Nuking Paris and moving the action to Singapore was one of the most blatant "hey asian markets, western culture was yesterday, we want to say hi on behalf of our TV shows" I've seen. HBO has done a bunch of those kinda scenes, Netflix is doing some as well. > When the producers of HBO’s “Westworld” wanted to portray the American city of the future, they didn’t film in Seattle or Los Angeles or Austin — they went to Singapore. We should have gleaming skyscrapers and spectacular living environments in all our best cities at levels way beyond what we have now; where are they? I've definitely noticed more and more of this in other shows. It's not at all a bad thing, just the opposite: it shows there's big money to be made over there.
