Sarah wrote a primer on the new show for Asian World Of Martial Arts.

Westworld star Hiroyuki Sanada

Television and film have a characterization problem right now.
Writers in these fields have been creating autism-related characters who are often portrayed as one-note awkward savants or, occasionally, some other worse stereotype.

Not the movie, the actual doomed ocean liner.
This vessel/subject of much imaginative speculation is also an interest for filmmaker James Cameron and Sarah is having none of it.
She explained why in a personal essay for Electric Lit.
