If you didn't like the (honest, IMO) portrayal of the justice system, you're gonna hate the rest of the episodes. I loved it. I can't stress enough how much I loved it.
Atlanta is great. One of the most genuinely funny TV shows I've seen in a while, but still very real. I started watching Black Mirror last night and I'm on Episode 4 out of 6 right now (well really, they're like 6 unrelated short films). Great stuff and apparently there are 6 new Netflix exclusive episodes coming out next month. Mr. Robot seems like the kind of show I'd like, but it's not on Netflix/Hulu and my laptop has crapped out and can barely play video. I miss the good old days of just being able to pirate TV shows and easily watch them at my convenience in full HD on my laptop I'm SUUUPER excited for Westworld. I think it premieres on HBO next Sunday. I've never seen the original movie but the trailers look very interesting.
Anyone else a fan of the new show on HBO called Westworld starring Anthony Hopkins?? 2 episodes in and I am beyond hooked.
I've only seen the pilot for Westworld because it was free for a day like a week ago, and I loved it. I don't have HBO though, so I'll have to see the rest of the episodes another way.
I'm enjoying it as well. Very creative concept and original idea. Can't say I'm surprised though with Christopher Nolan's brother, Jonathan Nolan as one of the creators behind the show.
I am really intrigued and I am enjoying what I've seen thus far of Westworld, but I am reserving judgment cause JJ Abrams is another one of the people behind it and I've been burned by him on shows playing the mystery card before. cough LOST cough
What has me more confident in it is that it's from a Michael Crichton story/movie initially. It doesn't have that LOST feeling to it, it has a Jurassic Park with robots instead of dinosaurs feel.
On the surface, maybe. But its way different. Its much deeper and thought provoking. I dont really look at them as robots. They are sentient and have a consciousness. They feel, have emotions like humans do. They are essential synthetic humans.
Well, yes of course, it's a much deeper and more philosophical question to ask is it ok to treat very human AI this way or to bring back dinosaurs to a world they don't belong in. My main comparison was that I could feel Crichton in the story and I love Crichton, and that you could IMO see the AI turning on the humans coming like the dinosaurs did, the AI becoming sentient when it wasn't supposed to be as the dinosaurs bred when they weren't supposed to be able to. Again, I've only seen the pilot episode, can't wait to see more.
West World just left me speechless. I never saw all of that coming. Spoiler Especially the fact that that whole storyline with William was just a flashback of the man in black. They still left some opening for a season 2 because they never revealed that Bernard was a host too. He can move around and get things done freely now. Just some incredible writing
Westworld is incredible. If it keeps up this quality for many more seasons, it will rival Game of Thrones.
