One of the challenges of Westworld since the show left the park after the first season has been to keep viewers coming back for some reason other than to see hosts taking out humans. That meant that the HBO Max series has had to weave some rather intricate mysteries into the stories so that people can try and figure out what exactly is going on and what will happen next. The only problem is that if there is a great mystery so far in this season, there are some challenges in making it interesting. The good news is that even if it's a little more obvious as to what's going on at times, there's still enough of a question as to «why» to make the second episode, «Well Enough Alone,» watchable.
However, that doesn't mean that the follow-through with «Well Enough Alone» was perfect. It's only two weeks into the fourth season of Westworld and there are some aspects that are already growing a bit stale. That's especially a problem considering that the show's last remaining big mystery is being fed out at such a slow pace, that the show runs the risk of making it entirely inconsequential. There are fans of the show who will enjoy trying to unravel every little clue of what exactly is going on. There are also those who are going to wonder just why there has to be a mystery around every corner. This week's episode felt an awful lot like setting up the pieces on a chess board and that's going to need a good follow-through in Week 3 to make it worth it.
