Best Westworld Characters, Ranked by IQ Score
Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy's HBO theme-park-AI prestige drama. The characters whose specific cognitive registers built the show, ranked.
Westworld scores 159/200 (Stimulating tier) and the show's character density is the structural reason. The HBO adaptation's commitment to letting host-AI cognition material be the actual subject, and to letting Evan Rachel Wood, Thandiwe Newton, Anthony Hopkins, and Ed Harris each operate at canonical-prestige register, is the show's most-canonical Season-1 achievement.
Characters: Dolores Abernathy (Evan Rachel Wood), the canonical host-consciousness-awakening protagonist. Maeve Millay (Thandiwe Newton, Outstanding Supporting Drama Actress Emmy), the brothel-madam-becoming-fully-conscious. Bernard Lowe (Jeffrey Wright). The Man in Black (Ed Harris). Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins).
