I just got HBO and binged season 1 over the weekend. Currently on season 2 ep 3 or 4. Anybody else watching this? It's pretty awesome.

Robots in a wild west theme park starting to develop consciousness.

Basically rich people go there to play Red Dead Redemption in real life. Except they can't die.

Season 1 started out slow but became great. Season 2 had some issues but was still pretty good. Season 3 switches gears dramatically. I liked it, but more as a generic sci fi type of show.

Season 1 was the big highlight. Should have ended here tbh, that season is top 5 all time imo.

2 was alright but the back half of the season bar one episode is pretty meh.

3 is just absolute trash. I doubt Ill even check out 4 cause 3 was that bad.

I actually just binged S1 the last two weeks. I think I'm actually on S2 E4 lol.

It's pretty neat. The philosophical elements are great, really making you question what it means to be alive. It's kind of like Bicentennial Man in a way.

The greatest part of the show, though, is how they treat time. The fact that the robots don't age and repeat the same daily cycles day after day makes for some really interesting story-telling ideas and twists, particularly when *mild spoilers* you watch scenes that you think take place in the same week, but actually take place decades apart but are spliced together in such a way that you think it's all happening at the same time.

Season 1 was great.

Season 2 was good but it was made needlessly complicated to give it the same vibe as Season 1 but it didn't work anywhere near as well and a lot of it was table setting for Season 3. Which is totally okay if Season 3 is good.

Season 3 was horseshit.

Fair enough. I figured no one would get it without the context but I deleted it just to be safe.

Season 1 is basically a perfect season. It could have been a mini series and had a perfect run off they had wanted it
Season 2 is still better than most television but it doesn't hit the highs as well as season 1. It also changes up the premise slightly so if that was a big draw for you then that could be a miss. That being said it's still great
Season 3 is still good but really benefits from binge watching. Week to week didn't help but overall still enjoyable. I'd say the premise shifts even more away from the first season so that can be a struggle for a lot of people

I really like it and it is worth a rewatch because you'll catch and appreciate more
I'm on Season 2 so it's interesting to see the changes.

Overall, though, I feel like the premise would have to change just based on what it is. The Season 1 premise would get old real fast if it stayed the same more than one season. It's like those shows that have all these big things happen only to go back to the status quo and you feel like no plot progress has been made.

I'm enjoying the show so far. Disappointed that it seems S2 and S3 are overall a step down. But I guess we'll see.

So I finished season 2 and watched the first episode of season 3. Holy shit, season 3 looks awesome with Dolores going around kicking rich people's asses.

One thing I didn't get with season 2, though. When all the hosts went to "heaven," that native guy saw his girlfriend there. But she was down in cold storage, so how did she get there? Wouldn't he have seen her walk by?

What happened to all the hosts in cold storage? Didn't it say they "disappeared" in season 1?

Wasnt season 2 needlessly convoluted because the showrunners got pissy that Reddit figured out big plot reveals before they were obviously shown in the show?

This is part of the convoluted bullshittery people were complaining about. You just kinda have to assume that the hosts in Cold Storage were uploaded beforehand.

Season 1 was good, season 2 started good but got dumb, season 3 I never bothered watching.

Had they gone in a better direction for narrative the show would be amazing, as things are they went full stupidity.

Evan Rachel Wood is BAE.

The only thing I ever saw her in was True Blood, and I thought she couldn't act.

After seeing this show, I realize True Blood either had a terrible writer or director, because she knocks it out of the park (no pun intended) as Dolores.

S1>s3>s2 imo. I think s2 they went the wrong direction in s2 and fumbled throughout the entire season. 3 was at least entertaining.

I'm still gonna watch season 4. The show is pretty terrible, but I'm just in it to see where they're possibly going with this.

First season was pretty good though. Anthony Hopkins is great as usual. And the premise was very intriguing.

season 1 was amazing. watched it as it came out, then binged it again. then rewatched it before season 2
season 2 fumbled a lot. i think someone said that redditors guessed the twist so they hastily rewrote it. if true, it shows. if it was a good twist keep it in, not everyone reads the subreddit. and besides, they probably had a million guesses so who cares if one was actually right
season 3 fumbled too, had some decent moments though. a little better than season 2

One of my favorite shows currently on the air. My preference is S2>S1>>S3. S2 is underrated IMO. S2 spoilers...Liked how Chaos erupted in the parks also you should of expected out of sequence scenes if you have seen season one. Season 3 was the worse by far but didn't feel like it ruined the series still excited to see what Season 4 has to bring.

Pretty much the same as everyone else. I finally got around to watching season 3 a few months ago.

Season 1, awesome

Season 2, okay

Season 3, ehh
