It was taken off like a year ago, maybe longer. The last season bombed so they took the whole thing down to avoid paying residuals. Think it was even before the merger.

Which just highlights how stupid the system is. Pay residuals, but pay them based on amount of viewing hours. If no one watches a show, there's still no reason to remove it.

Currently an expensive show no one watches can just bleed money.

Man, everything after season 1 was pretty bad lmao

[–] wombatula@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

You know I heard S2 was bad, so I didn't watch it when it came out but planned on eventually giving it a chance, but this thread and specifically this post just convinced me to never watch it and just keep the memory of Westworld being good in my head lol.

I mean, comparatively season 2 is worse than the first one but not a massive shitshow. Season 3 though, oh fucking boy. I'd say maybe watch the second season just for some sort of closure, but then definitely stop!

[–] wombatula@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Duly noted, ty.

[–] ButtDrugs@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'd say season 2 at least kept close to the original premise of being a mind fuck in the park (albeit many parks this time). It wasn't as good as the original but I don't think it's as bad as the other guy says. After that though the whole tone changed so much in S3 that I didn't even bother with S4.

[–] Littleleeroy@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Season 4 was better than 3 IMO. I really enjoyed it whereas S3 I struggled to sit through. It carried the story forward and pretty much finished the show. I felt closure after watching S4 and satisfied with the ending (if you ignore the last 2 minutes where they try to set up an unneeded 5th season.)

Gotta love Hollywood accounting.

[–] Amazed@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I feel like GoT should be taken down for the same reason then. But then I realize that maybe the last two seasons were still successful on some level.

I just verified on the Max app

Wonder if Crave still has it in Canada.

Edit: It's still there for me.

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 11 months ago

Yeah, it's not on my fuckin TV anymore. Had to pirate the last couple of seasons.

[–] wviana@lemmy.eco.br 0 points 11 months ago

My wife ask me same thing. At least here in my country I couldn't find it.
