Season 4 of Westworld changed it from "Too Long" to "Too Soon" for me, personally. I didn't really care for season 3 when it aired, but season 4 made me more forgiving of it, retroactively. It seemed like they were setting things up in season 5 which required season 4, which in turn required season 3. Especially given the nature of the show, it felt like they were building some grand story which required these banal meanderings that would all make sense when they clicked into place at the end.

Now I'm really curious what they were planning in 5 and it looks like we won't get to find out.
