Westworld isn't your typical amusement park. Intended for rich vacationers, the futuristic park -- which is looked after by robotic "hosts" -- allows its visitors to live out their fantasies through artificial consciousness. No matter how illicit the fantasy may be, there are no consequences for the park's guests, allowing for any wish to be indulged. "Westworld" is based on the 1973 Michael Crichton movie of the same name and features an all-star cast.

Critics Consensus

Westworld builds on its experimental first season, diving deeper into the human side of AI without losing any of its stylish, bloody glory.

As a show filled with mysteries and sudden twists and beautiful scenery, Westworld appears highly successful. But as a show exploring deeper issues, so far, it's a failure, which is disappointing because it's also a failure of storytelling.

In its second season, Westworld's special effects remain impressive and bursts of violence juice the narrative just when things get tedious.

Creating Westworld is an ironic act of cruelty, an imprisoning of characters in order to have them dance out a ballet about freedom for our benefit. And so season two ends on a note of abnegation.

The result is a hodgepodge that has the same ingredients as the film Inception, with occultism and science fiction. [Full review in Spanish]

While there are a few slight missteps, there is no denying that Westworld loves telling a grand, epic story.

The first season was one of the best TV that was ever made. It's actually impressive how much they were able to destroy this show with just the second season alone.

A worthy follow up to the epic first season. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The plot twists and character arcs contribute to a legendary continuation to this epic universe.

Warning, there are spoilers here. The problem with stories about robots that look like humans is that the writers can't resist revealing eventually that pretty much everybody is a robot. Bernard is a robot. The man in Black is a robot. Robert Ford is a robot. It all becomes meaningless as the writers attempt to shock and "blow our minds" with big reveals. For me, this show was a self indulgent pretentious waste of time.

It's not terrible, and there are some excellent episodes. Ultimately, it doesn't quite work here though - things feel aimless and meandering. Season 1 ended beautifully as a self-contained story making this attemot to continue further ring a bit hollow. It just doesn't seem to have much to say.

The style of the first season remains, it's a shame the story couldn't keep pace. Should of kept this to a limited series.
