So is this show worth watching?


Heard that it turns quite bad after the first season so wondering if it worth the watch.

reply

i wondered about going back.... was pretty satisfied with the ending of S.01

and if Hannibal is gone is it worth watching ??

reply

The series nose dives like a drunk penguin after season 1.
Personally I just pretend the series ended there... and honestly, it should have.

reply

So this is another case of what happend to BLOODLINE? Takes a crap after 1 season?

reply

Haven't seen Bloodline, but yes, in my opinion Westworld becomes complete and utter trash with season 2.

reply

I'd definitely give the first season a watch and probably end there.
The show soon begins to suffer from a thing I can only describe as surprise android syndrome.
Not to mention all the memory implantation.
It just keeps happening and the amount of "twists" that had to do with it just got really stale.
Season 2 had one of the most wonderful, touching eps though (ep 8), so I'd probably watch just for that. It felt disconnected enough from the rest of the season that it probably could be watched as a standalone without missing too much.

Season 3 though... I'd rather not be reminded of it.
It was really bad, imo.
Gone are the attempts at ambiguity or subtlety.

As others said, just watch Season 1, season 2-3 suck.

reply

So not worth watching then.

reply

Correct!

reply

Watch S1. Definitely a great one and assume it's a one season show. Then decide if you want to watch S2 (pretty good). Pretend S3 doesn't exist.

reply

I didn't even like season 1. I understand that not everyone agrees with me on that though.

reply

For anyone who watched Humans, Westworld was always going to be boring. I also didn't like Season 1. Season 2 is all over the place, don't even know who is human and who isn't or what anyone wants. I couldn't care less about any of the characters.

reply

First season is ok. Rest sucks.

reply

Agreed. The first season is..ok. The rest just sucks. I took me two attempts to finish S2 and I started S3 and realized I just didn't care.

reply

Exactly my experience!

reply

It is not.

reply

I recommend watching season 1 then stop.

S1: A-
S2: D+ (has a few very good aspects drowning in it, though)
S3: C+

reply

I agree with those grades, but I don't think I'll bother with season 4 though, I hated what they did to MiB at the end of S3 and then turned those other characters into androids as well in S3.

reply

Yeah, S4 is a non starter for me too.

reply

Season 1 is.
