After we get moved and settled and I’m able to watch stuff alone again this will be first up after I finish the Bond movies.

This is so good.

I finally got around to watching.

I'm halfway in.

Had a long stare at the screen when someone argued, "Masks save lives."

This is so good.

It's unsettling how much stuff in the show rang true to reality only a few months later.

It really is. Geuinely freaked me out as I was watching for the first time.

Watchmen and George Orwell never get old
Sometimes I wanna drive around and find you

The ending was disappointing, but good enough.

I started rewatching tonight and came back to this thread to spur some recollections. I didn’t post much about it despite it being one of my all-time favorite shows. This is so fuckin’ great!

The takes on the first couple pages of this thread are good for a laugh.

Yeah, front-to-back this was a tremendous show. Lots of TV stuff going on for me right now, but I’d love to do a rewatch.

In terms of the one-off miniseries, I'm not sure I've seen much (if anything) better. Just stellar, front to back.

FYI this is leaving Max on December 10, so if you wanna do a rewatch, you better start tonight.

Yeah, but they’ve started leasing out their programs to other streamers. Westworld is also currently not on Max. It might show up on Netflix or even an ad-supported service soon.
