I’ve now finished the second disc of the first season, and I think writing an article for each disc is a good rhythm for Westworld. The series is very dense and covers an incredible number of topics, especially regarding artificial intelligence and artificial consciousness. Yes, artificial intelligence and artificial consciousness are two entirely different things… — read more

Mindhunter is a series with an extremely tragic outcome, as it’s one of the first series that Netflix simply cut off without a proper ending. The situation went so far that even one of the leading directors, David Fincher, was unsure for a long time whether it would continue or not. The series is based… — read more

The separation of Samar and Aram was, as is often the case with such series, extremely odd! Why does it always have to end so strangely? They could have let it continue and Samar is just mentioned occasionally, but not shown anymore. However, I find it good that they didn’t kill her off, as is… — read more

Once again there have been some new additions to my collection, and it no longer feels too strange to call it a collection, as a lot of things are coming together. Sure, even a little makes a collection, but I still think there has to be an undefined size to call something a collection. And… — read more

I’ve now finished the first three episodes (one disc, as I’m watching the whole thing on DVD) and I’ve totally forgotten how good this series is. What you notice immediately is the pacing, because even if you already know what it’s about, the build-up is relatively slow and takes its time. You’re meant to understand… — read more

As Liz stands at Tom’s grave and he appears again, I must confess that it was somehow quite nice to see him once more. I don’t know, he seemed changed and more mature, I can’t think of a more fitting word. ‘Settled’ might also fit, but maybe it was because the actor had gained some… — read more

What I have to say about Westworld or how I find the series is not quite simple, because somehow it would simultaneously imply that other sci-fi series are not particularly good, which I absolutely do not mean to say. But let’s give it a try. Westworld in its series form, thereby excluding the 1973 film,… — read more

Tom was completely absent in the last third of the fourth season, as he was searching for his parents or relatives. Now we’re presented with him in a rather meaningless cliffhanger. He practically receives the suitcase from Mr. Kaplan, which is initially treated similarly to the suitcase in Pulp Fiction (1994), but it quickly turns… — read more

Of course, it wasn’t planned for Liz to come back like this, but I can certainly understand Samar’s disappointment. There’s constant talk of witness protection programs, going underground, etc., but here they resort to methods that are not only morally reprehensible but also only serve the dramaturgy to a limited extent. It could have come… — read more

Even though it’s a heavy cliffhanger at the end of the third season, it’s somehow a bit without impact. We know that the series can’t continue without Liz, so there must be something else going on. And yes, I know how strangely detached I might sound right now, I’m well aware of that. It might… — read more
