WESTWORLD S2

Both thoughtful and brutal, the sci-fi western’s second season charts the fallout from the android insurrection led by Evan Rachel Wood’s avenging angel Dolores. Blending existential musings and chronological jumps with even more grisly violence, it grips throughout, though the pace slackens as it sets up the twisty finale. Once the show belatedly tips its hand, you’ll be itching for Season 3; in the meantime, you won’t be able to look at videogame Red Dead Redemption 2 in quite the same way again… Chris Schilling
