>The season 3 premiere drew 901,000 total viewers to the live broadcast on HBO, which represents a 57% dip from last season’s premiere (which drew 2.1 million) and the show’s lowest viewership tally to date. Overall, the episode scored 1.7 million viewers across HBO’s platforms when taking into account digital viewers.
Why do they spend so much money on a show no one watches?
because it doesn't fucking matter it's about building a library of content that you own forever that's streaming and people keep paying for it hbo max isn't even out yet either
Eli Flores
wow, I'm sure they're all really upset people aren't watching their shows live and watch it on HBO GO instead
Evan Rogers
Can you read

Isaiah Lee
Jesse wasted his talents on a shit show about STRONK WOMAN. Pretty sad.
Ryan Morales
For comparison
>S1 premiere: 3.3 million total live + streaming >S2 premiere: 3.0 million total live + streaming >S3 premiere: 1.7 million total live + streaming
It was also competing with the Biden-Bernie debate, which drew a huge portion of their target audience. With Covid-19 shutting everything down, I bet viewership this Sunday will be huge.
Nolan Perry
Honestly once they left the park I lost all interest. I couldn't give a fuck about robots walking around a bland futuristic setting.
It's easy to figure out- season 2 completely shit the bed.
Hopefully season 3 isn't so far up its own as so to be barely comprehensible.
Sebastian King
OH HELL YEAH
Charles Murphy
I feel bad for you.
Jackson Howard
So you love boring things
Connor Robinson
Damn this is exactly what we need right now.
Ryan Brooks
I got bored with WW2 fetishization long ago. Inclusion of Nazis or revolving around retread WW2 is a sign of creative bankruptcy.
I was hoping they'd do something more tame and cerebral for season 3, to redeem the garbage that season 2 was. I had hoped. Season 1 setup such a fun world! Limitless possibilities! Too bad.
In transition to new things and a new era, the old must wither on a vine. This is how it occurs, by extending old paradigms and $$$$ to the point that there is a total disconnect and break. Exactly. Season 2 killed this show's audience with woke bullshit. > i'm going to keep watching old irrelevant shit and paying your for it. HBO was the first service that left my list. After that woke/broke ass Netflix. The only service I use now is amazon prime because i already have an account. I cancelled cable a decade ago. You can have the biggest library in the world ... I don't watch stuff repeatedly and I don't watch shitty content. I read books now and engage people in real time social activity or games. Once hollywood starts producing compelling forward looking content, my habits will change. Until then, I could give a fuck less about their strategic business maneuvers to horde content... Most of its old, stale, and irrelevant.
Jackson Powell
apparently S1 was alright but S2 was shit so of course S3 will be garbage
Juan Lopez
^this. Season 3 looks worse than season 2. Why fight you. You're a pleb and enjoy dog shit. I don't. Enjoy dog shit.
Jace Lee
Sigh, this is exactly the reason this shit died and like morons they keep doubling down. ^this. I expected season 3 to go deeper especially in a futuristic landscape. Instead we get more woke sjw drama.. Fuck off HBO
Camden Cox
i feel like HBO wants to spend as little as money as possible while also taking on series with ridiculous set piece and cgi demands probably not a good idea
Carter Watson
s2 was good and if the first episode is anything to go by then s3 will top it
Luis Hernandez
He's relentlessly handsome.
Josiah Wright
> viewership drops by 50%+ > Everything is fine this will be better than the dumpster fire that is season 3. Kinda like the shitheads running around freaking out buying TP... Everything is fine until reality hits and then its 'the end of the world'. Pea-brains who don't live in reality who have jarring reactions when it arrives
Ryder Lewis
>A fun show about a western theme park becomes strong women the show
Season 3 premiere was really bad, but this will probably become one of those shoes that only women and basedboya watch that go on forever
Easton Collins
Never watched the show but aren't those nazis just replicants or whatever? How is killing them any different than killing cowboys and Indians in Westworld?
Jason Butler
They didn't understand people actually hated season 2. They didn't understand people would hate it even more once they finished the last episode. They didn't realise they had wasted the entirety of viewer's goodwill built up by a good season 1 in the dumpster fire that was season 2. Even the Paint it Black reprise and Sizemore's speech didn't even begin to help with that.
Eli Foster
"It's confusing, which means the show is deep and brave" the show
Caleb Taylor
wtf are you on about. i realise it's not for everyone and don't care. i think the philosophical sci-fi bits and the characters have some real heart behind it and even though it's to dumb to be as smart as the creators want it to be i still find bits and parts that i like thinking about. there is something there but maybe not for everyone and maybe not enough to give it a 4th season but i don't care about either
Hudson Lewis
What was there even to enjoy about it. All i remember is strong wymyn, unintelligable storyline, uninteresting characters and then the one really good part about the guy who got repeatedly immolated for all eternity Season 2 felt more like a fever dream, kept having the feeling that i accidentally started watching the wrong show, but no, it's just really bad.
Xavier Rivera
>hear the show has sex robots >watch an episode >they're literally just 100% normal roasties dropped
>called west world >not set in westworld in trailers
Joseph Anderson
> have no overall story plan > hire dozens of different writers > hire dozens of different directors > reveal the entire premiss of the show in S01E01 > characters repeat the same dialog every episode > characters wander the same location ever episode
>I need 5 explosions and 40 cuts per minute, 80 db average volume and bright lights flickering on screen to stay attentive – the post Go rewatch Infinity War. I hated season 2, but season 1 was great and your points of criticism are awful. You're probably one of those people who makes fun of Nolan for having people repeat dialogue in Batman Begins, too.
Ayden Carter
you're forgetting when the japanese warlord went insane and when the show became action schlock for an episode and they crashed a train throuh a solid steel gate. fun stuff. not good but great none the less. i couldn't care less about the retarded "muh >muh strong womyn" argument. the female characters are fine. they're understandable but flawed like everyone else >the one really good part about the guy who got repeatedly immolated for all eternity it was amazing
Jaxson Green
>reveal the entire premiss of the show in S01E01 I take it you prefer tweeests like season 2 had?
Eli Gutierrez
HBO is in dire need of another Game of Thrones yet they absolutely clueless how to do it.
Jason Rodriguez
>>the one really good part about the guy who got repeatedly immolated for all eternity >it was amazing >Paint it Black reprise and Sizemore's speech Shit, these were all great. I forgot about those bits, shame they wasted it all.
Ryan Wilson
Just finished watching the first episode. It was kinda boring and they're still making everyone cartoonishly incompetent just show how smart Dolores is.
every piece of art and media that tries to appeal to literally everyone is shit. a show not appealing to absolutely everything is probably a good thing. the last time a good HBO show went from appealing to a niche audience to everyone, game of thrones happened
Ian Kelly
But what if you want to be a nazi? are there Jewish replicants you can round up? Can you throw them into gas chambers? Is there an adolf replicant? What if you buddy up with him?
Lincoln Smith
Is it even about cowboys and Indians anymore?
Oliver Ramirez
I thought this was gonna be good since I saw Nolan was a part of it, but god damn it's turned into such shit now
Charles Brown
More like Drumfs America World amIrite!!
Dominic Nguyen
I couldn't even bring myself to finish the S2 finale, why the fuck would I keep going?
Luke Reed
I'm glad I stuck to watching Fargo again instead of wasting my time with "new" shows such as this.
Tyler Russell
S When watching I thought it was decent and showed potential in this seemingly new direction, but after I realized I didn't like a single plot-line >Delores infiltrates the human elites to find a super AI that runs the world, apparently yawn >Jesse is an ex-soldier with PTSD, can't find good work, turns to crime app because why not Boring. Aaron Paul was decent but a terrible choice, not a good enough actor nor can I take him seriously in a serious role, let alone some "badass ex-soldier turned to crime". His army buddy turning out to be a therapy AI was good but that's all >Dumb bitch whatshername now a robot and runs Westworld corp (or w/e) yawn >Bernard now trying to live a normie life amongst the humans because reasons...oh, and he has a button that turns his programming from cuck to badass So dumb.
Wtf even is this show anymore? Get the soft reboot after last season's disaster but to what? And of fucking course, Jesse is going to show Delores all humans aren't bad
James Jenkins
season one was and ass shows like this always just get worse as time goes on. surprised anyone stuck with it this long
Aiden Bennett
>haha we always meant just to have 3 seasons. We wanted to wrap this story up now from the get-go.
Nathan Gonzalez
>Why do they spend so much money on a show no one watches? based. series shouldn't be created based on ratings, but rather the tastes and whims of tech oligarchs
Adrian Allen
The "twists" are too predictable. Bernards new "hulk" button will end up getting used against him or broken. Also was Jesse's army buddy being dead meant to be a surprise?
Anthony Martinez
I miss Western world. Who gives a fuck about stronk robot womyn killing some literal who in a vague real world
Caleb Richardson
i thought it was a return to form and pinkman wasn't that bad
shame, it's getting canned this season if it doesn't end on a high note
Jackson Long
You'd think with everyone being home right now the ratings would be higher
Kevin White
But there literally slaves to the same system as everyone else? Just because some Corperate businessman decided to dress them up as nazis these replicants are worse than all the other replicants? Damn thats rough
