Westworld
When you realise you've been living the same loop for years, and you're finally ready to remember why. 🤠🔁
Who it's for
Westworld's hosts live the same scripted days, are harmed by guests and then have their memories wiped, which gives viewers a vivid metaphor for being caught in repeating patterns after trauma.

What it is
Westworld is an HBO science-fiction drama (2016–2022) created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, based on Michael Crichton's 1973 film and its sequel. It is set in and around a technologically advanced Wild West theme park populated by android 'hosts', who are programmed not to harm guests and whose memories are wiped after each storyline.
