Reddit reviews Westworld and Philosophy: If You Go Looking for the Truth, Get the Whole Thing (The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series)

well for starters, i dont think this will be an exact representation of the film. Thats not how art works. I do not believe the directors are copying the movie. I think that they are nodding at the film and using the word "metropolis" to describe the futuristic city setting. I think the characters might have similar attributes and traits. I think that the story line of a Utopian society with a crumbling inside is gonna be used. In modern real life we use the word "metropolis" to describe big cities(Chicago,L.A.,New York,etc.). In all those cities you have a great thriving city with a dark under belly of fed up poor and under privileged people. I honestly doubt that i am "reading too much into it" considering this show is one of the deepest stories on television today. The directors have taking ideas and concepts from tons of different art forms (the bible, old westerns, old samurai, and even video games). They have hidden binary codes inside of there other trailers. They have books now written on the philosophy and lore of westworld.

I personally believe they are still in the "park" and that they will be for the duration of this season.
