Westworld
These violent delights have violent ends.
Created by Jonathan Nolan, Lisa Joy
On HBO
A cerebral, visually ambitious science-fiction tragedy that interrogates consciousness, morality, and the nature of sin through the lens of artificial beings in a theme park designed to fulfill human depravity.
A dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin. 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.
