I'm really digging it, but I like orwellian stuff.

The scene between Ed Harris and Anthony Hopkins in the last episode was great.


Ok you have decided for me.
I am going to jump back in.

I was out then you pulled me back in! Lol

I thought the last episode was not very engaging until the last two scenes. They are planning five seasons for this so Im really hoping it's not dragged out in a Lost/Battlestar Galatica way. Thandie Newton is really something else in this.

Man...... I loved me lots and lots of #6

It's really bad. I'm saving up episodes until football is over and I have nothing to watch.

Finally got around to the show this weekend. Watched the first 7 episodes all at once and loved it but felt there were some confusing or sloppy elements. Weird disjointedness. I heard they shut down production for a while to retool the show and maybe that was the reason.

Then it occurred to me that people going back to this manufactured Old West would make it very difficult to tell when different visitors were at Westworld or even what time period they were from. Some of the robots have been in use since the park opened and would be unchanged over decades unless their creators change them. The landscape is unchanged. All of the confusion suddenly was resolved for me. Critical part of the story sitting in plain sight.

Watching week by week vs all at once definitely can shape how I feel about a series. Maybe I would be more ambivalent or frustrated if I had to wait a week after every show. It would probably feel like nothing is happening.

They've elevated the original material. No idea how they keep it up for multiple seasons, but fantastic job so far.

I started watching with an open mind, but the only thing I know for certain is that some of the robots are malfunctioning. It is hard to like IMO. The AMC show Humans is much better in my opinion.

My wife and I saw the first episode last night. It was an interesting start, if a little slow. I'm looking forward to more.

Discovering this show, now. It's unbelievable. Dystopia and well-written features (whether it be television or film) are hard to do. This is a masterpiece. 3 episodes left.

I thought WW was awesome! The last 3 episodes are the best so enjoy! IIRC season 2 is early 2018.
