Westworld is a very thought provoking show about culture and artificial intelligence.

Love the latest season. Top notch production and well directed. Thought provoking, with actors/tresses having to take on several personalities. No, it may not fix your ADD craving. Might I recommend some cartoons for that.

Ultimately, though, the central issue becomes (of course) what's going wrong with the robots or is it all part of some Machiavellian scheme enshrined in the robots' programming.

One of the founders of Westworld, it seems, wanted the robots to forever serve as an experiment on the nature of consciousness and was opposed to the idea of the robots populating a theme park. And then somehow he died, or was killed or murdered, and maybe a robot did it, or didn't, and despite all the flashbacks we'll never really know because all the flashbacks come via the robots and their memories, which, we're told, are always getting wiped clean, or manipulated, and their minds and personalities adjusted and rebooted, to the point that you could not find a less reliable fictional narrator if you went about creating one yourself.

There's a great deal of contemplative chit-chat and philosophical debate about the nature of the robots' "reality" and so forth, but the problem of course is that we are presented with nothing to substantiate the idea that some of the robots are evolving beyond programming to become self-aware and therefore "alive." I remember nothing to suggest how this would even happen. And frankly a lot of this ruminating reminds me of nothing so much as Dr. Eldon Tyrell in "Blade Runner" remarking that providing replicants with (fictional) memories only makes it easier for replicants to be controlled.

Also, the idea that the robots are nicer or more moral than the humans who visit the park (espoused by at least one member of the cast) is pretty much annihilated by the robots (bandits and others) who are every bit as murderous and evil as any of the humans who visit the park. And if they're not self-aware and "alive" then just asking if they are "moral" makes as much sense as asking if lawnmowers are "moral."

I suppose the biggest problem of all is the season finale, which, to my mind, answers no questions and only succeeds in raising all kinds of issues.

Overall, though, it's a pretty good show.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The storyline went from 10/10 (exciting and smart) to 2/10 (unbelievable and boring) in just three seasons.
Why? Just take a look at season 3 episode 1. In this episode, we see Bernard being recognized by co-workers, but Dolores, who was even part of the Westworld advertisement video likely shown worldwide, does not get recognized. here it is important to notice that Bernard actually made some changes to his appearance and Dolores just looks the same. That is just outright stupid!
Another example, is Dolores "killing" a CEO for money. We have disappearing guards, no cameras and the CEO killing himself wearing AR glasses. Come on! That episode is a 0/10 in my book. The wife even sees Dolores, but apparently doesn't report her even though she must have been bombarded with questions (Why was the alarm off? Where is the camera footage? Where did the guards go?, etc.) Why would she help Dolores? I mean she would be "free" either way. It just makes no sense!
Then it continues on with Conells uncovering and disabling Dolores. However, she is then driven around town until she wakes up and kills all her guards. That makes no sense doesn't it? Apparently, we are heading into a world filled with stupid in the future. Along the way, Conells is being killed and replaced with a host. Ridiculous. He could have called for backup while driving away. He could have alerted others that the Dolores host is running around in the real world. I am not even asking the obvious question: Why would he leave his employer to escort Dolores? Terrible story writing at its finest.
I have little hope for season 4 at this time. In my opinion, the only option to save the show is to quickly kill of the remaining characters and do a soft reboot in a different world. Dolores should have been killed for good at the end of season 2. Then season 3 should have focused on the free hosts having difficulties integrating into the real world. That would have continued a smart storyline!… Expand

Idée intéressante que ce parc d’attractions géant dans lequel les « invités » (les humains, les joueurs…) viennent s’éclater dans ce jeu de rôle western grandeur nature peuplé par les « hôtes » (les androïdes, les personnages-non-joueurs…) !Idée intéressante que ce parc d’attractions géant dans lequel les « invités » (les humains, les joueurs…) viennent s’éclater dans ce jeu de rôle western grandeur nature peuplé par les « hôtes » (les androïdes, les personnages-non-joueurs…) !

C’est assez fascinant au fil de quelques épisodes, il faut le reconnaître, au fur et à mesure que les mécaniques du « jeu » y sont dévoilées : un jeu de rôle où tout un chacun suit les quêtes qui lui tombent dans le bec. L’ouest sauvage est évidemment ce qu’il est, sauvage et violent, car en vérité comme dans un jeu vidéo, tout se résoud inéluctablement par une partie de cul ou un massacre. Ainsi se déroulent les scénarios, imaginés par les G.O., les Gentils Organisateurs…

Ou plutôt le grand manipulateur incarné par l’excellent Anthony Hopkins toujours vert et bon pied bon oeil. Jusqu’au jour où bien entendu, nos chers andros, nos « réplicants » se mettent à se souvenir et à prendre conscience.

Le but au moins atteint par la série est un vieux thème de la Science-Fiction : l’avènement de la conscience chez les machines et le questionnement de celles-ci face à leur créateur… A moins que le créateur n’ait cherché que ce but ultime, à savoir créer la vie elle-même… à ses risques et périls !

Donc, la base est louable et saine ; cependant elle aurait mérité un bien meilleur développement, surtout pour en arriver là où elle en arrive, c’est-à-dire une fin assez convenue qui ne réinvente pas la roue dans cette première saison.

Passé cet émerveillement de la découverte, Westworld part en effet en vrille et se perd dans les méandres et les rebondissements aberrants de son intrigue à tiroirs, et de chaque tiroir sort un polichinelle. Ainsi, à chaque épisode se succèdent des retours en arrière confus et des révélations obtuses qui plombent davantage encore l’intrigue qui part en morceaux incohérents.

Quant à l’ambiance particulièrement sinistre, si elle entend instiller un malaise, elle y parvient parfaitement puisqu’on se croirait dans un mélange d’abattoir et de camp de concentration high-tech. Si cela sert éventuellement le message véhiculé et lourdement appuyé, cela tient également d’une complaisance malsaine, en témoigne la violence omniprésente qui n’a pour but finalement que de faire parler d’elle, en tant que série glauque, voire dégueulasse.

Enfin, concomitamment à ses aberrations scénaristiques, Westworld nous fait trop souvent prendre des vessies pour des lanternes : sur une foule de détails, la série cumule les invraisemblances sans sourciller, mettant à mal le monde sur lequel elle est construite, monde qui s’avère sous n’importe quel angle totalement bancal.

La saison 2 ne fait hélas que confirmer cet état de fait, en plus de rendre encore plus évident l’un des défauts majeurs de la série : sa lenteur inexpugnable ! dès le premier épisode de toute façon, un énième rebondissement nous prend encore pour des cons : le type là, c’était un robot lui aussi ! ben voyons… il faudrait arrêter de confier les scénars à des stagiaires parce que ça fait désordre…

Et donc, cela confirme une fois de plus ce que nous pensions : à trop vouloir en faire, Westworld se perd définitivement en cours de route et sombre dans la provocation gratuite ; elle perd du coup toute la richesse de ses enjeux. Quel dommage, car Evan Rachel Wood y est magnifique !… Expand

The first season showed great promise and asked a lot of interesting questions about what it means to be human and what would you do in a consequence free environment. The characters were interesting and showed development as the season progressed. Unfortunately the wheels started coming off the train in season 2 and were completely gone in season 3. The writing became increasingly lazy with deus ex machinas appearing everywhere, cartoonish villains and mcguffins aplenty, all the while becoming overly self reverential with themselves and trying to shock and awe the audience with plot twist after plot twist. Unfortunately they were all incredibly contrived. While the writers are going to great lengths to illustrate how clever they are with painful exposition finally revealing their latest twist, which will undoubtedly be undone by some other twist in a few episodes, audiences have been aware this was coming for ages and just want it to be over. At a certain point, when they have deconstructed everything they created through these turns you realize that you don’t care about any of the protagonists or antagonists any more. Season 3 was actually painful to get through. Watching Aaron Paul, an actor I have liked in other work, trying to emote episode to episode was cringeworthy. Thandie Newton and Tessa Thompson, who were formidable characters in the first and second season respectively, were tragically underused. At the end of season 3 I felt increasing sympathy for the “hosts” who had to live through endless cycles through their “loops” that have been written by a hack writer overly impressed with himself, story patches applied with haphazard care, where nothing matters and there are no consequences to what has happened because I had now lived through that experience as well.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the best existing TV shows. All three seasons in metaphorical form raise social, philosophical and religious issues at a decent level of storytelling. A mixture of science fiction, western - in the first two seasons and cyberpunk - in the third, with small deviations to the samurai, Indian and WW2 worlds, does not make the scenery boring and the picture always looks fresh and beautiful. The music from Ramin Djawadi is top notch as always.… Expand

The first season based on Crichton's work is perfect. Then, in the following seasons, the political agenda took precedence over the script and casting. HBO is in the process of netflixatization since 2020.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finished the finale. Maybe one of the worst season finales I've ever watched (never saw GOT). When the season started, I had my reservations. I just thought it would be Dolores killing everybody again and manipulating Caleb into being her pawn. Then the season progressed, and I had hope. Episodes 2-7 are genuinely great. They set up each character and their motivations so well here. The episode centered on Serac is especially great IMO, and provided much needed explanation for what was going on. Then the season finale came. Holy **** what terrible writing. Every character's motivations are altered drastically. I still don't understand Caleb's character, who's probably the most important of the series. Is he supposed to be some injured soul who has been beaten down his whole life? Is he supposed to be a vicious killer? Is he supposed to be a sweet kid at heart? I don't know, because the show doesn't stop changing his motivations every damn episode. Serac suddenly has his brother's voice in his ear as a god? And this isn't mentioned once before the finale? Then there's the hosts. Since Season 1, the hosts' "powers" have been clearly specified. In Season 3, they're only strong when the writers want them to be, and weak when the writers want them to lose. How does Maeve just blow up Serac's button that literally controls her? She didn't obtain the key. What's Bernard motivation? I understand that he has more empathy for humans than any other host, but what's his purpose? He didn't do a single thing all season until he had the key. Then we don't even know what the **** the key does. Then there's Hale. Hale's storyline got good once her family was involved. Watching whatever version of Dolores that was become more empathetic to Hale's family than she ever was was honestly interesting and well written. But then they kill off the family, and just decide to make her an even more evil version of Dolores. Oh, and then they ****ing kill off William. William was the most human, relatable character in the show. But then they just say "lol **** it let's replace him with a host in post credits I'm sure some people are gonna miss it anyways lol" LIKE COME THE **** ON. Also, why the **** is everything just normal when William walks into the Delos office? There's a difference between subtlety, and straight up plot holes. This show did a great job of being subtle in season 1, slightly worse in season 2, then just said "yeah ummmm let's not let the viewer understand anything unless it's explicitly spoken... oh also make sure we add more fighting scenes between Dolores and Maeve because the incels on reddit love beating off to that." This series should have ended with this season. This series cares more about asking questions that can't be answered by the viewer than it is concerned about giving the viewer a gratifying experience. I can't believe this show.… Expand

There are lots of unneededly complicated story lines. "Westwold" raises lots of philosophical questions such as "What does it mean to be human?" and "Does anyone have free will?"-- but they largely go unanswered. All the main characters (Delores, Charlotte, Maeve, Bernard, William) have largely separate story lines. I like them best when they interact (either working together or trying to kill each another). Don't get me wrong. There are some MAJOR positives about season 3. The biggest is Evan Rachel Wood. Her portrayal of damsel-in-distress-turned-world-destroyer Delores is the highlight of the series. I would follow her army anywhere. The show is also visually stunning. The sci fi elements this season are top notch. The fight scenes and car chases are excellent. I just wish there was a more cohesive story to match. "Westworld" has been renewed for a season 4. Where can they go from here given the final state of the characters? And can they attract an audience that's interested enough to tune back in? Time will tell.… Expand

Season 3 was still convoluted and retained a lot of the problems Season 2 had, although it was a slight improvement because it was only 8 episodes so the story was forced to be more concise. Even so, it was not an intelligently-told story. Rating 7/10

The second season takes the exciting premise updated with so much depravity but also high production value and added philosophical depth of the first season and trashes it with ridiculous overkill profanity which debases the language and culture, and worse sadistic hyper violence and gruesomeness which likely may cause real violence in society (though conveniently there is no way to prove, and the creators here would argue they are merely commenting on the nature of violence while of course are really sickeningly glorifying it)! It's a bore too because the narrative is so damn out there convoluted and confounded nobody of any intellect could follow it except its narcissistic pseudo intellectual makers: Jonah Nolan, Lisa Joy, and maybe JJ Abrams. It's clear from behind the scenes content the pretenders including the cattle (cast), shill writers, stooge directors, other crew, and phony producers sure couldn't, and no doubt nor could the hypocrites at WB and HBO who continue to pollute minds on a massive scale with their wickedness for profit while at the same time have the gall to preach their two faced silly secular morality down to the masses.… Expand

Season 1 was such a great season. What a incredible ending. Season 2 had a couple good episodes but overall it fell flat. And it was a bit woke. I haven't seen season 3 yet but I hear bad things..

This show has no plot, no reason to watch. Good acting and excellent cinematography and who knows how much money wasted to film mindless and endless shootings

Pseudo Intellectual Soap Opera. Season 1 was somewhat interesting when it was new. But I'm on Season 2 Episode 5 now and have been for months.

But I'm on Season 2 Episode 5 now and have been for months. I'm now trying to watch 10 min a day just to move forward and hope it goes somewhere more interesting. The androids are dull and have no personality and the humans while more colorful are all unlikable. Its a soap opera that even as a "guilty pleasure" does not hook me at all. I'm sorry, but I don't care who created this show. It is simply boring on all levels. I loved the original movie.… Expand

The first season was great while the second season was good for the most part but my interest in the show was starting to dissipate by the end of it, so when it was over I was glad it was over. Season three is where it finally fell apart IThe first season was great while the second season was good for the most part but my interest in the show was starting to dissipate by the end of it, so when it was over I was glad it was over. Season three is where it finally fell apart I actually kind of wish I never watched the third season I think the first two seasons are as good as this show is ever gonna get and I should have just stopped watching after that.… Expand

I'm on the last episode of the 1st season (the best season apparently) and...NOTHING HAS HAPPENED.

It's not as "smart" as some reviewers say it is and it's really slow. I was hoping for a fantastic from creators John Nolan and JJ Abrams butI'm on the last episode of the 1st season (the best season apparently) and...NOTHING HAS HAPPENED.

I was hoping for a fantastic from creators John Nolan and JJ Abrams but nope...nothing like The Dark Knight or the other great movies they've done. If you want a show with a similar topic I recommend the anime Sword Art Online instead. From episode 1 there is a clear objective.

The only good thing about this show is that it shows how, given the circumstances, we humans are naturally evil and we need Jesus Christ as our savior.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wish I could give Westworld a higher rating. Season 1 was 9/10; Season 2 was 8/10; Season 3 was 6/10; and Season 4 was 3/10. What a mixed bag of potential slowly rotting away. This review, consequently, focuses on Season 4.

They need to reclaim what made Westworld good. In the beginning, it was aware of major issues in our world and had intriguing ways to help us reflect on those issues without cramming down our throats a simplified narrative full of bludgeoning symbolism. Season 4? Narrative symbolism now equates to: woman in red is fierce and villainous, with guards in apparent white bleeding bright red (to signify their humanity and to highlight the violence that results in her dream). A woman in black is the ultimate anti-hero. They kill each other and cancel each other out. Two strong black women leading the way, ultimate power symbols, unstoppably smart, strong, capable, etc. Counter that against: white abused woman with the power to change it all, trying to get over the pain this world has caused her (read: all the men that abused her), including the men that lord over her in her workplace and put up a literal glass ceiling, including the fiction of true love in her white male dreamboat. She gets advice from her black friend ally. The second antagonist - a white man. A man bent on destroying everything because he can't have it. There is some tiny reprieve for white men in the copy of a man father figure, but he can't join the new world because he doesn't belong. He's a (copy of) a white man. The future belongs to a mixed race lesbian couple as the writers would like us to celebrate. And the thing is, it's not that it would be bad to champion gender equality, sexual equality, or racial equality. It's that it's done so simplistically. The only character worth watching in this show is Bernard. He's the only one that doesn't stand for a simplified social justice identity meme. Maeve has been great up until Season 4, but now she's been simplified and discarded. I don't care what Dolores does or William or Hale. May the writers remember that first they're telling a story - a story full of rich, sometimes deeply flawed, sometimes simultaneously beautiful, people. Three dimensional people. We're not watching a prosaic essay on identity - or at least, not if we are choosing our viewing diet with some sense of care.… Expand
