I was hoping for a season 5 and then a movie later on. Cramming all of season 5 into a movie would probably feel forced to me. I guess it would be something, but if it would be anything like GoT s8 then I’d rather get nothing. It’s bullshit cause they got the show back on track with season 4, and 5 was probably gonna be the best one other than season one ofc

What future viewing by audiences? Why would someone start watching TV show knowing that it has no end? Game of thrones have universally bad ending, but at least it had ending and still can be watched. But with hunders of tv shows on streaming platforms, why invest time to something that doesn´t have conclusion? HBO has now only House of Dragons. Gilded Age, Nevers, or Euphoria are specific not for as many viewers. There are still new series (with risk of cancelaltion - that why I rarely watch new things) and lots finished tv shows.

Unpopular opinion: The Series lived through outstanding Anthony Hopkins a.k.a. Dr. Ford and died with him. Dr. Ford represented what Westworld once stood for: Philosophical dialogue, intriguing, complex but likeable characters and crazy twists. And without him, Westworld turned out to be only a shell of its former greatness.

Series one of Westworld is possibly my favourite TV series ever. And while I also enjoyed the rest of the seasons, the show got a lot different, turning from a western/sci-fi to purely sci-fi. I think the western aspect is in many ways what people remember most from both the book, 70's movie and series one, so slowly abandoning this aspect of the story in S2 and pretty much completely for S3 and S4, tunderstandably urned many people off the show. Shame then, that one of the big cliffhangers seems to indicate a return to a similar story as season one. I am and always will be in love with this show, and am bummed by the cancellation, but I do understand and accept as valid the reasoning behind that decision.

One of the issues they had, I think, was the decision to release it weekly. I appreciate that happens with many other shows (especially tentpole TV like GoT and many of the Star Wars/Marvel shows) but, unlike GoT as an example, Westworld screamed out to be paused and pored over and picked apart in such a way that people had already worked out the twists by the time they got revealed (two timelines, who the man in black was etc). But then by season 2 there were twists being expected that *_didn't_* work out - Arnold had an obvious head scar sometimes and other times not, yet that just turned out to be an epic continuity balls-up. Then the idea that different 'pearls' got put into new hosts bodies, that there was more than one Dolores, and so on, just became needlessly confusing. Plus it got a little too preachy and a little too pretentious for its own good, ultimately.

The end of season two actually wrapped things up really nicely. The real purpose of the park was gathering dna from the rich guests for nefarious purposes. Ford felt so guilty of his part in prolonging the hosts suffering that he created a digital heaven for them to escape to under the noses of the board directors. William went insane and Dolores and bernard went out to experience the real world. Period. They wanted to go bigger in season 3 but the Rehoboam thing really took the show off the rails.

To me, this is a shame because season 4 improved drastically when compared to S3 and even S2 at some places. I think by the time they wrote S4 they finally had a clear path, everything was tight and just visually impressive. Our only hope as it tends to be in these cases, is that another platform buys the rights to it and give the opportunity to the creators to wrap things up. Although, that has not happened to Hannibal so it probably won't happen to Westworld :/

That’s bc the concept is actually the hidden plans of the world elite. One of the oldest in the book. It’s called new world order where they plan to get or destroy the old world so the elite can live in a futuristic utopian world. I guess the powers of Hollywood didn’t want their plans showcased on television. They didn’t want to show that they plan to destroy everything with only a select few surviving till the very end. It’s the same the Phoenix rising from the ashes conceot, the Christian conceot with the antichrist, and the satanic agenda to make a new world order. Order out of chaos which should really be, gain full control out of the chaos we create. I won’t be surprised if the creators of this show wind up meeting an untimely demise soon

If you want a continuation in real life just read "Eric Berne - Games people play" and/or another of his books "What to say after hello". The intro for Westworld is written in the last book even though these books have nothing to do with the movies/series. "He carries out his script because it is panned in his head at an early age by his parents, and stays there for the rest of his life even after their vocal 'flesh' has gone forevermore. It acts like a computer-tape or a player-piano roll, which bring out the responses in a planned order long after the person who punched the holes has departed the scene. Jeder meanwhile sits before the piano, moving his fingers along the keyboard under the illusion that is he who brings the folksy ballad or the stately concerto to its foregone conclusion" (Berne, 1972) Edited: This is not Sci-fi but actual specialized psychology literature.

Season 1 was quite deep and interesting. S2 was misguided continuation that was coasting on the coattails of the much better first season. S2 seemed to operate on the misguided idea that confusing the viewer is the main point, so you had emotional impact dulled by the creators chasing after another Big Twist that viewers could never guess. S3 just turned into pure shit. The worldbuilding was starting to fail as the inconsistencies there dragged the whole thing down. The world felt claustrophobic as they needed to introduce every important character but they didn't have time for that many, so this whole wide world only had like 15 important people in it. Plot was nonsensical but since the point again was to confuse, that was okay. I didn't know there was a 4th season. I stopped caring with S3.

Very, very observant. One hundred percent correct. Every episode of every season of both shows were pure brilliance, one shining light on the past, one illuminating the future. Deadwood is considered by many to be a masterpiece. A series that swears too much by others. I think histories' critics will bring them the rational judgment the passage of time allows, and it will be positive.

Every season had a signature episode Season 1: Finale 9/10. Overall this was their best season. A masterpiece. Season 2: Kiksuya 10/10 Best episode of the franchise. This episode alone is a reason to watch all of season 2. Season 3: Episode 6 8/10 Hale’s family attacked. This season had it’s moments but plot started to get more confusing. Season 4: Nothing. This season felt like homework. The deaths were unemotional. AI William was boring. Frankly, every character were just more boring versions of themselves compared to previous seasons. The show took a hit with Delores as a sideshow instead of driving the plot.

How? It was never a western movie! The setting was in the west, but I don’t consider a movie a western just bc it has mountains in the background. From the beginning it was a sci fi show, it’s about robots for crying out loud and AI. The visuals during season 3 were amazing! The futuristic world that they made was not only realistic but phenomenal beauty was captured. The visuals and the exotic places they filmed were pure brilliance and is what made this show unlike anything you’ve ever seen. When I watched this show, I was like “wow this is what a billion dollar budget can buy, unmistakable beauty that sets high standards.” Remember or here is a fun fact what you see is mostly what you GET! The show used a lot of Old filming techniques, not a lot of cgi! So what your seeing is unmistakeable beauty which set some high standards within the film world. The actors did most of their own stunts, barely any doubles used, the vehicles were customized, they traveled around the world to capture the most beautiful city and landscapes, they went to uncharted territories with buildings, gaining access to some of the richest homes in the world. They had to gain private access just to fillm a few scenes! The dam for instance……. So what we are seeing on TV is not only mostly real, but it’s something only a few ppl have ever seen before.

it seems a lot of the shows I love have ended or about to end. I would like to see them get a movie or miniseries from another network as it sucks they couldn't wrap things up properly. I guess the final episode of Season 4 was changed for this very reason, uncertain if the show would return for a 5th season. But thinking about tv/streaming: Better Call Saul, Westworld, The Expanse and likely The Orville are all done. Stranger Things has 1 more season and it'll be done. which for current tv and streaming series, doesn't leave a lot on my plate for episodic scifi and dramas right now. Something will likely come along such as this new show Vince Gilligan is looking to get picked up. Also maybe both Babylon 5 and Battlestar Galactica's related shows could happen, although these things seem to get stuck in development hell for what can seem like forever after initial news stories about their possibility. The only other show I watch on HBO right now is the LA Lakers show with John C Reilly, which I wouldn't be surprised if it gets cancelled. They also cancelled The Time Traveler's Wife which I actually thought was good and was finding its footing by the end of the 1st season. But I've seen many from Paper Girls to Y: The Last Man, to many other shows that have intrigue but ultimately get pulled due to poor ratings. I'm getting to the point of only feeling like relying on watching old shows that I've never seen before like 12 Monkeys or Man in the High Castle in at least I know how long the show lasts and can watch it through the end of its run.

I want to know so bad what Dolores' final test is all about and how she'll free all the hosts and herself!I truly regret not picking up this show earlier and I can't even imagine how long-time fans must feel! The only thing that gives me some hope was learning that basically all actors are still getting paid for season 5, which had me scratch my head... I understand there are contracts in place, but getting paid for something you didn't end up shooting? Sounds pretty odd to me...but who knows!

In my opinion, Westworld slowly started being less interesting after season 2 and nothing could compare to season 1. I think the way it ended, even if the 5th season was cancelled, the ending of season 4 works perfectly. It makes it seem like after the season 4 finale, season 1 could start again, completing a loop and I think another season might not have ended it so cleanly. I know they wanted to make it a cliffhanger ending to bring people back for the cancelled next season but that ending fits perfectly as set up for the first season. It was a good Westworld like way of ending the series.

Westworld was so unique and I know why most ppl quit watching or paying for hbo Max. Westworld was undoubtedly the only show left on the streaming service left to watch, with the major failure of game of thrones and the prequel…. Many other shows were canceled over the years like through the pines, or true detective these shows were unlike anything else on standard streaming services…….. I was a hbo max subscriber for years and the reason why I canceled was not only bc of the bad ending of Got, but bc I paid through xfinity. My cable provider who has a monopoly in my area raised their cable costs tremendously during Covid 19, and with food on the rise along with gas and everything else, I had to cut my cable. With this said, I now only pay for internet and have a fire stick. With having a fire stick, I have to pay for each app monthly, I can’t pre order things like I could with xfinity. If I want to keep hbo then it comes out of my account monthly, I can’t be behind a month or order stuff before I get paid. This was an important option for me when I had cable. Being able to order things before getting paid allowed me to buy more, bc I had the “watch now pay later.” So I undoubtedly bought more apps and movies with this option. But now with being a sub I have to have money in my account to watch anything, so I don’t get to watch as much. Why? Well when I get paid if I don’t owe anyone then it makes sense to make better choices with my money lol. Another thing to point out, is free streaming services are available. I was able to watch Westworld merely for free during season 4, and I of course got this app through a friend. I’m sure many are using the same app. You pay 20 bucks a month and have access to anything you can imagine. From everything on netflix, to hbo to any movie. I’m sure these barely legal apps and websites along with inflation is why hbo didn’t see so many viewership. Just bc they didn’t see the numbers doesn’t mean the viewers weren’t there, watching it in real time like everyone else. With this said, I feel like many places will go under. I’ve canceled everything except for Amazon prime, the first ti go was Netflix and hbo. Those providers just had very little things I actually watched. Especially netflix raising their costs, I felt like they were the ones who didn’t need to charge as much as they did bc while some series were great, many of their movies were boring over the years and to me, weren’t Hollywood standards. Didn’t matter the fact that they had big actors or actresses within the movies, I felt like they had poor writers and their movies should be lower rated to say the least. Not movie theater quality in my opinion. My fiancé to this day refuses to watch any movie made by Netflix bc he believes it will be dog poop, and after watching hundreds of these movies, I have to agree with him. Netflix, I did watch a lot but I wasn’t left satisfied. I think Westworld season 5 should have got to finish. I loved the show from the visuals to the acting was amazing. You had haters complaining about the fact that they seen a Land Rover in a futuristic setting. I mean they didn’t have much to complain about lol. The Reddit on Westworld was laughable bc you had ppl complaining about things that didn’t matter. I believe most ppl who watched the series loved it. The writing was brilliant. Now at the ripe age of 32, I can predict most things that are going to happen in movies or shows. But with Westworld, it was untainted territory, these ideas were never showcased before, so I was left gripping my pearls by the end of each episode. Dying to see what would happen next. Now with this sudden cancellation, I’m mortified to say the least, and whatever company decides to renew the series, I will pay for the app. Like I said, if it wasn’t for inflation and Covid I think they would have seen high numbers. They only lost my viewership bc I lost my cable provider. I was paying 375 a month just for cable and hbo. Now I pay 50 a month for internet. Big cost to cut when you live in a world with eggs being 6 bucks and milk being 5 dollars and bread at 4. And I live in the poorest state I can imagine the cost in california or NYC

Every season of "Westworld" had great episodes. Some more than others. One of my favorite episodes is in season 3 called "Genre". This episode was edited and mixed during the first lockdown in the Covid-19 pandemic and it is very well mixed in 5.1 surround audio. When Caleb takes "genre", a hallucinogenic drug, the sounds swirl around you. It's very psychedelic. I've never seen any TV show use surround sound better than "Westworld". It's unfortunate that many who don't have a surround audio system will not be able to experience this. Unfortunately, this episode was the least-viewed episode in the whole of "Westworld". The warworld simulation in season 3 was also a high point. I enjoyed season 2 better than season 1. Season 1 kept the viewers intrigued by the storyline and the dialogue, but seasons 2 and 3 put more emphasis on the visuals and the audio. Season 4 returned to putting more in the storyline. Many of the negative comments remind me of the way people criticize psychedelic and progressive rock, and applauded when punk rock returned rock to its roots. I was very much looking forward to season 5. Altogether, "Westworld" is still one of the greatest TV dramas ever made, and it is sad to leave it without the end. That said, "The Peripheral" is now my favorite TV show. I hope Amazon picks up "Westworld".

I also love Westworld, best sci fi hands down, and kinda see Peripheral as the new reincarnation of Westworld in terms of AI, power and humanity

Honest question? What needed to resolve in S5? S4 ran out of ideas mid-way through and fell flat. I’m confident HBO read the S5 synopsis and mulled over it and then probably said it wasn’t worth the cost to produce. I’m all for exploring similar themes explored in the Matrix movies, but the writers removed all stakes, so I likely wouldn’t have watched it.

Season 1 was great, I really enjoyed it, seasons 2-3 felt like a chore to get through, as if the writers were purposely trying to make the audience hate it. I gave up after that.

I actually thought it was the series finale after watching the last episode of season 4. didn't know there was going to be a 5th season. they made the right decision. the show had a reasonable ending and didn't need to wrap anything up

They went in some strange direction that was pointless and made no sense. They just about got away with season 3 but season 4 made no sense at all. It went wrong when Maerve returned to the park looking for her daughter which made no sense at all, what was her plan?

Season 1 sucked, despite everyone saying that it was amazing and it fell off on season 2. It was so unintentionally hilarious I still have yet to start season 2. The movie was better and more cohesive. The twists were silly and predictable in season 1 as well as shark-jumping, muddling the timeline as much as possible. I liked the first few episodes, but all potential felt lost before I'd even started the 90 minute finale and yet that episode got even worse by having a character have an abrupt character arc WITHIN the same episode that was a total 180, instead of over the course of a season.

To differentiate Netflix from HBO. One of the things they do is the same as Hulu and other streaming services. The purchase already cancelled shows on the cheap from other Television Networks around the world. Then they just show it till the point it got cancelled. This used to extremely annoy me with Hulu at first. I would get into show and when looking into when the next season was coming, I would find it was cancelled before it even started airing on Hulu.. They also do a really annoying thing of calling it a "Netflix Original" for example. When I have checked and it clearly is not.

No wonder so many women enjoyed it, being mainly written by women and including ott super-women in the main parts. This is what killed it. It was just very unrealistic and had a clear agenda in making all white men evil, weak or irrelevant. Some may have liked it, but it had increasingly poor viewing figures and biased critics reviews. Could have been amazing if they'd have stuck to the original concept and had Chris Nolan writing it... ALONE.

1. It never managed to replicate the quality of the first season 2. Big shows get canceled all the time 3. The ending of season 4 actually stands as a pretty good end point, not every show needs wrapping up in a neat little bow.

First season was the best what i saw in this century on TV. Great Story, Great Actors, Great Visual Effects and my mind got blown every week. Second season was just confusing and didnt make fun at all. Season 3 was then a little better but i didnt like the new setting and all. Last season git confusing again or just because i didnt care so much anymore and watched it while i was playing games on the phone. I really wanted this show to work and always hopped the last fifth season will blow me away, so that i have to rewatch again and see all as a perfect Unity. Now i am sure i will never rewatch more then the first season. I think that will become more and more a problem with streaming. Before streaming the old shows brought in the money with syndication and commercials. Nowadays only new hyped shows get people to sign for a streaming service. If you didnt buy Netflix yet because Stranger Things is something for you, why shoudl you buy it for the 10th season. Shows just get higher in costs and do not create new Money. I would be Ok when they make more mini series of shows which only have 1-3 Season and thats clear from the start. SHerlock is great because every episode is one movie and in the end the story is closed. Prosion Break would be a great show if they would have knewn from the start its only 3 season and didnt have to come up with some strange conspiracy, Heroes the same. Over all the TV Shows with more then 8 Seasons which are considered good are Comedy. Here you do not need a huge Story which is getting confusing and change the whole formular every season. The problem is, that the Streaming services still havent understood that.

I think its also possible, that after season 1 i expected season 2 to be on the same level and with season 3 I was with lower hopes when I started watching. Also i binged Season 1 and Season 2 i watched weekly. 3 was binching again because of lower hype. It changes how you see a season
