We thought season 2 was a cluster f nightmare and have totally lost interest by episode 2 in season 3.

Season 3 is always a transition season for a show. For better or worse.

I think the themes carry forward though, at least what they’re trying to show.

It felt less like a transition and more like a hard cut. I think that's the problem. I am curious is a Nascar kind of way to see where this goes in Season 4.

Season 2 got too convoluted. The beginning of this season had intrigue for me but the middle just seemed to be the same episode over and over again. I think it ended in a high note leaving me curious as to where season 4 will go.

So very little "West" in "West World" again. The number one complaint I heard from fans was this felt more like Future World than West World.

I loved season one, liked season two, kinda hated season three…. I am trying to decide whether to watch season 4 or just tap out now.

We were losing faith, but this season has been great so far. Just don't expect it all to make sense in the first episode.

This season is fantastic. Reminds me of the first season. Last season pretty much sucked.

I have heard similar things from multiple people. It has been enough for me to give it another shot (although I have yet to start yet).

It definitely has echoes of Season 1 where you don't know when is when and what is what.
Agree, but I think they carry it off in a better manner this season. Or maybe it’s because we have the knowledge that’s being done now, so it’s not as jolting as season 1 was at times.

On episode 4 of the new season. Definitely an improvement over season 3 but a lot more cheesy moments this season than past seasons.

That is a bummer. Last season was better but it couldn’t capture the magic of the first two seasons. Would have been nice to wrap it up properly though.

HBO and Discovery screws the fans but not shocking. Rumor is that Discovery wants HBO to 100% get out of scripted TV. HBO will die on the vine. Count on it.

Just read that the cast get paid regardless. Might as well finish it out.

Man, I hope not. This Discovery merger has been awful but if they get rid of scripted shows, that’s the death of HBO.

Canceled and removed from HBO max. They also canceled and removed The Nevers.

:mad:

That HBO premium fee is quickly losing value to this household.

I just don’t understand why they’d remove their own original series from the platform.

If I had to guess, they're probably going to loan it out to another provider for exclusive use for an amount of time.
Most likely but that’s a good way to lose subscribers.
