ACTORS

Recently, we often see stars A-list in TV shows. And for the "Westworld" there was no exception. Titan Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood, Thandie Newton and others.

Looking through the composition of the cast, it makes no sense to talk about the actor's game. Well, Anthony Hopkins is a separate conversation theme. Long life, Sir Philip Anthony Hopkins.

Such a strong team of producers, writers and actors could not but create a quality and excellent product.

PLOT

Future. People pay a lot of money to have fun on the weekend in an amusement park, where androids are playing the role of toys. Many visitors do not go further bars and prostitutes, but for those who wish anything more interesting there are several plots with games. In the park, people are allowed to do what they want.

The park allows you to release your inner beast: kill, rape, engage in various perversions. And as soon as the doors of the park are closed behind the visitors, they again become the respectable citizens. Androids are repaired, erased the memory and again released to workplaces.

My conclusion

This TV series is very different from the subjects with a similar theme. People are shown on their bad side. Androids can not fight back, which puts more pressure on the feeling of pity.

Many storylines are not closed, the season was closed by a neat cliffhanger. According to reports from the creators of the show, they spent the first season on revealing the characters, and the main "action" will have to the second.

The series is definitely worth watching, without being distracted by anything and being extremely attentive. The director and scriptwriters flirt with us, showing an endless Groundhog Day so that after 2-3 episodes you begin to get confused in the time line. And there are several of them. You have no any idea what's going on. Yes, yes, that is amazing.

The quality of TV series grows every year. They are no different from the films, and in some cases exceed them. Especially increasing budgets allow the series to please us with high-quality special effects, and the duration is more interesting to reveal the topic. And the subject is topical - artificial intelligence and its influence on the future of mankind. From time to time, articles / movies flash with stories, where robots conquer the planet. And indeed, it is not the aliens, but the androids that may possibly enslave humanity.

Many compare Westworld with Lost in the number of secrets and mysteries. On sites and forums people build numerous theories and try to explain what is happening.

The main question that everyone asks himself is whether the androids have a mind and a soul, or are they programmed? What is the human consciousness? Will Androids become full members of society? Is it necessary to provide them with the same rights that a person has?

In general, this is a very high-quality fantasy. Perfectly selected music, beautiful landscapes, strong cast, incredible plot - all this will make you fall in love with the TV series for a long time. And most likely after the end of the Game of Thrones, it is the "Westworld" that we will wait for each year.
