westworld beyond season 2 was a dumpster fire anyways. an obvious example of poor long term plans.

Agree, Season2 was already deteriorating from episode to episode, with the finale making me wonder how they expect to progress in another season.

By Season4 the aimless world-building reached a degree that it's unlikely they could ever connect back to the same audience as Season1...

HBO's Watchmen on the other hand...a pity that they killed it after just one season...

I think the whole 'park' atmosphere actually made westworld more interesting. the stakes were high locally but not globally, and that left a lot of room for growth and interesting stories. Once they jumped out of the park and made the main characters pretty unlikable, the whole thing sort of flopped, to me. Season 2 was the last of that.

I never watched HBO's watchman because I was a fan of the original comic books and modern remakes of almost everything are terrible. You could be right though, I haven't seen it.

Yeah, agree.

You should give HBO's Watchmen a try nonetheless. It's set a few decades after the story of the graphic novel, basically continuing the path of "alternate history", (not so much the path of the original characters)

That might be true, I have not seen it. That's the point, they were on my watch list and now they are gone.
