In one fell swoop, HBO, long known for pushing the envelope with depictions of sexuality, flirted precariously with what critics have stopped short of calling pornography.
The much praised, and highly provocative futuristic sci-fi western series “Westworld” is causing quite the stir after its most recent episode left fleshy humanoid robots panting for air in-between erotic thrusts into their fellow lovers.
In the fifth episode of series, called “Contrapasso,” guests William (Jimmi Simpson) and Logan (Ben Barnes), alongside robot host Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood), encounter a new area of the park: Pariah, a city filled with outcasts, delinquents, thieves, murderers, and a whole host of horny debauched hosts. As a reward for their work in apprehending a stash of explosives for the local mercenaries, William and Logan are invited to attend a sexy party — and as it turns out, nobody throws an orgy quite like the people of Pariah…
The blush-worthy scene pushes the bounds of good taste, and the genre bending show seems to do more than crossover between science fiction and the old west, but also dive into flat out salacious peep show smut.
But none the less, the scene has become the talk of every water cooler in America, and the backlash/ buzz is sure to generate some ratings for HBO.
The shows producers have insisted that good taste has not been forsaken for some sleazy publicity…but if so, then they have to quantify why they’ve received that sleazy publicity…and from here on out where does the show go?
Will “Westworld” continue to go down the rabbit hole of unbridled sensual cinematic lust? Can any restraint really be called upon after Pandora’s Box has been so enthusiastically ripped open?
A new dawn of television may be upon us.
Where “The Walking Dead” has been accused of porn violence, “Westworld” may decide to simply just be porn…
