    Rol yapma oyunlarını çok seven bir oyuncuysanız ve bundan da fazla olarak felsefeye düşkünseniz; kesinlikle izlemeniz gereken bir dizi. İlk sezonu az önce bitirdim ve harika hissettim. Her şey öyle güzel ve kusursuz ki, ikinci sezona başlıyorum. Senarist yönetmen vs değişmediyse aynı mutluluğu yaşayacağımı düşünmekten çok heyecanlanıyorum.

    Surprisingly, the IMDB plot outline, "Set at the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past ... a world in which every human appetite can be indulged without consequence" applies more to the original book and movie. Here this is more background than foreground thematically.

Here this is more background than foreground thematically.

    What is foreground thematically is emerging, authentic humanity, memory and wakefulness in primarily the lead female characters.

    Secondarily this theme: the robots were first created NOT for playthings for the rich. They were first created to embody authentic wakeful humanity. Experiences of personal suffering are the "cornerstone" of each constructed identity. Later Westworld corrupted into a "playground for the rich." The emerging humanity of the robots is contrasted (clumsily, probably an afterthought) with the corrupt inhumanity of rich elites. The blood, gore and sex are commercial window dressing for the above two themes.

    If you like Westworld do check out Personal Of Interest, Jonathan Nolan's prior TV effort, which I characterize as 'real world Batman without the costumes.'    … 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.

    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

    After the first couple of episodes I was hooked and binged watched the series. Every episode after that seemed to get worse.

    narratives with the hosts living in loop with such an amount of time, and they choose if they want to board in the narrative or not.
    The apresentation for this world was great, they introduce you to the park and the universe in a way that you completely feel that place, understand what is going on, slowly and complicated, it let you get inside of that park. The prologue of the show and the primary explanations about the operation mainly are good, but when the season ends, are still some questions about things on the park, how one or another thing could be done, but you definely understand the majority of the thing.
    Evan Rachel Wood did a splendid job as the host Dolores, she could perfectly some emotions with her character without doing expressions, wich seems to be a really hard thing to do, like cry for example, she could perfectly pass the idea of doubt and discovery at some moments, there also is another moment that her character is updated with something, and it is great what she did. Anthony Hopkins as Ford will surely be always remembered for this role, he delivery more than what is needed for the character, and he is perfect at it, he is Shakespearean in the way that he speaks, he does have a perfect timing, during some phrases he can speak in a way that just makes it seems a lot smarter than it actually is, Hopkins can feel powerfull and in full domain of everything that happens, even when the situation isn't the best, you can feel it and see in his face. Thandie Newton as Maeve did a pretty good job, i just don't think that it was perfect, she does have a lot of screen time and is crucial for unrolling the story, but i don't think that she delivered as well as Evan did, but she wasn't bad at all, i just didn't completely bough that she wasn't a real person, she didn't had that big moment as others did in this show. Now, Ed Harris was great in some moments completely stole the show, he really acts like a cowboy and have such of a personality that it is great, his crusade is a major spoiler, but i can say that he was a perfect cast, you fear him. James Marsden have some screen time as Teddy, and it is very fucntional, he did a good job in what he should and could. Jeffrey Wright did a very nice job as well, you completely buy him as a smart scientist or something like that, someone that you would call to solve some tech problems, during the season there is some big revelations with the character and his expressions and sentimentals are very well expressed by the actor. Angela Sarafyan had a small role, but in some moments very schocking, she was gorgeous and did a nice job. Tessa Thompson with the character of Charlotte had a political role, she worked out of the park as move maker, she wanted to changes ruling stuff, she can totally pass the idea of confidence and power, by her expressions and words you completely wouldn't want to buy a beef with her. Rodrigo Santoro and Ingrid Bolsø Berdal had partner characters inside the park, for me, those two guys were so great, every time that their characters were on screen was a very nice moment, with action and perfectly acceptable what they did in action, nothing was forced or anything, when some revelation moment to them happens, Ingrid totally delivered and Rodrigo maybe could have appear a little more surprised or something, but both did a very nice job. Ben Barnes and Jimmi Simpson worked like a Yin Yang characters, one totally would destroy and don't care and the other sees something different that it is very fun to find out with him.
    The mainly reason that i think that this show is amazing, are all of those existentialism or escapism philosophy that are discussed during the episodes, there is some moments that really puts you in thinking mode, wondering and imagining things like, we could be in a simulated reality just like the hosts and don't have any idea of it, like a Matrix thing. The hole concept about the people that reveal who they really are, only at the park is so real, is like someone that just reveal what atittudes really have while using a mask, because it is affraid of judgment and consequences. The dialogues about artificial intelligence are magnificent, the hosts saying that if you can't tell the diference between what is real and what isn't, is great and puts you in thinking mode. The whole philophy about the hosts having feelings, saying that memories is what construct the character of the persons, and if the memories of the host are planted, it still just like the normal humans, just remembrance.

    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!

    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.
