I finally got to binge watch this show recently and I was blown away by it. As good a tv show as I've watched in recent years. It's fitting that the major storyline revolves around a maze because that's what Westworld feels like as the episodes go on. And by the end of the season it is a bit challenging to keep up (those Nolans love their non-linear storytelling!). Once the identity of the man in black is revealed, it makes you look at the entire season through new eyes. And while there were a couple of unexpected twists before that (Bernand being a host, for example), the revelation about William made my jaw drop. It's not just the shocking realization of what William became. It's the realization of how tragic Dolores' existence has been: Being trapped in 30 year loop where each time she hopes in vain to escape her fake reality.
The story aside, this show also features a terrific cast with Hopkins, Harris and Wright knocking it out of the park every scene they are in. Can't wait for season 2.
