As different timelines overlap, Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) puts together an army of hosts and hunts the survivors, planning to take over the real world; meanwhile, Charlotte (Tessa Thompson) tries to understand what happened and regain control of the park. Others embark on different but related quests: Maeve (Thandie Newton) goes looking for her daughter, helped by Hector (Rodrigo Santoro) and Lee (Simon Quarterman); Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) tries to find a solution to the situation without revealing his identity; from beyond the grave, Ford (Anthony Hopkins) ropes William (Ed Harris) into a new game and sends him on a search for the Door, without revealing what it really is.

More Critic Reviews for Westworld Season 2 All Critics (80) | Top Critics (29) | Fresh (67) | Rotten (13) In its second season, Westworld's special effects remain impressive and bursts of violence juice the narrative just when things get tedious. Nov 25, 2019 | Full Review… Eric Deggans NPR Top Critic The show is swimming in blood, timelines and fortune-cookie wisdom. But the show has lost the curiosity factor that made the original season engrossing. May 8, 2018 | Full Review… Brian Welk TheWrap Top Critic Season two promises to be quite the ride. Apr 20, 2018 | Full Review… Justin Burke The Australian Top Critic It's again easy to get lost in HBO's Westworld, both from a total absorption standpoint and in trying to deduce what possibly, or impossibly, is going on. Apr 20, 2018 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic Filled with wonder one moment, brutally ruthless the next, Doris keeps the sprawling HBO drama electric with uncertainty and dread. Apr 19, 2018 | Full Review… Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel Top Critic The very good news is that Westworld now feels like more of a journey instead of just a puzzle box waiting to be solved. And I can't wait to see where we're going. Apr 18, 2018 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Top Critic [T]he show remains one of TV's boldest and smartest offerings. Oct 17, 2019 | Full Review… Jeff York Creative Screenwriting Everything is perfectly balanced but there is a detail that 'Kiksuya' does not completely transcend: its repetitive nature. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 18, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Mikel Zorrilla Espinof The episode feels like a coherent ending and, thanks to a spatial junction of the characters, the feeling of recapitulation is total. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 16, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review… John Tones Espinof It is quicker than before. It is thrilling to watch and easier to adjust to. Every episode has its own mini-cliffhanger, which is a plus. Jul 9, 2019 | Full Review… Rucha Sharma DNA India Yes, Westworld expertly evokes a sense of bleak alienation. But you can get that from Coronation Street: and at least you'll know what's going on. Mar 8, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Keith Watson Metro (UK) On cultural cue, Westworld series two's first episode - in which hosts have broken free of their programmed "loops" and killed most of the guests and the Delos board - delivers the female "glow up" we've all been waiting for. Feb 15, 2019 | Full Review… Eleanor Halls GQ Magazine [UK] View All Critic Reviews (80) Audience Reviews for Westworld: Season 2 5d ago A great continuation! Thomas C Jun 26, 2020 What can I say, just as strong as the first. Incredible acting, intense plot, interesting new directions and fantastic character development (one character especially!!) Harry T Jun 25, 2020 shitty season, with fully unreasonable events and actions around an over hyped character (maev) dhia t Jun 24, 2020 Less engaging than the first season, but interesting enough to watch all the way through. Both the beginning and the ending episodes feel like the show is trying to figure out what is actually happening and barely succeeding in finding a purpose. Because of this, it feels there is a significant portion of filler where a shortened, more clean cut would've been better. I don't really understand the motives, or drives, certain characters have adopted, particularly Dolores and old William. Dolores apparently has it out for all humans, which seems like a bit of an over-correction since only the most depraved would have abused hosts at the park. This development to her character isn't very satisfying since it remains unchanged from the finale of season 1 all the way through season 2. As for old William, I was hoping his arc would be something more than it was. Him being at the park was explained lamely as basically just a distraction from the reality of his wife's suicide. Hosts in the park talking to him through narratives Ford left behind after his death felt like they were setting up something that he would be a part of a larger plan, though that never went anywhere. The really only good part about his presence was his previous experiments with "fidelity" or testing the compatibility of human and host combinations to create a virtually immortal ideal. If I had to sum up the problem with season two, it would be in explaining the beauty of the first season: it took a fairly complex concept, the bicameral mind, and explained it in various ways that were different enough to not be redundant or feel like it was coddling the watcher. This was great because it was intertwined with the characters' stories that were also engaging by themselves. In season two, there is no longer any intrigue in exploring the value in cognitive capacities, and it's simply boiled down to a more generic "us vs. them" theme typical of action-drama rather than sci-fi. There is no concept or theme that's trying to be described, which places the burden of engagement on the characters and their stories who, both old and new, are unfortunately not as engaging as the first season. In some ways, it kind of feels like it's trying to recapture moments from the first season such as literally re-describing the same characters from Westworld in the Japanese-style area of the park. Consistent with season one, Maive's character and story was among my least enjoyed of the show. Surprisingly, I think the best episode was 8 in which a Native American host's story was told. Anyway, I think season 1 is great as a standalone, I'd prefer to consider season 2 and whatever comes next as simply fanfic. Season 2 does some good in introducing the sci-fi concept of "fidelity," but it's not enough for me to want to think deeply about after watching or even rewatch. Torion O Jun 08, 2020 Not as good as season 1, but still worth watching Keith J Jun 06, 2020 First season was very promising, unfortunately the plot went downhill with the addition of new abilities. They should stick with what they have and that's it. Rodrigo A Jun 04, 2020 Not nearly as good as season 1, but still recommended. Nicolaj E Jun 01, 2020 A masterpiece , this season was much better than what I thought, however in my opinion I just think it has a defect: confusing script for those who see it for the first time, but I advise everyone to see this series. jose r May 25, 2020 I just want to say : What the hell happened ? I don't know how you can do such a good first season followed by this.. Really disapointed Erik H May 21, 2020 season 2 was a complete fail. thought I was watching another season of Walking Dead for a while. full of useless filler.
