15 Best Sci-Fi TV Shows Of The 21st Century
10. Westworld
Adapted from the novel of the same name by Jurassic Park author/ sci-fi genius Michael Crichton, HBO’s Westworld had some obscure shoes to fill when it debuted a few years ago.
The dark, extremely adult series was set to be the sci-fi Game of
Thrones according to its advertising and the size of its budget, but the story
of a theme park inhabited by robots beginning to gain sentience and rebel
against their abusers was stranger and trippier than the earlier 1973 film
adaptation of the novel starring Yul Brynner.
Featuring an ensemble cast including a hammy Anthony Hopkins and a faultless Evan Rachel Wood, this one is must-see viewing for anyone interested in the morality of technology’s endless march—and for pulpy sci-fi fans, too.
