Westworld Season 2, aka “Bernard wanders around looking flummoxed” jack.baty.net

@jack “Westworld” season 1 was better as a season than season 2. It had a better structure and fewer but more consistent themes. Season 2 had two or three individual episodes that were better than any in season 1, I’d argue, but it’s overall structure was not as well defined. Plus, revealing the answers to mysteries (even partial answers), as season 2 did moreso than season 1, diminishes the audience’s immersion in the world the show established. Ironically, the more of it we see, the smaller the world becomes.

@jack I didn't hate Season 2, but the finale left me feeling like I did during season 4 of Lost, which was "They really don't know what the hell they're doing with this story, do they?”

@jack I basically agree with you. I wouldn’t say I hated it but I sure didn’t love it. And I’ll probably watch season 3. I have some thoughts on how season 3 could be good. I think the comparisons to the Matrix movies are apt.
