The first two episodes of season two underwhelmed me. The next seven absolutely astonished me and gave real and palpable purpose to the first two episodes. This is not just great television, this is genre merging and unimpersonatable. At once this program is an engrossing mystery, multiple love stories, astoundingly violent, deeply emotional, primal and refined. Westworld almost defies any genre, it may well be it's own entirely. It reaches so far, it can almost touch any genre. There may never be a more brilliantly written, acted, photographed, and incredibly well executed piece of art to grace the digital airwaves. If you have not, watch it. If you have, watch it again. Pure brilliance, not to be missed.
