After the unfortunate & noticeable stumble in quality during S3, with its pleasantly surprising fourth season, Westworld has evidently worked hard to gradually reinstate its status as one of the cleverest & most creatively audacious shows in TV, restoring my faith in the entire franchise, pulling the kind of game changing plot twist I personally associated with the earlier seasons in order to reinvent the series as a whole, carving out a new, impressive future. Must concede I thought the narrative was limping on aimlessly & I was vying for HBO to put the story out of its misery when I began, but I'll happily admit I was sorely mistaken. Despite the grievances I have with the direction that the creators initially took the plot in, I found tonight's installment to be utterly incredible & a masterful reinvention. Outstanding accomplishment, revivifying the brand with such an inspired, genius, meticulously crafted subversion - which provides context & puts everything in to perspective, now we can appreciate the bigger picture. Can't wait to see how things progress, since they've thankfully revitalised it. So glad to finally be enjoying the programme again!
