Who's watched it? What'dya think?
Just finished it (well season one) and am kinda on the fence. On the up side the production value was good and the consciousness/robots thing seems really cool when you're high and like "woah man". On the down side, for being lengthy and plot packed it really didn't manage to go too far. Some of the twists fell flat which would have been forgivable, others were pretty good (I liked the non-simultaneous storylines one, you could definitely notice a causal barrier between certain characters at times, you might have been able to see it coming if you were really on the ball) but there were just too many in total. I felt like every episode ended on a cliffhanger and after like Ford waffled on being the villain for the dozenth time I kinda stopped caring what shocking topic was going to be at the heart of consciousness this week. Ironically I had flashbacks to watching Lost more than once. In some ways I felt like the huge budget hurt coherency more than everything, a lot of scenes felt like cinematography-wank and could have just been cut (start to end I'm not sure hooker-bot actually did anything relevant to the primary plot)

I thought Westworld was great. I'm generally a very "dissective" TV and film viewer but I can still enjoy shows and films for what they are anyway.
So I really loved Westworld. The main plot twist (Ed Harris kills Dumbledore) was extremely well done and it genuinely made me tell OH SHIT NIGGA. Same with the "secondary" twist (black guy is Snape). A lot of the more minor ones were definitely kind of shitty though. But overall I really loved the show, I think it accomplishes everything it sets out to achieve.

Is it on Netflix?
I forgot to take a picture of my ma's debit card tonight so I can sign up for a free trial

It's HBO who I don't think let any of their stuff onto netflix. That might be a lie though.

Ah I might just find a stream for it.
I think I did download the first episode or 2 to watch but my utorrent was screwey and wouldn't download the rest so I didn't bother watching

I liked the premise behind it at first, but then I got bored when I realized it's basically Game of Thrones with robots and Cowboys instead.
