What to Know

Critics Consensus

Charlotte Hale's inner turmoil takes center stage in "The Absence of Field", an episode that cleverly blurs the line between past and present, human and machine, and the two sides of a conflict that seemed all too clear so far.

Scott Tobias New York Times 03/30/2020
Tonight's gripping episode firms up the connection by having Dolores "red pill" Caleb, the war veteran turned cyber mercenary who came to her aid after the shootout that ended the Season 3 premiere. Go to Full Review Sean T. Collins Rolling Stone 03/30/2020
Westworld has become a very blunt allegory on privacy in the information age...It might not challenge your own personal control unit, but at least you'll be entertained while processing it. Go to Full Review James Hibberd Entertainment Weekly 03/30/2020
Complicated exposition is always tough to deliver in shows and Westworld deftly wraps this bit around Caleb's backstory to show the audience what's going on rather than Dolores merely speechifying. Go to Full Review Sharronda Williams Pay or Wait 04/03/2020
The episode was OK overall. Charlotte was the most captivating character to me, but I don't know if I am necessarily sold on Caleb's storyline. Go to Full Review Reyzando Nawara Film Inquiry 04/01/2020
The third episode brings that thesis back online, prioritizing the most compelling part of the show while at the same time moving the plot forward. Go to Full Review Juan Luis Caviaro Espinof 03/31/2020
