      It was taken off like a year ago, maybe longer. The last season bombed so they took the whole thing down to avoid paying residuals. Think it was even before the merger.

      Which just highlights how stupid the system is. Pay residuals, but pay them based on amount of viewing hours. If no one watches a show, there’s still no reason to remove it.

      Currently an expensive show no one watches can just bleed money.

          You know I heard S2 was bad, so I didn’t watch it when it came out but planned on eventually giving it a chance, but this thread and specifically this post just convinced me to never watch it and just keep the memory of Westworld being good in my head lol.

            I mean, comparatively season 2 is worse than the first one but not a massive shitshow. Season 3 though, oh fucking boy. I’d say maybe watch the second season just for some sort of closure, but then definitely stop!

    I know where I can stream it from . . .

    Anyhoo, I’m sad WW went the way it did. The first season was pretty fantastic. The second season wasn’t horrible but seemed a little aimless. I heard the third and I guess the fourth seasons continued declining so I haven’t bothered watching them.

      I’ve seen them all and I wish I had stopped at the end of the first season. It was so good.

        I stopped after season 2 and choose to only remember the first season, since ending to season 1 is a pretty satisfying wrap up the series. Season 1 is a fantastic standalone mini series.

        That’s where I stopped. It was a perfect miniseries. I saw there was going to be a second season and I just rolled my eyes and resolved not to watch it. The first season ended perfectly to me.

          I had hoped they would tell a story from another world perspective, e.g. Samurai world or something. Instead we got burn everything to the ground and try to take over the world lameness. It suffered from poor writing, terrible dialog, and no sense of direction. I wanted something cerebral not action for the sake of action. That’s also my take on most new sci-fi unfortunately. They take away the sci and slam in fantasy as if it’s interchangeable.

        This is good to know. I started 2 but didn’t go more than a few episodes because it was just…boring? I did wonder what I was missing, but haven’t thought about it in awhile.

    I bought their subscription just to watch it… A month after they decided to remove it. It was the main reason for me to set up my home media server with torrent. They’ve got what they wanted, I pay pirates instead of then

        Eh it’s really not that bad. I knew exactly what you were trying to convey, and didn’t even recognize any errors in the title until I saw that comment and reread it.

        Regardless, you pluralized “streams,” when in that case it should just be “stream”. As a native English speaker, I don’t think I could explain the actual “rule” or whatever, it’s just automatic in my brain. In fact, I don’t even think I’m right that you “pluralized” it. I think you just added an ‘s’ so it changes the form or some shit… Man I don’t know.

        So it would be like:

        Does not stream

        Or maybe something like:

        No longer streams

        If you want to keep the ‘s’.
