For a HBO series there actually wasn't much sex. Most graphic part was the chap having his face blown off.
Thoroughly enjoyed the episode and will be watching next week, how many episodes in the series? Do we think Hopkins will stick around or will his character be killed off at the end of season 1? ![]() TBH it will probably depend on what his role is in the glitches. He seems to be the instigator of whatever is happening to make the bots more sentient. |

There are ten episodes.
IMDb have put it at the top of the sixteen series & movies they are most excited about this month. http://imdb.com/rg/an_share/title/title/tt0475784/ |

Depends how much they are paying him. If it is a lot, he'll be gone early, and if not a lot then he'll be around a while.

I think Sidse Babett Knudsen's character will organise some sort of boardroom to try and overthrow him with the help of the British guy

Is it meant to be an ongoing series - or just the ten episodes and then done? I struggle to see how they'll be able to string it out much beyond one series. The original was a little classic in my opinion, telling a good story and building up to a climax, where the robots rebelled and killed the humans. But they can't do that every weak on the show. Once it happens (at the end of series one perhaps) the park will be shut down and that will be that. How do you go on from there?

How far behind is the UK pace from the US pace? I thought the show was more like TWD with 12 (or 24) hrs difference, yet there's two threads with different paces?

I loved the opening titles at the start

Too arty!!
Was expecting Hopkins to be killed of at the end, it would have made for a better first episode - as it was, it just plodded along, (bored with the hosts own little stories) just giving you another to want to watch next week. I'm sure that basement is going to kick off soon. And that nose drill.

I'm not sure where everyone (at least in the press) is saying this is as good as Game of Thrones. I have to say that the pacing was really, really slow and I can watch things at a slow pace if I feel it is going somewhere. There was far too much set up or at least the set up was done in a very "paint by numbers" pace.
Saying that, the last ten minutes really started to pique my interest. I'm going to see how it goes, but right now it isn't a "must see" for me unlike Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead. (Also, I know that it is based on the 70's film, but I can't help feel as if I have seen something like this before. Just not in a Western Theme park setting) |

This is a forty year old sci-fi cult classic that really does not need a television series, Yul Brynner was superb and was eerily robot-like in every movement.
But on the evidence of episode 1, this is bloody fantastic. Great acting, intriguing very well written plot, and they've clearly thrown a truck load of cash at production. So far, it doesn't tread on the toes of the movie, just explores more of the intriguing, unanswered questions, and adds a few new ones. Top quality TV. |

Ed's character is human! He commented on the robots' behaviour and stated that he was paying a lot of money for this...

I think deliberately try to confuse us about who was human or robot was over done. Teddy on the train was ok but when that gang rode into town and started shooting everything up, at first I thought it was trigger happy guests. But no they were robots.
Then they all stood there around the map, waiting for it to start, so we knew they were robots. |

I'm surprised you class The Walking Dead as must see...as that for me as a show is so inconsistent, sometimes it's really good and grabs your attention, then the following week it can be the worst thing ever shown...you can miss a number of episodes and still feel like you haven't missed anything.
As I said I am going to give Westworld a shot. It is only the first episode.
