Look, honestly I was into it up until the last episode. I knew the story was twisting and turning a bit too much but I kept watching and very much enjoyed the last season.

I say that it lost sight of its original premise because yes, technically it did. But that doesn’t mean the content wasn’t still great — this is a perfect example of losing your audience by not following the original narrative. I sometimes think the show would’ve been more financially successful had they dragged out the first season into several but I wouldn’t have wanted them to actually do that.

I've seen (and loved) the first season fairly recently, but after hearing so many people saying that the show went off the rails I decided early on that I was only gonna watch the one.

Would you say I'm missing out?

If you like Westworld for the setting then stop after the first season.

Are you referring to the western setting of the playground, or the corporate sci-fi setting surrounding it?

The mix of both. From the second season on it's much more focused on the corpo sci-fi stuff.

I think season two was also really good and mostly still in the park. I'd say it's worth it, but stop after.

It also has a really stand-out episode, Kiksuya, that is really something special. Definitely worth getting to
