Westworld season 3
The third season of Westworld finally came to an end last night on a hopeful and bittersweet moment. The story, unfortunately, concludes in an underwhelming and frustrating note.
Even though the action sequences of the episode are thrilling, much of what happens this episode, in the end, is just a setup to what will hopefully be an epic season finale.
It’s still not as great and exciting as the first four episodes of the season, ‘Decoherence’, in the end, manages to get the job done.
In its 5th episode, Westworld finally falls back into its old habit of overcomplicating its storyline, which would’ve worked better had it been told straightforwardly.
Because “The Mother of Exiles” moves straightforwardly, even when it reveals the biggest twist of the season so far, everything seems to be more exciting and thrilling.
By tackling an issue that the real world is facing right now, Westworld season three becomes even more exciting and relevant.
Episode 2, “The Winter Line”, retains the energy the premiere of Westworld Season 3 established, giving us what we want: Maeve.
Compared to the confusing season 2, the first episode Westworld season 3 is more straightforward, and much clearer and more exciting in terms of the action and its philosophical examination.
