On Westworld, the pleasure of wandering its enormous spaces in search of quests is a backdrop for deeper, less goal-oriented explorations that swap philosophy in under the guise of gamification. This makes it a great TV show and a frustrating game. Go to Full Review Brandon Katz Observer 05/21/2018
The episode deftly exemplified how our similarities (and differences) can build empathy and lay the groundwork for connections and introspection. Go to Full Review Rebecca Hawkes Daily Telegraph (UK) 05/21/2018
