Watched the first one last night and I'm hooked already.

Just the scenery is pretty epic.

Establishing that the androids have a community built around each other was interesting to begin with, they are not just randomly running around.

I won't going into too much detail as I don't want to ruin anything for anyone.

Can't wait for the next one.
 
You can see the series cost 100 million.

My only concern is they won't wrap up the storyline, like Lost so they can drag it out into more seasons.

Hbo has a history of just ending shows when they're not getting the viewers they want. I don't believe they'll drag it out....but totally likely they won't wrap it up either way
 
So is there a way for humans to tell one another apart from the robots?

I did laugh as the interruption to the speech part.
 
I'm not sold, but will watch at least the next episode. A bit too odd for me so far (and I like 'different' in a show).

Never was a fan of Evan Rachel Wood....until now. :hearteyes:
 
It's definitely an interesting show, but I think the first episode had a striking lack of pull. I'm just mentally going back and looking at the first episode of Game of Thrones where it ends with you discovering the dirty secret of the incest twins and them attempting to murder a kid that found out. It's one of those "oh, shit..." moments. This just kind of... ended. The only thing you really have is... "What's going to happen with the robots?" and "What is the man in black doing?"

Although, speaking of the Man in Black,
how did he kidnap a robot and no one notice that it was missing? They seemed to notice everything else in the episode except for that.
 
I thought the show did a great job at pulling us in with multiple distinct story lines...
You have Dolores who is no long bound by their rules, the man in black who is seemingly independent and always in the park (or at least he isn't on the train that we see), the doctor (Hopkins) who appears to have some plan to make the robots more and more human. Then you have conflicts between the humans in charge and they make it clear the company has some type of underlying plan behind the park
.

I'm looking forward to see where it goes from here.
 
Watched this morning -- loved it. (though, admittedly, I have found memories of watching the 1973 classic on ABC's Saturday afternoon movies with my dad)

The acting is superb though I'm not overly found of the actress playing Dolores. Something just doesn't "fit" for me with her. Absolutley LOVE Jeffrey Wright and of course Hopkins.
I thought the opening episode was solid and there was a "pull" at the end -- she swatted the fly. After numerous mentions that they never hurt a living thing, she did. She's off the rails. My only gripe (and I'm predicting here) is that they just flipped the tables and the man in black (Ed Harris) is going to end up being a "good guy" of some nature -- whereas Yul Brynner's man in black was the bad guy. Oh, and he appears to have been flipped from a "host" to a "guest"

Anyways, I've been looking forward to this show since it's initial rumors and it didn't disappoint. Hopefully there are Medieval and Roman worlds too?

Note as well that Ed Harris has been coming to the park for "30 years" and Wright's character mentions that "there hasn't been a critical failure at the park in 30 years". Safe to assume these events line up.

And what if the event before is a reference to the the original movie?

With a robot taking a life...
Remember how the scientist casually states about a droid that it " ..literally can't hurt a fly " ?
That's one of those "oh, shit..." moments.

Yeap -- somebody missed it.

Nah, I saw her do that, but I didn't really think that it was a big draw. I think the reason is that the robots changing is something that I expect to happen (based upon the original movie), so when I see evidence to back that up, it's not exactly something that draws me in.

To be clear, I'm still going to watch more, but I don't have that same sort of "must tune in next week!" attitude.

The problem is we don't know if it's his storyline that he paid for or he has somehow made his actions hidden.

Plus they talked about being another reason for the place they created so this is it I guess.

I am liking it so far but I hope they don't just go with a AI goes rogue story. I hope it is much deeper and something about humans being the true reason and flawed.

As for the Man in black, they don't care what the tourists do to them. It is all part of some rich fantasy where they can rape and kill and whatnot.
