      These violent delights had shitty endings :-(

      I absolutely loved season 1 and 2. The show had so much squandered potential and really took a nosedive after that.

      I’m hoping somewhere down the line, we get more of park-based Westworld. There’s definitely stories to tell, that we didn’t get to see.

        Westworld. HBO made a series based on the 70s movie and it was amazing. Had a really strong cast too, but then Discovery went on their hatchet spree and killed it.

          i felt like it fell in quality pretty heavily once it got past like 75% of s2. were people still watching it?

            I definitely was and it only got better imo. It felt like people got too invested in the “western in the park fantasy” part when really it was telling a larger story between the struggles of man, machine and the meaning of sentience on a global scale.

              i did find the struggle between man, machine and the meaning of sentience to be more engaging against the backdrop of western in the park.

            The decline in quality has nothing to do with HBO. The fan subreddit had guessed the twist of season one long before it was revealed.

            And it genuinely feels like during the second season, the showrunners were more focused on outsmarting the fans than writing a coherent and properly paced story.

              Hate shit like this. Same thing happened with Lost. Just focus on making a good story, then if people figure it out ahead of time… so what? You’ve still made something good

              Oh i’ve never heard of this! So the story originally intended to go in a different direction? Where can i read about that? Is there a particular post where this was discussed?

                I don’t know if the story was intended to be different. I’m just saying that’s how it felt to me while watching it. And I guess you can find many posts on reddit discussing the decline in quality from various angles.
