Westworld
Premiere: 2016
Produced by Jonathan Nolan and J.J. Abrams, HBO’s adaptation of the 1973 movie takes us into a futuristic amusement park where paying customers’ desires and fantasies are brought to life via robots. While the original was a straightforward thriller, this series positions itself as Ex Machina meets Truman Show, where the robots become sentient with all the theoretical and ethical issues in tow.
