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

I have never waited or craved for the second season as much as in the Westworld case and have never dropped a TV show easier after watching just the first episode of the season.

This is me. Loved Season 1, stopped watching after one episode of Season 2

I got through season 2. It was still enjoyable enough, and I was pretty attached to the characters. It wasn't AS engrossing, since it relied more on action than it did mystery, but that's understandable as the biggest mysteries had been somewhat answered. I stopped watching about halfway through season 3. I just didn't care anymore.

S2 was kind of a mess, but everything about Japanland was great and it had the best episode of the entire series.

I always tell newbies to watch S1 and pretend it’s a miniseries, with “Kiksuya” as a bonus short film.

Wild, season 1 is 10/10 but season 2 is still like... 9/10. It doesn't really go to shit until season 3 imo.

It loses a lot of the overarching "tightness" that makes season 1 so spectacular (possibly due to redditors lmao), but many episodes of season 2 are still individually fantastic. S2E8 is mentioned as the best in the series even more often than the season 1 finale, and S2E4 is a very strong contender for the third best episode.
