The TV industry is booming right now, mostly thanks to online streaming services like Netflix and Amazon. We have, in truth, more good TV shows than we have time to watch them.

Though it's expensive, HBO is killing it right now. The hopeful director/writer in me is in awe about the acclaimed "Game of Thrones" but another show on HBO, "Westworld" has potential to be just as big a hit.

For those who have never heard of the show, it centers around a theme park populated by androids that simulates the Wild West. Whilst in the park, the patrons can live out their violent and sexual fantasies at the expense of the androids that supposedly feel none of it. The plot follows the perspectives of the park executives, some visitors and even the androids themselves.

The show is a must-see. Here's why:

It's chock-full of mystery.

We don't know a lot about the narrative thanks to the slow reveals each episode. We learn a little more every time about the founding of the park, Westworld. The show is based off of a movie of the same name, written by "Jurassic Park" author, Michael Crichton. (The guy must have something against theme parks).

There are characters with motives we do not fully understand, including The Man In Black, portrayed by Ed Harris. All we know is that he has been attending the park for many years, and knows that there are multiple levels to the park unknown to the patrons (and to the audience watching the show).

These mysteries are solved, but slowly, making the show something you clamor for week-in, week-out.

It says something scary about humans.

The show is all about what humans would do if they could do it without punishment. It's terrifying how far the patrons go. The androids, or "hosts," follow a script that resets every day, with any alterations that the creators program for them, so they do not remember the atrocities that happen to them (although there's evidence of that changing).

With this mentality, the guests who visit the park feel guiltless as they murder and sometimes even rape the hosts. It poses the philosophical question about whether it is acceptable to act in such a violent manner just because we assume that the victim is more object than person. The show does a fantastic job of humanizing the androids to show that in the creators' attempts to simulate pure consciousness, they have given the hosts the ability to truly feel pain.

It makes us question which creatures deserve autonomy.

This is going to be a point of contention in the near future, I wager, since computers in the real world are becoming more and more sentient. Will it still be okay to punish a machine when it is sentient? Or will they become what we consider to be "people?"

Animal rights have been long debated because it cannot be decided if they're "people" or not. This show, in a similar manner, humanizes the hosts by showing vulnerabilities and wills of their own.

[SPOILER ALERT]: At the end of the first episode, the main character, Delores, is warned by her father that their creators are evil. This was not part of the android's script, but his duty as a father was programmed so heavily into him that he developed his own method of protection.

This is heavy foreshadowing for the conflict to come later in the season, but it also shows us what can happen if we advance too far in our attempts to create consciousness. We might succeed and we are not ready for that.

It is cinematically crispy.

The show visually looks gorgeous. There is a perfect blend of CGI and practical effects, and everything we've seen so far looks hyper-real. Even settings in the lab that don't seem possible with modern technology feel natural.

The writing is resonant, esoteric poetry that constantly, almost line-by-line, makes us question our actions and our reality. It is delivered hauntingly by the cast, especially Anthony Hopkins, who creeps us out almost as much as he did playing Hannibal Lecter.

If the title sequence doesn't get you hooked, then perhaps you should analyze if you yourself are an android.

So, when you are searching for some good TV to watch, you do have a lot of options but I'd recommend jumping on this bandwagon before it is binged by everyone in the coming years.
