Westworld

Westworld is one of the most technically perfect shows ever produced. From the beautiful 35mm film it was shot on, the incredible production design, one of the best soundtracks and sound designs of any show ever, and the mostly flawless visual effects, Westworld was designed for those looking for a big screen experience on the small screen, and like most movies, watching it on anything but a big screen with a big surround system is doing this show a disservice. Season 1 is an absolute masterpiece of filmmaking and is virtually flawless and is well worth the time. Season 2 immediately took the show in a new direction and it never recovered. Season 2 has many high points but the decision to focus more on the hosts than the humans is a mistake that plagues the rest of the shows run. Season 3 is a completely different show with the same characters and not even the constantly booming score can keep it from dragging. Season 4 came back with a vengeance and did a great job for the most part of taking the show both back to its roots and in a new direction at the same time. Overall I am sad to see this show canceled. After the misstep of season 3 I was very hopeful that they would have a great 5th season to wrap up the series. Well I will miss returning to Westworld, we will always have the first season to come back to, and watch the final credits roll wondering just how good the show could have been if the writers kept the show pointing North instead of wandering around exploring concepts that had no reason to be in this show. The saddest part is that with so many shows that fall from grace, we will never get to roll back the clock and give the creators another chance.

The first season of Westworld was absolutely amazing, I've never seen anything quite like it. That first season is easily among the best sci-fi shows ever created! There are a lot of people who don't like Seasons 2-4 and that's because they're comparing them to Season 1...don't! If you compare them to Season 1 then of course it's going to fall short because of how incredible that season was but if you just take them for what they are you'll find that that's a pretty good show that's definitely worth watching. I thought Season 2 was just ok but actually really liked Seasons 3 and 4! I really don't get all the hate for those seasons (unless you're comparing them to the first season). I can't believe they cancelled this before the final season. I know they're shopping around to other networks so I hope it gets picked up for a final season.

This show went from being the most complicated si-fi of the decade to just another action thriller with nothing else

I really liked the first season. Second was fine but the third was quite over dramatic. So my rating is for the first season.

Westworld is one of the best sci-fi series I've ever seen. Like most people here have already pointed out...Season 1 was just incredible! Season 1 was so good that I binged the entire season in a little over a day. I just couldn't stop watching it. I personally like Seasons 2, 3 and 4 more than most, there just not as good as Season 1 so people complain about it. This is a great sci-fi series that is intelligent and thought provoking with plenty of twists that will keep you entertained throughout every season. If you're a sci-fi fan and you haven't seen this yet then stop what you're doing and go watch it immediately!
