I initially watched
the first and only season
of HBO's Westworld
last spring
but recently revisited
a handful of episodes.
Am I more woke now?
Yes, yes I am.
Like a sci-fi western
version of Ex Machina
on HBO's special steroids,
the ten part season
is existential,
philosophical, poetic,
and bloody as hell.
It will be interesting
to see if season two
(expected this spring)
continues down an interesting
route, or falls tragically
like The Walking Dead
and True Detective
and other violent shows
that have incredible first seasons
with shit follow-ups.
Shout-out Michael Crichton
for writing and directing
and releasing the original
Westworld film in 1973.
Do you homework
and you'll see that Futureworld
(the sequel) was released
in 1976, with a television
series Beyond Westworld
released in 1980.

Many of my favorite shows ended this year, while a few new ones were added to the rotation.
I don’t own a television, but I have some apps.
