Westworld (Seasons 1, 2 and 3)

The series is concerned with the noblest of all pursuits: the pursuit of immortality. The show has its moments, which are mostly concerned with winning lighting and Ed Harris. While the entire show appears to have been written by a sizeable committee, Season 2 was likely crowdsourced on Amazon's Mechanical Turk, with contractors majority-voting on each scene and every directorial decision. A team of copywriters must have been charged with writing not-too-tired one-liners, to be pasted on buses and, if good enough, fed to Anthony Hopkins's and Ed Harris's characters, as their contracts must have specified. Speaking of contracts, it seems that starlets view sex as career sinking and violence (if delivered, not received) as career enhancing, and make sure to craft their contracts accordingly. The audiences have to suffer through the consequences, of which Season 2 the worst offender.

Overall, what's missing in Westworld is a vision and passion. Instead, the show is a well-connected machine held together by professionalism.
