Westworld co-creator Jonathan Nolan has vowed to "finish the story" they had planned before HBO abruptly cancelled the series.

I sincerely hope so. The later seasons weren't perfect, but they were still interesting enough to leave me wanting more, and to have it just unceremoniously cut off stings pretty badly. Real Netflix move.

I loved the first three seasons, the last one was pretty bleak and depressing but I definitely wanted to see where they were going with it, I hope they get to finish it.

Good. I didn't care for season 3 when I watched it, but then I watched season 4. I can see where they're planning to go in season 5, and how season 3 is a dull but necessary part of the buildup. I think season 3 really killed a lot of momentum, and thus a lot of the hype, but I'm very willing to give season 5 the chance to bring it all together.

Season 3 made season 4 harder to watch. Season 4 was better than 3 but it also felt kind of... I'm not quite sure the right word. Diluted? Or maybe the other direction as a Flanderization?

Most of my issues were the pacing and the attempt at making the show feel heavy, but it ended up not quite hitting the marks for me.

It seemed finished to me. What more is there?

Not sure if you watched up to the end of season 4, but it ends on a cliffhanger. They were building to a final season that would answer the "Can humanity and AI coexist in the same world?" question that the series had been asking since the beginning.
