I think S3 of Westworld was enjoyable and had a lot of good ideas, even if it was a tad disconnected from the original island they were from.
But, S4 just went too far. I was still kind of okay with the sudden shift at the second half, because the progression did sort of make sense. But, that whole arc after that was just overreach and too many god-like characters in the mix.
I can’t believe they planned on having another season after that. How do you change the world to that degree and figure out some other season to solve all of the plot threads?
The whole writing process stunk of season-to-season short-term bullshit, without an overarching start-to-finish plan for the whole series. This is why Mr. Robot excels and Westworld didn’t.
