What is Westworld about?
Westworld is based on the 1973-film of the same name. Adopting the themes and setting of the movie while expanding and deepening the premise.
Westworld initially takes place in a fictional theme park, which recreates the wonder of the Wild West. Visitors can pay to experience this recreation and even interact with lifelike AI designed to replicate the appearance and behaviours of those who lived in the lawless west.
When the AI start developing sentience, however, they soon decide they no longer wish to be used as humanity’s plaything, leading to a series of revelations, betrayals and moral quandaries that have shocked and intrigued the fanbase in equal measure. Upon first airing, the show earned immediate praise, quickly developing a reputation for mature and thought-provoking storytelling.
With a unique concept, fascinating characters and an immersive world, Westworld has continued to impress with each new season. Not surprisingly, the series has been nominated for and received numerous awards, including a Critics’ Choice Television Award for Most Exciting New Series and a number of Prime Time Emmy awards.

How to watch Westworld anywhere in the world: use a good VPN service
Thanks to the abundance of different streaming services, you can watch Westworld in most countries around the world. However, some streaming websites geo-block content, meaning you can’t access shows, like Westworld, when you’re travelling outside the country.
To get over this hurdle, you need to use a VPN. This will not only shield all your browsing traffic – meaning no one (neither your ISP nor any trackers) will be able to know what you’re doing online – but also allow you to spoof your PC’s location, so you can virtually browse from anywhere in the world that you want. We’ve listed the best VPN services below. Simply choose the one you want, change your location to the country you live in and stream Westworld as if you were watching from your sofa at home.
