I really enjoyed the first season. Season 2 felt like they were still trying to hard to go the mystery box routine and I only watched 1 episode of season 3.

Really enjoyed the first season, but never went back for some reason.
Didn't they, like, leave the Old West setting behind?

I liked the first season (though I prefer the film) and felt like it wrapped things up pretty well. Further seasons seemed completely unnecessary to me so I haven't watched anything past the first.

Yeah, it still appeared but went more into the Delos park and other worlds. The second season made you work hard before it was pieced together. I guess the payoff at the end came too late after frustration. I still enjoyed it when the kinks were worked out after ep 3/4
Third season has completely broke out into the real world.

I dropped it halfway through the first episode of season 3. Aaron Paul’s annoying ass was the final straw. I cannot stand that fucker in anything I’ve ever seen him in.

Season 3 was something quite different, but still enjoyable, IMO. Just... lower your expectations a bit.

Season 1 was briliant. The other seasons are nowhere as good, but still enjoyable except the last leg of season 3.... that was, eh, bad.

I’m still excited for season 4 even though 2 and 3 were a drop in quality.

I stopped halfway into S3.
S1 is good.
S2 expanded into other parks but the problem is that the writers tried too hard to outdo S1 in terms of twists so the story became a mess.
I still can't get over the stupidity of the Delos security. Hey, let's charge into a fort without any seige weapons. That'll show them!
S3 takes place in the real world. It's no longer about the parks. It feels like a different show tbh.

i liked season 3 tbh. it was different. it didnt really feel like the same show...but on it own it was enjoyable.
its so weird, i had such a different vision of how this show would play out. there were so many other directions this series could have gone.

I watched about 3 episodes and gave up. I had to keep rewinding to rehear dialogue because I was afraid I'd missed something.
It felt like if I kept going it would be exhausting to understand.

Just finished watching it. Absolutely loved the first two seasons but my God, what were they thinking with the third.
I still enjoyed it but it just feels like a different show. They should have done more to build up the broader world and this new AI villain in the previous episodes instead of suddenly thrusting us into it.
And Aaron Paul, ffs, what a dumb idea casting him as a character so reminiscent of Jesse.

I tried watching season 3, 3 different times. After the first 2 episodes I kept falling asleep.
It just didn't hook me like the first two did.

Season 3 shouldn't exist. Irritated me for some reason.

It was too far up its own ass from day 1. The premise and Anthony Hopkins held it together for a while, but it just got too boring.
S1 was amazing, as were a few episodes in S2. The main problem, IMO, is when you set the precedent that anyone who dies can be brought back.
I’d call it “The Superman Problem.”
By the end of S2, it became obvious that there were no real deaths, and thus, no real consequences.
No real consequences means no reason to watch.

Absolutely hated seasons 2 and 3.
I feel like the AI of Dr. Ford in season 2 taunting the Man in Black - was kind of what SW fans wanted Force Ghost Luke to do to Kylo Ren in Episode 8. No fuckin thanks. Leave the internet trolling/meme behavior to the internet. Bad enough when movie/tv show characters literally act like they are on twitter.

Westworld and stranger things will always be one perfect season to me. The seasons that followed were bad dlc

First season was pretty cool. Second season was meh, didn't even finish.
Add True Detective to that list.

I have not watched it seriously since the first season to be honest.
I have tried a few times to watch the second season again, but I usually end up quitting about halfway every time. It's not that it's bad exactly it's just not the show that I enjoyed in the first season anymore. I enjoyed the who is and who isn't when it comes to the people being real or not and I also enjoyed the absolute shit out of Anthony Hopkins character. But the second season just seems like an absolute leap down in quality when it comes to the story as well as the acting.
And the third season honestly feels like the last season of game of thrones in the sense that they are just throwing things around hoping that it sticks rather than having any kind of cohesive story that is loyal to the original feel of the show.

I'll always remember WestWorld for this scene in particular.
Middle of a gun battle, guy decides to stop shooting thinking he'll get laid and dies.

Westworld is good. I am surprised that Congo hasn't gotten a new adaptation.

Took too long for season 3 to arrive, so much stuff was happening I lost track and after 3 episodes I just stopped watching.

1 was incredible, 2 was ok, 3 was bad.
