This show's been off air too long... I forget half of what went on or where it left off.

I feel the next series will be rather different

Looking good...

That's really the trailer to Futureworld

[McCordRm]

I'm hyped! I've been digging the show thus far.

[Innervisions33]

It debuted last night.  A bit slow with a lot of setup until the action kicked in towards the end.  Very curious to see how it plays out.  Don't miss the post credit scene too!

[Zathras5]

Was quite confused by the premier... If I hadn't watched the behind the scene thing afterwards I'd be totally clueless lol. Hopefully they do a better job explaining stuff going forward.

 

I'm curious to learn which host is in what body.

Loved the first episode of season 3.

[Sir Topham Hatt]

Just started watching Series 3.

I'm not sure the hype from series 1 carried through series 2 and now 3 could be great but I doubt it'll have the best traction it could have.

 

The long break between seasons doesn't help.

Really enjoyed season 3, but it’s become a very different show

I've watched the first 1 or two episodes (before life) and had the same impression.

 

Is the different a good or bad different. I really enjoyed the first season so if it's more of that with a different setting, I'll be happy.

IMHO, it turned worse. It became just too grand but shot at micro level.  Doesn't work for me.

Started watching season 3.  Got a few episodes in to it and lost interest really.  I may revisit, but for now...meh.  First 2 seasons were good but the 3rd, different feel and really just boring the heck out of me.

I'm going to put the "Why" in Spoilers, but I liked Season 3.

 

 

 

I can't help but think they're not in the "real" world, but just another themepark situation. There's just this Matrix vibe
I was getting from it. Once they made it clear that Westworld, War World, etc. were basically rat mazes designed to
get analytics on people, the "City" they escaped to came across as the testing ground for the data they had collected

before actually implementing it in the real world.

 

Also, as someone who grew up playing Shadowrun and Cyberpunk... holy crap it was fun to watch. Fixers setting up deals,
hacking, rigging into vehicles remotely... that was a blast.

Interesting theory.

 

I liked season 3 as well... although It kind of was a rehash of Person of Interest in a lot of ways.

[Innervisions33]

I also enjoyed Season 3.  It was way different than the first two seasons, but that was fine by me.  

 

Also a very interesting thought by McCordRm.... I could see that being the case.

Just a quick bump to this as I'm nearly finished Series 4.

 

Watched from the beginning again and I see the greatness of Season 1, how Season 2 was far too complicated with it's twists and turns and complete non-lenear story-telling, to Season 3 then beginning to be a little better.

 

I'm at Episode 6 and so far I quite like Season 4 but don't really see how it's going to truely connect with the previous seasons and the over-arching story line and whether, again, they've just made it quite difficult to follow.

 

Season 4 actually scared me a little as

 

Spoiler

using the audio to control people through big speakers is a little scary as it's not something you can particularly get away from.
Plus, the noise is a little... well...  I don't like it (as I see the effects of what it's doing).

 

We'll see I guess.

I haven't started S4 yet but I agree with you.  It's a show you can't multitask while watching.  It needs your full attention or you lose track really fast of what's going on.  That's why I'm waiting for the fall so that it's cold out etc.
