Loosely based on Michael Crichton's 1973 film of the same name, Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan's visceral, labyrinthinely plotted Westworld is a hugely entertaining existential sci-fi western series, featuring masterly multi-layered storytelling, excellent effects work, and memorable performances (particularly from Thandie Newton and Ed Harris).

"Inspired by the 1973 motion picture of the same name, Westworld is a one-hour drama series about a futuristic theme park populated by artificial beings. This dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin is set at the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past. It explores a world in which every human appetite, no matter how noble or depraved, can be indulged." Warner Bros.
