Described as 'a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the future of sin,' the series is set in a futuristic theme park called Westworld where guests interact with automatons in scenarios that are developed, overseen and scripted by the park's creative, security and quality assurance departments.
It's a star-powered, gorgeously shot philosophy class, but one that may be too stiff and ponderous for those who like their action with a little more humanity.
Like the on-screen robots, its pieces are meticulously put together, its capacity to unleash hell brimming beneath the surface. And it's beautiful to watch.
The question of whether Wood and company can make Westworld as emotionally viable as it is fascinating to watch remains to be seen. Still, try looking away.
Mixing the traditional look of the old West with the slick and glossy sci-fi world, the Ramin Djawadi (Game of Thrones) score, labyrinthine plot and magnetic performances, Westworld is impeccable television.
Lots of big ideas, lots of far-flung literary/cinematic references, and lots of violence. Yup, Westworld is a lot - but also a winner with a potentially exciting payoff.
