Review of Westworld

Westworld (2016–2022)
10/10
This pulls Science Fiction up onto the plateau of True Fiction
22 March 2020
I am still watching Season 2 at the moment...but to call this 'Science Fiction' belittles its power.

If you are even THINKING about watching the old Movie based on the Micheal Creighton book-- Don't Bother. This left that old clunker beyond lightyears ago.

For me as a deep Science Fiction Reader, although I've read through the Production credits and did not see the name-- the writing and the acting in this series thrums the influence of 'Robert Silverberg' to me.

What does it mean to be Human? What is your responsibility for having a Soul?

The exploration of the depths of human feelings, Good, Bad & Indifferent intensifies with every episode.

My most favorite episode: 'Kiksuya'

Now it's telling a heart-wrenching story WITHIN the Story from the side of the android host. And it does it with the soft syllables of the Native American tongue.

And I had to cry...

This is Acting, Writing and Story-Telling of unparalleled quality.
