WESTWORLD 2016 American Dystopian Science Fiction, Neo-Western Television Series Season 4 - Episode 1 The Auguries
Based on the 1973 film of the same name by Michael Crichton. The story begins in Westworld, a fictional, technologically advanced Wild-West-themed amusement park populated by android "hosts". The park caters to high-paying guests who may indulge their wildest fantasies within the park without fear of retaliation from the hosts, who are prevented by their programming from harming humans. Later on, in the third season, the series' setting expands to the real world, in the mid-21st century, where people's lives are driven and controlled by a powerful artificial intelligence named Rehoboam.
Seven years after the events of the third season, a host copy of William, acting as CEO of Delos, approaches the owner of the Hoover Dam, which now houses a large server farm that contains data he wants from eight years ago, with an offer to purchase the property. The owner refuses, to which William replies that since he doesn't want his money, he'll just have to give it to him for free. This episode concentrates on where four of the main characters have ended up and what they are doing now, William, Dolores, Maeve and Caleb. This is still a very good show which can be pretty violent in certain scenes, definitely worth a watch.
