\u201cIn a lawless Steampunk West overrun by brutal outlaws, machines, and supernatural terrors, a father is forced to become judge, jury, and executioner,\u201d Netflix begins to tease about what to expect from Bass X Machina, \u201c\u2014knowing that every act of justice meant to protect his family may ultimately cost him the very people he\u2019s fighting to save.\u201d The trailer further emphasizes that not only is it going to have steampunk elements, but it seems to be drawing from magic with its influences and threats as well. <\/p>\n
