“Westworld” is currently halfway through its first season on HBO and it’s fantastic. The premise is that there’s a park populated by android hosts, where guests can pay to do whatever they want, such as hunt for treasure and go on adventures, but the androids start acting up and everything gets crazy from there. The park is wild-west themed so the show has an awesome balance between western and science fiction action.
Also, in the western genre, “Red Dead Redemption 2” was just announced for a fall 2017 release. The first “Red Dead”, made by Rockstar Games, holds up as one of the most immersive western games of all time. I recommend checking it out.

PlayStation Now is an amazing concept. PlayStation Now has a massive library of streamable games that you can pick and play on the PlayStation 4 without any download at all. Sounds great, but in reality PlayStation Now makes playing those games extremely not enjoyable. Unless you have the world’s best Internet connection, the stream is constantly interrupted and slow. The monthly subscription is also way too high; $20 a month might be good if the service worked. Overall, PlayStation Now is an awesome concept that is terribly executed.
