Usually love HBO's offerings. Rome, Oz and Deadwood are among my favorites.
But Westworld is not really grabbing me. It's two parts middling sci-fi and one part terrible Western. Haven't watched the past two episodes yet but hoping it gets better. So far it reminds me of Carnivale: the sort of low-brow, cliched intrigue that keeps you tuning in with the expectation something profound might be expressed next time, that all this schlock is building toward something which never arrives.

Although I am a supporter of the show I can 100% identify with this opinion. It would be very disappointing if they keep playing "just the tip" and the big melt down that everyone is waiting for never happens or is strung out for so long that it makes the build up a let down.
I have faith that it will work itself out in a more timely manner - Anthony Hopkins wouldn't have signed up unless something good was coming relatively quickly.
