The Original

From the beginning, the series addresses heavy-loaded philosophical questions. It raises many questions that have no definite answer and makes the watcher intrigued to follow the dialogues. What is reality? The most basic question that whoever gives himself time in contemplating the existing have thought about it. Here, he exhibits the famous duality between the "true" reality and the "illusion" reality. You can see this meaning throughout the dialogue of the "newcomers." Could we replace our reality? That reflects the purpose of this "Westworld," but is it the ultimate goal of this world?

Another philosophical question is what consciousness is? Can humankind reach the level to implant consciousness in robots? What could be the consequences of that action? The scene of Dr. Robert Ford and Peter Abernathy is a cornerstone in the building of the plot.

Also, a very debatable topic in Philosophy is whether we can program feelings? Dose the robots when they "feel" are they really experience the same experiences we humans do? Or is it a mere reflexive?

There are more questions the series do implicit to it. It would be an enjoyable experience if I could get out thinking about it and if lucky to reach satisfiable answers.

I loved the first episode, it's really promising. I loved the cast, theme and the background music as it felt so intense.

I'm looking forward to complete the Season 1.

The pilot of this series lived up-to expectations, with a nice set-up of theme park and well established characters within the theme park, who follow normal repetitive daily routine in the theme park with minor changes everyday.

The show gives viewer a perspective of normal old school western world in the beginning, only to bring out the sci-fi element swiftly in the story. At the beginning the sci-fi element seems quite normal, justifying the theme-park element of the story. But, eventually the pilot elaborated more on sci-fi element and gave audience a slight hint of self-developed instincts in some of the characters.

This show with its unique representation is going to dwell into different aspects of human behavior in conjunction with artificial intelligence. And will also elaborate on the philosophical as well as psychological outlook of human nature and its consequences.

This show got me instantly hooked on. Evan Rachel Wood is extremely beautiful and gorgeous. She acts well too. Ed Harris looks menacing . Many other characters get introduced and they act really well. The visuals are spectacular and the action sequences are brilliant. Anthony Hopkins is the icing on the cake. Brilliant show .I am loving this.

Westworld has quickly become one of HBO's breakout hits. The show's not even two years old yet and it's still attracting new viewers who probably never saw the original film from 1973. The series is a serialised take on the original movie and tells a completely different story from it, but keeps the same philosophical questions and dilemmas in place.

'The Original' shows us that Westworld is a holiday attraction that's like the world's most seamless video game experience except the whole theme park consists of robots who actually believe they're part of the American Old West. This introductory episode is a beautifully shot and bloody affair that we've come to expect from HBO, and the delivery of this episode makes me wonder about the future of the series once it's no longer running side by side with Game of Thrones. I think Westworld easily has strong legs on its own.

Another golden chapter to HBO's ever-growing library of quality programming.
