Rol yapma oyunlarını çok seven bir oyuncuysanız ve bundan da fazla olarak felsefeye düşkünseniz; kesinlikle izlemeniz gereken bir dizi. İlk sezonu az önce bitirdim ve harika hissettim. Her şey öyle güzel ve kusursuz ki, ikinci sezona başlıyorum. Senarist yönetmen vs değişmediyse aynı mutluluğu yaşayacağımı düşünmekten çok heyecanlanıyorum.
Whether you’re intrigued by the characters, you’re still likely to be sucked in by the series’ mythology, a seemingly impossible puzzle that Ed Harris’ ice-cold gunslinger is dangerously determined to solve. ... In the nimble hands of the series’ creators, the disaster for which things are headed is guaranteed to be one of the beautiful variety.
Jonathan Nolan, working with his wife, Lisa Joy, under the umbrella of J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions, has turned out a dazzling-looking thriller that is also a thoughtful exploration of the possibilities and hazards of artificial intelligence.
Westworld looks terrific; its directors have shot its Western locations to stunning effect. But its warmly saturated outdoor scenes and its surface slickness aren’t enough to mask the indecision, condescension, and hollowness at its core.
Westworld is one of my favorite TV shows because it's unique and the artificial intelligence subject is very fascinating. This is a smart and interesting show that requires you to pay attention. It's complex and intricate. Fantastic writing with plenty of twists. There is foreshadowing, there is symbolism, it's a highly visual show. I was never bored watching it.
Very strong performances from the actors across the board, especially from Anthony Hopkins, Thandie Newton and Evan Rachel Wood. There were moments in this show that blew my goddamn mind. Some people might be turned off by the amount of violence and sex, but it's an excellent series. Definitely worth watching.
Incredibly written, acted and filmed, with way way too much ****.
First, let’s get it out of the way that it does have some incredible acting (thank you Anthony Hopkins, Thandie Newton, Evan Rachel Wood, Ed Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Jimmi Simpson, and I could just keep going). I think the acting is far superior to anything else HBO does, such as Game of Thrones, or their other properties.
The story itself has plenty of twists, several of which I didn’t catch until after they occurred. Of course Western’s are a favorite of mine so it hit that niche very well. The whole theme of the hosts finding consciousness is an excellent story.
Now let’s talk about the negatives, and I find several things I don’t like.
The constant ****. The story is about consent and I get that **** is the easiest thing to reach for. However, it is constant, overdone and definitely a low point. There are better ways to get the story of consent. I could even go with a couple of incidents, but this really was the weak part of their writing.
The grim dark, dark grim, grim of the grimmest of darkness storylines. It is well written, but the story rips apart every single positive. I would argue it is worse than Game of Thrones on this as well. I love a serious, gritty storyline, but you have to have positive moments that aren’t made invalid by future scenes. Otherwise the story isn’t balanced.
Also, didn’t like how abrupt the story ended for the first season, although I recommend people watch it through the credits to see Armistice.
Pros: Good acting, story and effects and the setting is of course awesome.
Cons: Too much **** and gritty dark dark gritty darksome..
I haven’t decided if I will watch season 2.
Although the production values here are high, the series has too many subplots and lacks an overall focus. I kept wishing it would get to the point, but I guess the reason it doesn't is so it can go on for many seasons. I hope I make it through Season 1.
Wetsworld é uma série que vale a pena assistir pela reconstituição de época e pela premissa que é muito interessante, no entanto, a maior parte da série se resumi em: Peitos, bunda, pelos pubianos, pau mole, sangue e tiro, tudo isso, amarrado num enredo lento, que depois se torna confuso e fecha com chave de merda, mostrando o pior plot twist da história da minha vida.
Plot holes at almost every corner. The scenic vistas are vast but the script is constrained and limited. Stunning performance by Hopkins and Harris are the only redeeming features of this show. The truly annoying thing is how obvious the producers are attempting to apply the GoT formula of nudity, violence and narrative turnover.
