Paul MacInnes Guardian 06/11/2018
Zahn McClaron gives a great performance in Westworld's most concerted character study to date. It's made poignant because of the way he makes all the emotional beats count, particularly the first and final moments he shares with Kohana. Go to Full Review Alison Herman The Ringer 06/11/2018
It also stood out for providing what the rest of the second season has not: a compact narrative, emotional stakes, and a manageable short-term story... Go to Full Review Nina Metz Chicago Tribune 06/11/2018
I love the way writers Carly Wray and Dan Dietz structured this story... Go to Full Review Huw Saunders Cultured Vultures 10/08/2019
Kiksuya has already been praised as the best episode of the season, and possibly the show, and quite rightly too. This is due not just to McClarnon's performance, but the way this previously unknown narrative is linked with light touches here. Go to Full Review William Evans Black Nerd Problems 07/10/2018
Maaaaaan, Maeve gotta have more life in her. Go to Full Review Kim Horcher What the Flick?! 06/26/2018
I am furious because we could've been following Akecheta this whole time instead of Dolores! Go to Full Review Read all reviews
