Hello Steemians,
Today, I am writing about a Tv Show that marked this last year: WestWorld.
source WestWorld
It made the buzz for many reasons one of the first being its incredible casting, many superstars playing role in a TV Show. This is really up to what is turning today’s show: you cast a superstar or two or three and you make the buzz.
As for me I really enjoyed this season, which is the first one of a long long series I hope!
Well to explain you a little bit what it is all about, let me say to you what WestWorld is.
Imagine WestWorld, a thematic amusement park of last generation. In there, visitors pay a fortune to live again the chill of the west conquest. Dolores, Teddy and many many others are androids with human appearance, well, they really are creepy, just hoping this day won’t ever come :)
Well these androids are made to create a big illusion and to offer tourists incredible journey. It is a place where everything, not almost everything, but literally everything is possible and where they can free their mind to realize all of their fantasy, from sex to murder. But this whole universe is put in danger when, after an update, a few robots began to take abnormal behaviors, totally unpredictable and erratic.
On the center of control, far away (not that far you’ll see) the whole control team of the park is pulling the strings of this alternative world, but are worried of the more and more frequent fails of the system.
The stake of WestWorld are gigantic, and the board of directors could not allow a bad publicity for the park which would make the client run away.
Concerning the reason why the androids are turning bad, is up to you to discover and watch throughout this first season of the show.
Technically, the realization of the show is PERFECT, sorry P.E.R.F.E.C.T. Really nothing to say about that, it goes back and forth from reality to fiction back to reality, you’ll even get lost most of the time, but THAT is why this show is incredible. We had a lot of series that were promised to a bright future, but dive into incognito’s world. I don’t think this will happen with WestWorld, it has everything, actors, script, plot, story, game of actors, suspense, crime, sex, well many other could not name them all…
Let’s review some actors and their respective roles, but I will just enumerate a few most famous, trust me they are all good in there!
Anthony Hopkins, alias Robert Ford, do I seriously have to present him?

Well As said, nothing much to say about this big big big man of the movie industry. An incredible actor, who played in a huge amount of movies.
Of course the main role he will be all his life recognize for is Hannibal Lecter in « the silence of the lamb »
In WestWorld, he plays the role of the director, well one of the two persons who founded the amusement park, and who still have a big role in the park, but overwhelmed by his board of director. Well when money comes into stake, much founders lose their main role in the company, and that what happens to him. He is still the director, but board of trustee want more money for the park than improvement…. But be aware of the old man, he knows all there is to know about the park ;)
Ed Harris, AKA the man in black

Same as Anthony, no need for presentation here, he is the man too! Many movies. I personally loved him in « Pollock », « The hours » or « The Truman show ». But that is just the tip of the iceberg, but let’s talk about his role in WestWorld.
Well you will soon know in the story that is one of the majority shareholder of WestWorld, but remain in the fiction where he adventured himself in a quest all through the season. He is the sadistic veteran of the park’s host, you will probably hate him for a long time!
Evan Rachel Wood, alias Dolores Abernathy

The ray of sun of the series, always with a perfect smile, perfect eyes, perfect everything… Well after all she is a robot :)
She plays beautifully the role of the oldest host still in operation in the park. She is one of the android who malfunction, realizing day after day, minutes after minutes that her entire life is a constructed lie, the beginning of a lot of trouble.
Thandie Newton, aka the professional and owner of the saloon

Well one of my favorite if not my favorite actress of the show, she is beautiful, play the line in an impeccable manner, I love her. She, like Dolores, is one of the host discovering minutes after minutes of the show, that her life is just a lie. And she goes the hard way to make it change.
Jeffrey Wright, aka Bernard Lowe

He is the head of the WestWorld Programming Division and programmer of artificial people’s internal software. I can’t say much more about him because spoil is forbidden! I will let you discover his many secrets!
Well, to conclude quick and easy. I can guarantee sensations if you look at this TV Show. It is promised to a long and bright future, well it is just my guest.
You can easily go and watch it!
If you are looking for a new series and you did not watch this one, if you are not afraid of some sensitive views, I admit that. But just turn your TV on, do whatever you have to do but watch this show.
Cheers,
Mangou
