Looking for a new show to watch? This should fit the bill… if you can stomach it.
With a star-studded cast and JJ Abrams amongst the production team, HBO’s Westwood looks like it might be the show we’re all talking about in the very near future.
Ed Harris, Thandie Newton, Ben Barnes and Anthony Hopkins are just some of the stars featuring in a series that explores life in a futuristic theme park populated by artificial beings, which is based on a 1973 Michael Crichton thriller of the same name.
Crichton was part of the writing staff for the new series and, incidentally, for all you Simpsons buffs out there, it formed the inspiration for the Itchy and Scratchy land theme park in a classic episode.

The trailer for the new series suggests that you might not want to watch it alone; it’s coming to HBO in October.
