So grab some popcorn and a blanket because we have a list of series perfect for you to enjoy while you're self-quarantined!
1. Westworld
It sometimes feels surreal that we’re living through a global pandemic. What better way to take our mind off it by transporting ourselves to the futuristic Western-themed amusement park, Westworld, where guests may indulge in their own cowboy-themed fantasies, completely disconnected from the real world.
As if the premise of the story isn’t already intriguing enough, season 3 of Westworld promises more drama and action after the main character, Dolores, escaped the themed-park along with a few robot hosts. You may even spot a few familiar places from our neighbouring country, as part of the series was shot in Singapore!
Westworld Season 3 premieres the same time as the U.S. on Monday, 16 March at 9 am exclusively on HBO GO and HBO (Astro Ch 411 / 4131 HD) with new episodes every Monday at the same time.
