Personally I found the recent season of Humans a lot more interesting than Westworld, which (to my taste) tried too hard to be philosophical, while Humans managed to tell a similar philosophy more subtly without being on-the-nose.
But we're all critics, so YMMV.
- BEEdwards 10y agoI totally agree with you in a philosophical sense, but in a which show I'd rather watch sense I pick westworld. Humans seems smarter about a similar subject matter, but westworld is just so much fun. Fortunately there is no conflict and I can watch both!
- johnohara 10y agoI tried watching season 1 of Humans but was jaded by first watching Akta Manniskor (Real Humans), the Swedish series it is based upon. It seems that sometimes a lower production budget yields a better story. Forced to rely instead on the viewer's imagination and subject interest. Especially if it's done with aplomb and intelligence. I found the dialogue in Humans to be too "explanatory." Haven't seen a full episode of Westworld yet, but imagine the same is true. Big budgets tend to to that.
- akvadrako 10y agoI haven't seen the US Humans but did enjoy the original and found Westworld to be even better in the subtleness category. It's probably due in part to being an original and even higher production values, so you get actual good writers. Maybe also a higher-brow target audience.
