Television - Westworld (no spoilers)

In short: I like the show. Great production values and impeccable performances. The convoluted plotlines may put off some viewers, as might the graphic content, but it builds up to a larger-than-the-characters scenario.
Adamant viewers' patience is rewarded with unexpected (or, in the case of Anthony Hopkins' character of Dr. Ford, expected) outcomes and plot twists.
The concept has been taken further than Michael Crichton's original treatment, which starred Yul Brenner. Additionally, the later episodes are pacier, with out-of-the-blue murders (of real people, not hosts) and hidden intentions plus actions. These serve well to increase the anticipation going into the season finale, and high expectations from the upcoming season.
The trailer at Comic Con in July 2017 was well-received, although trailers are not the most accurate yardstick for the quality of TV shows.

Drawbacks: meanders sometimes. That's about it.

:) I thought it was going to be over in the previous over... On an unrelated note, while the video uploads: Breaking Bad is awesome! I Alt-Right through the longer conversations, and see through some of Aaron Paul's melodrama, but hey, it's good entertainment. Can't wait for Season Four.
