o desinteresse por parte do público que poderá achar: chata e monótoma.

Her şey öyle güzel ve kusursuz ki, ikinci sezona başlıyorum. Senarist yönetmen vs değişmediyse aynı mutluluğu yaşayacağımı düşünmekten çok heyecanlanıyorum.

    With a star-studded cast (notably featuring Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood, Anthony Hopkins, James Marsden, and Jeffrey Wright), lush production design, epically sprawling story, and astonishingly huge budget, HBO is banking on the J.J. Abrams-produced Westworld to become a tentpole series. In a rare case, the network's investment pays off.

    Westworld is explicitly, and often wittily, an exploitation series about exploitation, full of naked bodies that are meant to make us think about nudity and violence that comments on violence. It’s the kind of trippy conceptual project that would be unbearable if it weren’t so elegantly made. So far, it works, mostly--not because it’s perfect but because it gets under your skin.
