The brief moments that did incorporate the Westworld park were a splendid reminder, as were the surrounding areas within the Warworld simulation, though they were too few and far between.
Yes, Westworld’s visuals did get an aforementioned shout-out, but that’s just comparing Westworld to most other TV shows.
When stacked up against itself, though, the show’s visual mastery sagged hard by setting the majority of Season 3 in the real world.
It’s cool to watch flying vehicles flying through various skyscrapers, don’t get me wrong, but nothing about Westworld’s San Francisco or L.A. locations were anywhere near as memorable as the abundance of nature within any of Delos’ creations.
