Westworld (2016–2022)
9/10
the most thorough treatment of AI
27 December 2020
Beautifully shot, masterfully written, and deep in its reflections - this series is the most thorough treatment of the possibilities and problems of artificial intelligence I have ever seen.

Season 1: robots gaining self-awareness
  • questions: what makes someone human?
  • themes: the nature of stories and narratives


Season 2: robots revolting in robot world made by humans
  • questions: how do you know if you yourself are a machine?
  • themes: memories and impressions too deep to ever really forget.


Season 3: Robots entering human world deciding what to do with humans
  • questions: what if the data we give to machines is used against us or to determine our fates? What is private what is to be public.
  • themes: The nature and motives of choice, fate vs. choice, alteration of memories
