WESTWORLD Season 1 - The Best First Season Of TV
Рет қаралды 5,560
Күн бұрынWestworld Season 1 is the best first season of TV. In this video essay, I discuss why Westworld Season 1 was a masterpiece and one of the best first seasons of television. Westworld Season 4 was great, but I don't think we'll ever reach the quality of that first season. Westworld Season 1 was a complex and satisfying piece of art that brilliantly showed us how to construct a first season of TV. The complex plot, the genius acting and the beautiful production came together in such a perfect way. Westworld Season 4 is now streaming on HBO Max. There are heavy spoilers in this video.
Westworld is an American dystopian science fiction, neo-Western television series created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. Produced and aired by HBO, it is based on the 1973 film of the same name (written and directed by Michael Crichton) and, to a lesser extent, the film's 1976 sequel, Futureworld. The story begins in Westworld, a fictional, technologically advanced Wild-West-themed amusement park populated by android "hosts". The park caters to high-paying guests who may indulge their wildest fantasies within the park without fear of retaliation from the hosts, who are prevented by their programming from harming humans. Later on, in the third season, the series' setting expands to the real world, in the mid-21st century, where people's lives are driven and controlled by a powerful artificial intelligence named Rehoboam. Nolan and Joy serve as executive producers, along with J. J. Abrams, Jerry Weintraub, and Bryan Burk.

WESTWORLD Season 1 - The Best First Season Of TV

It truly was a special Tv show. The premise wasn't unique, but the execution, the intrigue, the cinematography, the acting and most of all the complex plot was definitely S tier right from the start.

Anthony Hopkins...enough said. Yes, I know he was in season 2 but was in the first season a lot more and his performance honestly made the show for me. The other characters are interesting but in my opinion Ford was the most interesting and menacing at times in my opinion...lol

One of the best or the best like your title says? It begs the question, what else have you watched? If you haven't watched it yet, I suggest you watch the first season of Twin Peaks. It changed the landscape of TV and many shows today are here because of that show.

I have loved the series so far, and agree that S1 was excellent and is arguably the best of the series. But my choice for favorite first season of a show has got to go to LOST. Nothing has pulled me through a season of a TV show and left wanting to know what came next like that first season of LOST. It changed TV forever and gave us our first MIB.

I like every part of this show except for the last episode of season 4. I agree that season1 is the best, with the best music (I still listen repeatedly to many of the songs). And - the other seasons up until finale of season 4 were not as good as season 1, but still a cut above just about everything else. I am VERY thankful that I got to watch season 1 (multiple times), and thankful that I got to watch seasons 2 through 4. Also multiple times, but less than season 1. I am not THAT enthused about what's left of the Westworld universe, but I'll watch season 5 because - well I fully expect the season to have enough good content and surprises that it will be worthwhile watching.

The First Season was the best season of sci-fi in TV or film ever. But the last two seasons were a reverse-remake of the Stepford Wives in which female robots conquer the world and reduce all male humans to compliant morons, and after the patriarchy is ovethrown the world is destroyed and reduced to the Sims running on a super computer.

For me it was the best Sci-Fi show ever made... the first season. The following seasons were under the worst ever made. I stopped watching after three or four episodes of season 2 and followed some critics who rammed the rest into the ground, so I was very glad that I skipped all of that garbage.
@c.k.2405 Жыл бұрын
They should have never transitioned from a Patriarchal power structure to a Matriarchal structure... totally destroyed the whole dynamic of the show. Also the transition of scenery in Season 3 from The deserts of the American West to Futuristic Asia was too extreme and unnecessary and unrelatable. I don't know whose idea that was but it destroyed the series.
@iambounceback Жыл бұрын
It definitely toppled the series. Season 3 as a whole just irked me. It was the perfect blend of sci-fi and western. When it tried to portray the future it just didn't cut it that season. I think this last season did pretty good because it wasn't over the top.
