Additionally, the show’s cinematic scope is high-grade, and it requires intricate costumes and complex special effects.
Its first outing raked in widespread praise, knockout ratings, and rampant buzz, so HBO’s latest hit will need to stay on par the second time around in order to keep momentum.
As Nolan said previously, these costumes, sets, and effects take plenty of time and effort, even after the intricate story has been crafted.
While the drawn-out gap between seasons is certainly understandable thanks to the massive scale of Westworld, both in terms of its storytelling and its visuals, it also puts a lot of pressure on the series to continuously deliver.
