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.

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!

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 !

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.

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

There is foreshadowing, there is symbolism, it's a highly visual show. I was never bored watching it.

Very strong performances from the actors across the board, especially from Anthony Hopkins, Thandie Newton and Evan Rachel Wood. There were moments in this show that blew my goddamn mind. Some people might be turned off by the amount of violence and sex, but it's an excellent series. Definitely worth watching.

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

I rate the series from season to season.
Season 1: Absolutely brilliant season with a first-class story and convincing actors and screenplay.
Season 2: unbearable snot. Unfortunately, a short and weak story is spread over 10 episodes. That is also the reason why the actors walk forever from A to B and talk senseless stuff for hours. In addition, practically nothing happens in the individual episodes and nothing progresses. If that weren't enough, you would have packed in dozens of new areas like samurais that were never known before. Who came up with this garbage?
Season 3: Just watched episode 1 of season three and even Aaron Paul can't save this snot. The formerly sympathetic main actors are only annoying. How could this series develop so ****

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 1 was great. Well written, elegantly shot and staged. Anthony Hopkins was crushing it. This show was slated to be a great success if they had just realized what made it great. Rating: 9.5/10

Season 2 was muddled, incoherent writing where the show got really silly and stupid really fast. Still a beautifully produced and stylistically cool exterior to the show, but the writing got so dumb and convoluted it basically ruined everything else. There's a difference between a show being thought-provoking and a show just repeatedly mentioning bigger issues and themes for the audience..... Rating 6.5/10

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

Very disappointing series given its early promise. I wanted to like it so much but they've completely ruined the show.

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.

season 4: Total garbage

Season 4 becomes bad at the point where science fiction becomes bad. When writers are clearly not up to snuff with the current science and wisdom. No computer no matter how much data and capacity it has can predict the future with any degree of certainty because of the butterfly effect."Any path will lead to the end of civilization? What an utter utter utter **** Post millennial depressed teenage hipster blah! And ion the end that's what this series amounts to.

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

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

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.

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 but

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.

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.

I know this kind of reasoning sounds kind of clichè, but believe me when i say that there are some TV-shows that improve with time and gets constantly better, this one, sadly, is the exact opposite.

Season 1: 10/10 - One of the best tv-show
I know this kind of reasoning sounds kind of clichè, but believe me when i say that there are some TV-shows that improve with time and gets constantly better, this one, sadly, is the exact opposite.

Season 1: 10/10 - One of the best tv-show season of all times, absolute must watch, you might consider stopping there.

Season 2: 6/10 - Still enjoyable, kinda starts ruining the plot for the fact that they want to force an unlikely plot twist, the plot twists of the first season were perfectly blended with a very good and engaging plot, the ones in season2 can't really blend with the plot, they are just there for the sake of being there, plot-holes start emerging. Anyway, if you haven't stopped at season1, you should REALLY consider stopping here.

Season 3: 3/10 The disaster blossoms, all the characters and their narrative arcs get extremely convoluted for no other reason than being convoluted and creating, once again and even more, plot twists that just weren't setup properly and come out as forced and unhinged from everything, the plot-holes become craters. You stopped caring for most of the characters at this point, the original immersion is gone (ok, that was obvious, but it hasn't been replaced by anything meaningful), if you watched this entire thing, i'm not gonna tell you to stop anymore, because...

Season 4: 4/10 - It gets slightly better, it start trying to patch up the huge plot-holes and nonsense that season 3 created, it does that in kind of a poor-way and it gives a bit of closure to the entire narrative, it's not good, but it's as bad a season 3 either, there is still nosense and unexplained decisions that appear to make no sense at all, but that's it, you didn't stop at season1, and that's what you get.

It's a real shame, i can't really say how they could have built upon the ending of season1 to create more equally legendary seasons, maybe there really wasn't a way, but i can tell that the completely failed at that.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wife and I were liking it until season 1 got close to the end and we both couldn’t handle how dumb and unbelievably RETARDED the characters acted..
Like The Oriental Tech giving ten murderous AI robot whatever she wants knowing she is gonna kill more people and he makes her. Rainiac anyways...he coulda just ran and called security..
Also, where is security????? The blind spots in this uber elite,,worlds most advanced tech facility and there’s no security anywhere inside the firm. Umm!!!

TWO STARS FOR BERNARD ACTOR!!! He was awesome an I am a fan...

-RETARDED HOW NOBODY NOTICED HE LOOKS IDENTICAL TO DECEASED COMPANY FOUNDER..(he is after all a AI and nobody knew) umm...

~~ the girl who was killed goes into the park alone to investigate something g sinister.. yeah ok...

The show was exciting but goes downhill FAST after episode 3...
This was 100% the mediocre writing,,to focused on political correctness being added that they ignored making the plot elements make any kind of sense...
Stick to the original if you like the story....

They shoulda focused on the guest acting out inside the park and the aaI acting out inside the park..not apocalypse by robot ai..ugh Trust when I tell you that you are better off saving ur time watching anyth8ng else.....

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well, that was a thorough disappointment. I give it five stars because the first five episodes had me going, but the last three were awful and show just how much an impact J.J. Abrams has had on this series. There are so many things wrong with this season that it would take 50,000 and not 5000 characters to note them, but I will do my best.

Abrams pretty much let Nolan and Joy have their way in Season Two, so there wasn't a big drop off, but once this series moved outside the confines of the theme park, Abrams clearly wanted to have a larger role in shaping the story, and so we get this whole "God" thing, which was hinted at the end of Season Two. I almost wonder if he projected himself as Engerraund Serac. It sounds like the kind of pretentious name he would give himself.

This is what killed Lost, as Abrams became more obsessed with the theological aspect of the series, as played out by Jacob and Esau, than he was the science fiction and metaphysical underpinnings that had propelled the show for several seasons. A large part of it was that Lost had grabbed Evangelicals, and Abrams felt he could tap into a new audience. This seems to be the case with Westworld too, as its viewing audience began to sag in Season Two. Abrams clearly got wrapped up with this notion of fate v. free will. The theme existed in the series from the beginning but Nolan and Joy were much more subtle about it. They were more concerned with the existential dilemma that comes when you realize you are not real and that your emotions and actions are programmed. This was the case with the Man in Black at the end of the Season Two, when he was finally confronted with the fact that he was a host. One he clearly was not ready to accept.

For some reason, Nolan and Joy decided to drop that in Season Three and make William real again, as if this was only a copy of him existing in Westworld. That might have been OK if William had any real impact on the new season, but sadly he doesn't. He spends most of the time in a mental ward confronting demons of himself, only to be used in the last episode as some sort of bridge to a new season, for anyone still interested.

Instead, Abrams has coaxed Nolan and Joy into turning Westworld into a new battle of fate v. free will as played out by Dolores and Maeve, which Serac lords over like an angry Old Testament God, whose **** is becoming increasingly dark. He has been able to control the world through his algorithms and a giant data base known as Rehoboam, Biblically named of course. Unfortunately, there are still a few "outliers" like Caleb, which Dolores taps into in order fulfill her vision of a new world set free of this tyrannical hold. Dolores escaped with five pearls from Westworld. I had assumed one of them was Teddy and thought she might have planted this one in the host of Charlotte Hale, given how lovey/dovey they got at one point. But, as it turns out she only made copies of herself, except maybe Bernard, who moves along the edges of the action, never quite getting into the middle of it.

It turns out Dolores wants to use Caleb to bring the whole world down around Serac, who has silently staged a takeover of Delos from William so that he can have access to the vast data bank the company has compiled at Westworld. Apparently, Rehoboam still has some gaps. This would allow him to be rid of these pesky outliers once and for all. He has given Maeve a new body to bring Dolores to him, as she apparently holds the missing link inside her beautiful head.

Everything else is secondary and makes virtually no sense at all. Charlotte falls in love with her family, which I erroneously thought was the sympathetic Teddy inside her. Maeve tries to bring back Hector but to no avail. Ultimately, this is a catfight between Dolores and Maeve played out to the bitter end.

For all it mattered, they could have ended the series here, but Abrams is determined to squeeze all the juice out of the series for one more season, and gives us an ending pretty much the same as Season Two, only now with Charlotte calling the shots. It seems like Ed Harris will finally get his chance to reprise the Man in Black.

Can't really trust the shill access media, but a lot of home grown Pop Culture You Tube channels gave this a good rating. So hey I decided to give it ago.

Another tired old tale of man playing god and the peril of A.I. independence. Doing the wild west theme was probably the cheapest way to make a show about sci-fi robots. The over arching story was generally interesting and three performances by seasoned actors bumped up the class and quality. That being the actors who played Ford, Bernard and the man in black.

I am not sure who I was supposed to root for or get behind? The robots were generally robotic toys and the humans had back stabbing flaws. I heard season one is as good at it gets so I am out.

Love the sci fi elements of this show. The acting is just incredible. The special effects are epic worthy. I just wish there was something to at least inspire a little bit of hope in this consistently dark tv show.

Hard to write a review for a series with a good>bad curve like westworld. In general it is a masterpiece of a series with a main focus on the character and after that the story. The cast is top notch especialy with Anthony Hopkins as Dr.Hard to write a review for a series with a good>bad curve like westworld.

And the Music DAMN the music is sooo good but as I said. The first two seasons are 10/10, after that it degrades a bit.

Overall 9/10 enjoyed a lot
