Title: What do you think of Westworld?

I really like it. It was confusing at first. Then I rewatched the entire season and caught every detail. You see all the little plot easter eggs the second time around and better understand the timelines.

I vaguely remember the original movie from 1973 written/directed by Crichton.  I can understand some of the comparisons, but this series seems to have more of a need to prove itself up against past programming successes like "Game of Thrones" to keep HBO viewership viable since HBO sunk a huge $100M budget into the project.

They renewed it for season 2 so my guess is it's been a gamble that's paying off.  In an article talking about its fan base it is fascinating to me that the new HBO programming president points out he's been actively following Twitter tweets after its airings on Sunday nights to gain clues on the storylines because viewers were fast at work nitpicking the details apart.

I haven't seen it, but I've heard a lot about it. I wonder if there's any relation to the movie Westworld?

I had to rewatch it. It was a little tough for me to follow at first. I actually read episode recaps before rewatching all the episodes and once I understood everything I enjoyed it.

I thought it was great! I think you need to watch it again though, there was so much going on. Definitely will
