As the story begins, top programmer Bernard Lowe (Jeffrey Wright) alerts park founder Doctor Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins) about incidents of aberrant behavior cropping up in some recently re-coded hosts. The rest of the large cast includes Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood, James Marsden, Thandie Newton, Tessa Thompson, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Jimmi Simpson, Rodrigo Santoro, Shannon Woodward, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, Ben Barnes, Simon Quarterman, Angela Sarafyan, Luke Hemsworth and Clifton Collins, Jr.

What do you think? Do you like the Westworld TV series on HBO? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
If not one of the most over hyped programing in modern times. They took a year off and still people still hypering active over this. If its floads your boat. But not everyone likes this show. As for the most ever watch show across many platforms..well again hype is reasoning . I can careless one way etc. Its not as good as people are barking about. People standards are lower these days then years ago. sad
After that amazing finale how could HBO not renew? Show is just getting started!
Please please make another series, such a well worked out programme, least to say one of the best out there, Anthony Hopkins is just so good at playing a mellow bad ass, and I for one have been kept on my toes, more than the walking dead, don’t cancel something that is so good to watch. I don’t for one moment believe that Anthony Hopkins was shot, I believe it was his robot form. Look forward to seeing this again this year, noooooo cancellation.
Keep this going!
Love Westworld
millions of flies can’t be wrong
“With an average of 12 million viewers across all platforms, Westworld now ranks as the most-watched first season of an HBO original series ever.”
Broke all the records! Nice!
yes, yes, yes – excellent!
Excellent writing with the outstanding cast and direction is the embodiment of what great television is about. This show will go on to win an epic amount of awards regardless of what anyone here thinks about it. I have been longing for a show like this for some time. Its sci-fi wrapped in a love story taking place in the wild west. The premise of consciousnesses and what defines what it is to be alive is what will keep the story moving along.
This show should definitely be RENEWED for many years, I hope. It’s one of my favorite shows on TV. What an innovative idea. I love it.
Renewed Please! I’ve had HBO for many years and keep it because of their great original programming. Let’s see all 5 seasons or time to drop HBO.
Better and better as it goes on ! If you don’t watch, you’re really missing a great serie with a quality to it that is rare. Great actors and actresses acting their best. Modern with an intelligent story and twists that will keep you guessing and wanting more. Love it ! Please Westworld be renewed for a second season and more !
BRILLIANT! We are so hooked. The acting, especially Anthony Hopkins is superb. Everything you could possibly want in a television series!!!!
Westworld is awesome ! Definitely don’t miss an episode because there’s so many twists and turns but they’re all great. I will definitely watch any future seasons.
