Movies are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get. There are times when you’ll walk into what ends up being a masterpiece of cinema.

The 1990s gifted us withiconic blockbustersand cemented the careers of stars and directors. But for every success likeTitanic, there are probably dozens of films that failed to connect with audiences and flopped.

It’s a rare feat when a television series can capture its audience’s imagination so consummately (and for some of us, compulsively) asWestworldhas. We’re rapt in the story that’s unfolding and the history that precedes it, and the lines between the two have never been exactly clear in the hit show....
