Storyline
As another day of fantasy plays out in Westworld - a vast, remote park where guests pay top dollar to share wild-west adventures with android "hosts" - top programmer Bernard Lowe alerts park founder Dr. Robert Ford about incidents of aberrant behavior cropping up in some recently re-coded hosts. Meanwhile, in the Westworld town of Sweetwater, a rancher's daughter named Dolores encounters a gunslinger named Teddy in the street - but their predictable narrative is upended by the appearance of a ruthless Man in Black and, later, by a supporting host's unscripted encounter with an artifact of the outside world.

Dolores Abernathy: [In Western accent] Yes. I'm sorry. I'm... not feelin' quite myself.
Bernard Lowe: You can lose the accent. Do you know where you are?

When the Man in Black shot Teddy and started dragging Dolores to the barn, the camera catches close up of Teddy's pupil. Teddy's pupil showed the reflection of the Man in Black dragging Dolores and closing the barn door. However, this reflection is not left-right flipped image of the view while it should have been if it were true reflection. See more »Quotes

Meanwhile the host Peter Abernathy acts strange after finding a photo taken outside Westworld.

"Westworld" is a promising series based on the 1973 "Westworld" by Michael Crichton. The storyline is interesting, showing androids with feelings and the backstage of the amusement park, with manager, programmers and the creator performed by Anthony Hopkins. My vote is eight.
