Since Westworld's season is over, without spoilers, I can say it was amazing. Two things in particular impressed me.
-
The amount of attention it paid to detail - it's highly re-watchable because of it. Eagle-eyed viewers on the interwebs have caught all sorts of obviously intentional minor things from earlier episodes I'd have missed even if I was watching it 24/7 though.
-
It told a full story beginning to end. Yes there are questions left, plenty of them, but it's no Lost; it didn't 'leave things for the audience to decide', it didn't hint at mysteries and not deliver, and there was no terrible cliffhanger at the end.
I can't wait for 2018 now.
Edit: Hah, @thebird... I was posting this when you were typing your question. Great minds. Or maybe it's our programming.
