Season 1 really is the greatest season in television history.

The setting, the plot, the atmosphere, the characters, the actors

I was expecting some Lovecraft shit with loli raping cultists trying to summon Hastur
Very disappointed but it was still a good show

'no'

>>81604829
this.

as much as I love it as a whole, episode 7 was a huge let down, and while the finale has a great ending, it's just not that good.

1-6 is probably one of the best things to happen to tv

>>81606644

You should seriously consider suicide as a viable life choice.

>>81606768
>stop liking what I don't like!!!1!

I don't know why does /tv/ circlejerk over the entirety of season 1 like it's meaning of life itself.

It was good for about 5 episodes and then it went to the usual TV show "exposition - twist - exposition - twisttwisttwist" route where you end up not even caring about the who is the killer or the story at all anymore, you are just watching it because of the characters.

>>81603617
They pulled this fantastic trick where they included vague references to an ambiguous lovecraftian supernatural, but never actually focused on it to much or gave enough reason to believe any of it was real, thus keeping a more or less grounded story as the centre of the show.

What that did was make the unsettling cosmic horror stuff become thematic and atmospheric background noise that merely enhanced the more overt themes of going up against a conspiracy and overcoming darkness in a general and metaphorical sense.

It managed to co-opt the gravitas of a completely different genre, because it had the kind of careful, measured restraint that almost nothing has.

Then we got Vince Vaughn monolouging about the time his dad locked him in a bread bin and and left him there while he went drunk skiing in Aspen.

>>81603767
yep

>>81606842
It's actually more like "Stop not liking what I like", retard.

>>81604692
Season 3 is still alive, so maybe he might revisit that stuff

>>81606842

>stop liking what I don't like!!!1!

>>81607900
Yes, but consider it a completely different show. It's not like season 1, or as good as season 1, so if you go into it expecting that you'll probably hate it.

>>81608237
What a fucking Reddit opinion.
It's an anthology you retard. Each season is going to be different.
>>81607900
Fuck yeah. Starts kind of slow and has some unnecessary treading water moments but otherwise it's almost as good as season 1.

>>81604692
>>81604504

Idiots

>What a fucking Reddit opinion.
>It's an anthology you retard. Each season is going to be different.

I know, but I've seen enough people say that they hated it because of differences from Season 1 that I think it's a legitimate warning to give.

What went so right?

Season 2 > Season 1

>>81603709
Actually that would be Sopranos Season 2 or 4

Westerworld wouldve been great if it focused on people having adventures and enjoying the park, instead of all that philosophical trite.

I keep trying to tell people that catering to political correctness destroys stories, or the believability but no one seems to believe me.
If someone is raped in a show, the show isn't necessarily instructing or teaching us how to rape, but if it shows true life consequences that can be more responsible to show that actions have consequences. That people are seriously affected rather than changing scenes to something else because it's discomforting. Political correctness is destroying storytelling.
Why can't SJW's, and feminists understand this?

>tfw no more Satanic conspiracy kino

The writer spent a lot of time rewriting and going through countless drafts of the script
They had a good director with a purposeful vision for the work, and he had a god cinematographer
Good actors capable of both understatement and projecting extremes

Season 2 story was rushed
But I think its good in the way it didnt try to emulate season 1 and had a much more broadbased approach, its about all of LA and California and the murder is just the vehicle for the exploration.
Went from one director to a group with no other vision except clocking in
With cinematography to match, straight out of out of ncis
A pretty boy actor trying to recover from being the box office flavour of the month, ditto for the girl, and two others that were good

No they didn't the Internet imagined all that

What do SJWs and feminists have to do about this
You're just inserting your own obsessive complaints into this
Its like pants, I hate them, and this show really stuck it to them

>>81609775
You're also just as one sided, unable to identify the correlation.
To not see the connection makes your ignorance known, of which I can't be expected to do magic to get you to see my point with your predetermined disposition. That you believe you're unbiased, and that I am biased reveals more about you, than me.

Why are people upset that there wasn't an actual cthulu at the end? I think it's much more terrifying that the evil done to those children isn't the results of some god abomination raping our reality but is instead the work of bad men.

Pretty sure they do a stealth edit when the camera pans up to the helicopter, but it's still a great shot.
