The first season of Westworld, a made for TV 10 episode series that aired on HBO in 2016. It begins the franchise by building on the characters in this dark future AI Wild West amusement park world where there are no consequences for criminal actions for those who are willing to pay to play out their fantasies, since the victims are all robots. But what if these lifelike androids don't want to be the victims anymore? That is the premise of the ongoing plot, which is what made the 1973 movie and its sequel (1976) popular. This First season was highly acclaimed by both the critics and the fans, which produced another season to be aired in 2018. A must for sci-fi western fans.

I enjoyed this season. An interesting mix of futuristic technology intertwined with wild west vibes. The development of the characters and layering of the story added depth to the overall theme of season 1. Intrigued to see how the story continues in season 2. Cool methods of acting from some of the cast that lend to the immersiveness of the west world environment. If you like futuristic shows and AI you will likely enjoy this. A different means of defining life in this one than from other similar movies/shows.

HBO has done a great job updating Westworld for a modern audience. In this series, we see humanity's heroism and cruelty on full display, sometimes within the same character. The cast is spectacular. The story is engrossing. Westworld is worth watching again, especially since the robots (hosts) don't age, so the audience may not realize that there are multiple timeframes being told simultaneously until it is revealed near the end. It's a fun blending of Sci-Fi and western, and sex, violence, and philosophy.

Great HBO series. The acting from the star studded cast is amazing. Also the sets are amazing with the western theme in season 1 to the Japanese theme in Season 2. A mix of great story telling and rawness reminds me when I first watched Sopranos or Deadwood. Highly recommend. I watched the first 2 seasons on-demand through HBO, but ordered the discs to rewatch after my HBO trial runs out.
