i enjoyed it cause im a western junkie but its kinda weak for what is supposed to be HBOs new flagship series. was just another reminder to me that netflix has surprassed them.

Yeah, HBO makes garbage.

It's no "Orange is the New Black" for sure.

Episode 7 is really the first episode where it was kind of like a WTF moment. Stick with it.

The acting is great and it's visually stunning

With that said, it doesn't grip me like some of my other favorites. my wife and I enjoy watching it. It's a good show, not great imo

Are you sure you weren't watching a show about Trump's adventures in Russia instead of Westworld?

It gets epically good nearer the end. Starts off good and ends excellent.

Like others have said I thought I was going to like it a lot more than I actually did

It was pretty slow and did not hold my interest very consistently. But it had a lot of pretty awesome moments and the finale was good TV

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't as amazing as some people make it out to be

Keep watching. I felt like you did at about the same point you are at. It gets better soon and pays off in the end.
Had exactly the same experience.

I know you're quoting Family Guy and kind of kidding, but I've never seen a vague, borrowed quote more perfectly describe the way I feel about a show.

And I really liked Westworld. It just got way too far up its own arse at times. (I'm looking at you episodes 2-6.)

Kinda hurt that every fan theory pretty much came through


This. Pretty much every single twist and "surprise" ends up being anything but. It was as if the creators were so afraid the audience wouldn't keep up that they put in too much foreshadowing and too many hints. Pretty much every fan theory turned out to be correct.
