Like Damon Lindelof's Watchmen on HBO, Devs grapples with the notion that Time is immutable Everything that is going to happen was already predetermined Free will might not exist Once again, Alan Moore, who explored this idea in the original Watchmen comic back in 1986, was ahead of the curve all along Lindelof and Garland,[...]

Because HBO's pretty much burned to the ground by now. This week's episode is a cerebral journey through the near-future and an exploration of self as several characters seek the answer to the question, "Who am I?".

HBO's Westworld season 3 is the Cyberpunk thriller I had in my head when I was a kid, finally brought into reality. This is supposed to be future Los Angeles?
