We're not even gonna mention Westworld here yet??

[–]LordePachi 402 points403 points  (14 children)

what do you mean, that show only had one season and it was 10/10. there are no additional seasons of westworld in ba sing se

[–]ScottRiqui 47 points48 points  (3 children)

It should have only been one season. After what happened to Ford and the board members/VIPs in the season one finale, in any sane world season two, episode one would have lasted just long enough to nuke the park from orbit.

I remember finishing the final episode and just feeling an absolute wave of sadness wash over me. My wife asked why I was upset and I said, "This was perfect. If they just leave this alone, it's going to be remembered as one of the most memorable shows of all time. They're not going to do that, and there is no chance for more to make it better."

You mean two ladies with no fighting background going at it in season three doesn’t thrill you? 🤣

[–]Charlie_Wax [score hidden]  (0 children)

S1: Perfect.

S2: We're trying way too hard to be smart.

S3: We're trying way too hard to be dumb.

S4: Can't tell you because they lost me as a viewer.

I'm glad they did it that way, like making only one Matrix movie. Very tasteful of them.

[–]Frequent_Thanks583 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Why is west world not in hbo max?

[–]LordePachi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

fuck if i know, im just a rando on the internet

[–]Seatowndawgtown -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Had to do with the paramount/warner brothers merger and cutting royalties so they licensened it to Tubi I believe

[–]Tomi97_origin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing to do with Paramount. They removed it from HBO Max years ago.

WB licensed it out due to cost cutting in late 2022.

[–]joshuatx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am glad I am not alone in this take.

[–]TessTickols 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Exactly, just like there is just one Matrix movie!

[–]LordePachi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

exactly! there is only one matrix movie in ba sing se

I've only ever watched the first season, are you saying I shouldn't watch anymore?

[–]rigorcorvus 41 points42 points  (8 children)

Unrelated but I decided I was going to give season 2 a fair chance, went to HBO to watch it (since ya know it’s an HBO series) and it’s not fucking on HBO. I was pissed

[–]APRobertsVII 23 points24 points  (5 children)

I remember season 2 being okay. It wasn’t as good as the first season, but I enjoyed it.

I never bothered to finish season 3.

[–]tokes_4_DE 13 points14 points  (3 children)

S2 has 2 of the best episodes of the show, riddle of the sphinx and kiksuya (episodes 4 and 8). Overall was still a step down from s1 where each episodes was at minimum very good, but those 2 episodes were on par if not better than anything in s1.

S3 and 4 are nosedives in quality however. Just why.

[–]RedRipe 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Was season two another park?

Painfully reminds me of Silo. Show creators also actively trying to kill it, season 1 of Silo was perfect.

[–]tokes_4_DE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Partially another park yes for maeves storyline. But Dolores / William / bernards storylines are still in the park from s1.

[–]ycnz [score hidden]  (0 children)

Kiksuya was just phenomenal.

[–]Toby_O_Notoby [score hidden]  (0 children)

They actually had the bare bones of a good structure but fucked it up with Season 3, because Season 4 was so interesting. IMO, they should have done:

S1: Perfect. Keep it as is.

S2: Keep all the "The hosts are self-aware and have escaped into the wider world" bit without all the "What a twist!" stuff that made it semi-nonsencial.

S3: Ok, here's the major change. You can delete almost this entire season and instead skip up to S4 where the hosts have won and turned the Earth into their own Westworld. Humans are the playthings that are slowly becoming aware of their own slavery

S4: This would be what the ending of the actual S4 hinted at: We're gonna go one more time around and see if hosts and humans can live in harmony.

[–]SlatheredButtCheeks 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Wait the show is not available to watch ?

[–]Burnerphreak44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think HBO took it down. Can’t remember why but haven’t seen it available in awhile.

[–]here_i_am_here 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Disqualified bc it didn't get an ending!

[–]argote 23 points24 points  (3 children)

I think season 4 was an improvement on season 3. And it never got truly bad, but it never sustained the heights of season 1 again either.

[–]los_rascacielos 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I didn't even realize they made a season 4

[–]Roadside_Prophet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree completely. 4 wasnt as good as 1, but it was still legitimately good.

I think the show was a victim of its own success in that the first season was so good, that season 2 felt worse than it actually was.

[–]Wildweyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never got to watch season 4 be side I was super busy when it was airing then it got removed from hbo before i could watch it

[–]nole112004 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Season 2 was good but not as good and I will die on that hill!!! Also, who here upvoting this actually watched season 4….be honest. I’m not gonna talk about season 3…

[–]kstargate-425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HBO scrubbed it from memory and streaming lol

[–]AndalusianGod 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Based on the reviews, I'm glad I stopped at S1. It was just so good and I didn't even start S2 as I was sure it can't possibly reach the heights of S1.

[–]onthenerdyside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I knew it couldn't be topped and didn't watch anything after that S1 finale.

[–]I-STATE-FACTS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s a thread where everyone can mention what they want and you seem to have done it in the form of a question.

[–]ReasonablyBadass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I especially liked how the last season shows Rehoboam was a one hundred percent right and the "heroes" were the villains 

[–]Alowan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was imo a perfect 1 season show. Glad they made it as a one season show!

[–]Yvaelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody actually got through the final seasons so it was just 10-9-8-7-?

Game of Thrones we all stuck it out to watch the carnage, Westworld we just turned off.

[–]anarkistattack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never seen it and I have HBO. Apparently HBO doesn't want me to see it.

[–]ParkJi-Sung [score hidden]  (0 children)

This had more than 1 season!?
