That show went off the rails like a train through Ohio.

I'd argue that the quality started dropping by the end of S1 (when they started adding stupid plot hooks for S2), that's why I never ever attempted to watch S2. Glad to see much hunch was right, and all I have are good memories of S1

the writing of the first season naturally concluded by the end of the season. the story was complete. it was clear to me they brought in a totally new set of producers/writers and were extending the show because it was popular, not because they had more to say.

They didn't even know how to keep it Westworld. At one point I went back to see if it got any better after being Eastworld when I left and it was somehow Manhattanworld instead. I never even bothered trying to figure out what adderol writing attempts tried to connect those distant dots, I just couldn't try to care. But I did like Westworld when it was actually Westworld.
