I thought this season started with a lot of potential that just wasn't realized in this final episode. The plot cleverly branched out into different parts of the world of Westworld adding subplots and more players. At times it was hard to follow all the plots within plots and scrambled timelines but I kept watching expectantly to see all the plots connect by the end into one cleverly weaved story line. Unfortunately, for me that wasn't the case. Somewhere around the second half of the Season the story started watering down, some filler episodes were introduced and many characters got rolled back in a sense. I appreciate an intricate plot but this felt more deliberately over-complicated plot just to make it seem like it's complex. By the last episode I felt like I just wanted to get it over with. I had different expectations for the ending of the Season and I'll admit that the fact they didn't come true influenced my feelings about the Season. The Machiavellian tone of the ending lacked nuance and didn't really peek my interest for the next Season.

I've never read any books. I liked the first Season. It wasn't the best I've ever seen but I liked the actors and it reminded me of low budget fantasy series from the 90ties. The story was actually interesting, I loved the connection between modern world and fantasy world and it ended with suspense so I was really interested what was going to happen in Season2. Unfortunately Season2 obviously got passed to another network, it took 100 years to make and when it started it sucked. The plot was dragging all over the place, the acting got worse and had many copy-paste story elements from you're typical low budget series. Everything was so predictable and unbelievable. So yeah, Season1 is watchable, skip Season2.
