Is anyone watching Westworld season 2? Any thoughts so far?
and yes I know there's only been one episode.
I enjoyed the first episode although I agree with others that it could go a bit 'Lost' if not careful. Had to google a quick recap of the first series, had forgotten a lot of it.

Loved season 1, thought it was brilliant. Not quite fully involved in season 2, watched ep2 last night but think I need to rewatch, wasn't paying enough attention. Am worried how they will follow it up, just can't see it being on the same level as Season 1. Can see it going on too long and becoming too convoluted like Lost.
Investigative journalism series showing how huge corporations have peen pulling down the pants of the average joe, but finally get found out. Some of the capers Volkswagon pulled in the emissions scandal is beyond belief!
Watching an excellent French spy thriller on Amazon Prime, called The Bureau. Produced by Canal+ it is supposedly based on true stories of the DGSE. It has won all sorts of awards in France & other countries. Really enjoying it so far.
It is excellent, isn't it? I've seen all three series. Just looked it up and a 4th series is in the works.
It's very le Carre, I think. Slow paced, thoughtful, but always menacing. Really surprised BBC4 didn't pick it up.
Given the sheer scope of the subject matter they have tackled it was always going to be a danger that it would appear that way. Poverty, police corruption, mental illness, historic sex abuse, suicide and it's consequences, homophobia, racism and the hypocrisy of the Catholic church. All for the most part dealt with without resort to cliche and Hollywood style overkill. Gritty, realistic and full of basic humanity - well scripted and acted. I've enjoyed it.
Happy tv show. Totally nuts and over the top. Extremely violent and cartoonist. Recommended.
Happy is great. I'd recommend it for kids as a great stepping stone from Pixar/Disney movies to slightly more adult stuff (probably best to watch an episode first if your child's a bit sensitive).

sense of West World Series 2. Kelly Brook annoying but it is helping!
I saw Maggie Q (Agent Wells) taking photos in Central Park a few weeks ago but I didn't want to bother her.
