I echo the plaudits for Westworld.

Slow burner until the end of Episode 7 and then a whirlwind of activity after that. I read somewhere that it will be two years before the next season is out.

Captain Obvious

Westworld was the TV show of the year in my opinion however it was not a first for HBO to fill a first season with star power only to kill off some of its main stars by the end of it. I thought it was known half way through whom Wyatt,Arnold and the man in black was. The ending would have caught plenty by surprise though.

2018 before Season two it has a hard act to follow.

Wouldn't be counting him out yet. He had an off-the-grid host being made in the lab Theresa was killed in. They don't show things for no reason in Westworld..

Pricks. This is the TV show recommendations thread, if you want to talk about it detail like that, f**k off and create your own thread on it.

Have had this gripe previously about GoT. Take yerselves elsewhere as Gallsman says.

The Westworld season finale didn't disappoint. Anyone that watched the 70s version will know the possibilities for season 2 are endless.

What's this 'Sniper' show on netflix like?

Westworld was shit enough for long enough. Bit of an upturn at the end but really it's Lost 2.0, pile of fancy talk and story archs heading nowhere.

A brilliant, outstanding cast but all the same I've little real empathy for the characters and there's f**k all real character development. I compare all these things to BB which is unfair but when you've seen the best it's hard to accept shows that don't just match up. The walking dead had great character arcs for 2-3 early seasons too, it's not that much to expect.

Season 2 will be a slow f**ker, they've f**k all aces in the pack as regards backstory which being honest was all the last 3 episodes had to play on. Now we know the craic with Arnold, Ford, William, Bernard there's really not that much more to explore our find out. Just have to settle in with the popcorn and reap through the cyborg apocalypse for 8-10 episodes and that will get slow enough quick enough too.

Fcuk all character development? Dolores,Bernard,William,Maeve etc was the opposite of that. The stories all knitted nicely together in the final few episodes I thought

This is us on Channel 4 -  looks a decent if schmaltzy show, thirty something or This Life type drama.

Does this count as a spoiler?
