The second installment of “Westworld” received mix reviews from critics and fans alike as showrunners opted to use similar tricks in season 1 that blew the minds of its audiences. Now, “Westworld” Season 3 is looking to redeem the series from the blunder in the previous season and prove that their storytelling is of the highest quality.
The most glaring mistake that show creators Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan made in the previous season is the convoluted plot that the series took, Metro reported. Even hardcore fans had trouble keeping up with all the maze-like plot involved in the show, so much so that the sci-fi drama turned out to be quite messy despite having a compact storyline in season 1. In order to remedy this, “Westworld” Season 3 shouldn’t use an overwhelming number of plot twists and time jumps.
Instead, what they should focus on is character development and demonstrate to the audience that the “hosts” are developing personalities equal to what they claim to be undergoing. Despite the previous season receiving criticisms, “Westworld” Season 3 is still widely anticipated both by its fans and those who criticize it.
And despite these rather negative analyses, HBO president Casey Bloys stands by the decisions that the showrunners made. This might indicate that “Westworld” Season 3 will still use the same misdirection it employed in season 1 so masterfully but stumbled quite a bit with in the second installment.
How much of this non-linear storytelling “Westworld” Season 3 will contain remains to be seen. But Joy and Nolan are master writers and it’s safe to assume that they’re listening to these criticisms. Perhaps they’re going to take them to heart and reduce the overbearing plot twists that they injected in season 2.
The air date for the show has yet to be announced but it’s likely that “Westworld” Season 3 will air sometime around 2020, which gives plenty of time to the showrunners to reflect on what they did wrong. HBO revealed that season 1 had an average viewership of 13.2 million and season 2 is expected to have 10 million when all the numbers have been tallied. The decline is a testament that the show did become quite convoluted in its second installment and showrunners should address this glaring mistake if they want to keep their fan base happy.
