Liz Shannon Miller New York Magazine/Vulture 05/04/2020
On balance, the season proved impactful when it came to branching out beyond the confines of the park; unfortunately, at times it felt like it was treading water too often with its biggest ideas. Go to Full Review Paul MacInnes Guardian 05/04/2020
That was the summary of the hectic action in a finale that was ridiculous and stupid, but also pacy and thrilling enough to keep me engaged. Go to Full Review Ben Travers IndieWire 05/04/2020
C-
The moral questions meant to keep you invested in the characters largely disappear, too. Season 3 doesn't bother developing its characters because it refuses to let them question the nature of their own reality. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch Goomba Stomp 05/30/2020
As Westworld goes on and on about legacy and destiny, it certainly is strange to see "Crisis Theory" undo its own in real-time; especially when it is doing so in favor of some obtusely-defined, completely unexplored social 'revolution'. Go to Full Review Calum Marsh IGN Movies 05/15/2020
5/10
A few limp revelations, repetitive confrontations, and a major surplus of subplot has the unfortunate consequence of making Westworld's third season finale feel both overstuffed and altogether pretty thin. Go to Full Review Brady Langmann Esquire Magazine 05/11/2020
Season Three finale of Westworld was a mess of brain orbs, memory wipes, riots, robot FaceTime, and more riots... There were approximately 30 storylines sinking and swelling throughout the episode. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
