Questo è il link futuro del post che vi sto invitando a leggere nei prossimi giorni su www.serialfiller.org e che qui è in anteprima
Come di consueto oggi vi porto dentro una nuova Anteprima di un articolo che fra qualche giorno o settimana vedrete Nella Mente di un SerialFiller, il mio blog interamente incentrato sul mondo delle serie tv e di cui, da qualche mese, ho deciso di regalarvi costantemente, in anticipo su quello che pubblicherò, gran parte dei post che vedrete su www.serialfiller.org.
La "base", come la chiamerebbe un sondaggista, si è ritrovata a riassaporare i fasti della prima stagione, quella che aveva strabiliato tutti e fatto gridare al nuovo capolavoro della Golden Age.
Qualcosa si è perso nella seconda e terza stagione, forse addirittura qualcosa si è rotto ma l'anima di Westworld, con pregi e difetti, è rimasta lì, nella coscienza letargica di uomini, donne e robot che la costituivano, la costruivano o, semplicemente la percepivano.
La fase centrale di Agosto, oltre a strapparci l'anima e il cuore con l'addio di Better Call Saul, ci ha consegnato la fine di quella che dovrebbe essere la penultima stagione della serie HBO.
L'emittente, infatti, non ha ancora sciolto le riserve sulla quinta stagione ma è indubbio che, con un finale cosi aperto ed incisivo rispetto ad uno sviluppo ulteriore della trama, la quinta stagione pare essere dietro l'angolo.
Era successo che Nolan e la Joy erano tornati a confezionare colpi di scena funzionali al racconto, trattando vecchi e nuovi temi con il garbo ed il dubbio che li contraddistinguono, sfruttando a pieno storyline e personaggi, attingendo a tutta la mitologia e rincarando la dose con la solita dose di azione, suspance e tecnica.
Westworld era tornata ad essere anche una serie di azione e visivamente orgasmica, ma non era più solo questo come era capitato di constatare svariate volte nelle ultime 2 stagioni.
Le riflessioni sparse sulla condizione umana, sull'ambizione aggressiva e deleteria dell'essere umano, la sua fallibilità, la sua ingordigia, la sua sete di potere ed, in generale, sulla morte, il libero arbitrio e l'esistenzialismo stesso, sono tornate prepotentemente ad essere centrali in questa stagione, grazie, soprattutto alla figura di Caleb, personaggio "umano" interpretato da Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad) sin dalla terza stagione ma che non aveva inciso come ci si aspettava nella terza annata.
Gli autori hanno caricato molto sulle sue spalle rendendolo il perfetto anello di congiunzione fra il vecchio ed il nuovo mondo, lui che con i robot aveva tessuto trame importanti atte a salvaguardare la sopravvivenza stessa dell'essere umano e che, con gli esseri umani, aveva provato a convivere nel tentativo di far digerire un nuovo equilibrio dove macchina e uomo sarebbero stati armonicamente insieme e non in una posizione di mutuo sospetto e mutuo svantaggio.
Ma poi è arrivata Charlotte Hale ed il suo test, il suo mondo nuovo.

This is the future link to the post that I am inviting you to read in the coming days at www.serialfiller.org and which is previewed here
As usual, today I am bringing you in a new Preview of an article that in a few days or weeks you will see In the Mind of a SerialFiller, my blog entirely focused on the world of TV series and of which, for the past few months, I have decided to constantly give you, in advance of what I will publish, most of the posts you will see on www.serialfiller.org.
Did you already give it up for dead?
Do you not trust HBO?
Do you not trust Nolan?
Many had celebrated, prematurely, the funeral of Westworld. HBO's high-budget, sci-fi TV series has gathered a large number of detractors over the years, people who have seen expectations plummet year after year or simply viewers who hoped to find something different in Jonhatan Nolan and Lisa Joy's TV series. I believe, however, that there are also a large number of people who have abandoned the show for a very simple reason but which, in order not to attract dislike, it would be better not to say.
I will say it, at best some people will never read this blog again with the peace of mind of everyone.
Many struggled to understand it, struggled to keep up with Nolan and so goodbye, their ship sailed, at some point, in the direction of The Paper House or Resident Evil.
The fourth season, then, arrived without much expectation or pretense, with a very small audience but consisting of loyal and curious viewers.
The "base," as a pollster would call it, found itself reveling in the glories of the first season, the one that had wowed everyone and made them cry out for the new Golden Age masterpiece.
Something was lost in the second and third seasons, perhaps even something was broken, but the soul of Westworld, with merits and flaws, remained there, in the lethargic consciousness of the men, women and robots who constituted it, built it or, simply perceived it.
The middle phase of August, besides tearing our souls and hearts out with the farewell of Better Call Saul, delivered us the end of what should be the penultimate season of the HBO series.
The broadcaster, in fact, has not yet released any reservations about the fifth season, but there is no doubt that with an ending so open and incisive with respect to further plot development, season five seems to be just around the corner.
The fourth season, as you may have sensed, was very much enjoyed. And to say that, as I had sentenced in this post of reflections about the premier of the fourth season, it had seemed to me to start off with a handbrake.
A few episodes later I had returned to talk about it, in much more enthusiastic tones and judgments, and had done so in this other article, which I invite you to read.
What had happened in the meantime to move from a conservative judgment to one devoid of all concern?
What had happened was that Nolan and Joy had returned to packing functional twists into the narrative, treating old and new themes with their trademark grace and doubt, taking full advantage of storylines and characters, drawing on all the mythology, and rehashing it with the usual dose of action, suspense, and technique.
Westworld was also back to being an action and visually orgasmic series, but it was no longer just that as it had happened to be several times in the last 2 seasons.
The scattered reflections on the human condition, on the aggressive and deleterious ambition of the human being, his fallibility, his greed, his thirst for power, and, in general, on death, free will, and existentialism itself, came back powerfully to be central in this season, thanks, above all, to the figure of Caleb, a "human" character played by Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad) since season 3 but who had not impacted as expected in the third season.
The authors loaded a lot on his shoulders by making him the perfect link between the old and the new worlds, he who with the robots had woven important plots designed to safeguard the very survival of the human being and who, with the humans, had tried to coexist in an attempt to digest a new balance where machine and man would be harmoniously together and not in a position of mutual suspicion and mutual disadvantage.
But then came Charlotte Hale and her test, her new world.
