Its a scenario thats been visualized a thousand ways…

But the scenario has rarely been developed with the sophistication and ingenuity on display in HBOs upcoming seriesWestworld….

The series doesnt merely present androids as protagonists or victims.

The Guardian: … for those of us who just like story lots and lots of story!

Westworldwill hit the spot as hard asGoTever did.

The choice is not always clear.

And its beautiful to watch.

What horrors has humankind wreaked with a mass devotion to perfection, personal satisfaction and entertainment?

At times terrifying bleak and cynical,Westworldis lugubrious.
