Matt Goldberg explains that a major shortcoming in Westworld Season 3 was in how it failed to build sensible character arcs for its leads.
The Big Picture The third season of Westworld really hammered home that showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy lack the nuts-and-bolts storytelling to deliver on the big ideas their series reaches for. It's fine to make a show about free will, predestination, privacy, and security, but what carries a dramatic series like this forward is investment in the characters, and Westworld Season 3 showed that the writers still haven't figured that out.
'Westworld' Season 3 Lost Sight of What Made the Series Great Take Bernard for example. For the entire third season, the writers seemed to be at a loss with what to do with him other than he's pursuing Dolores and using Stubbs as muscle. It's kind of a waste of Wright's talents , and because the writers wanted to keep Bernard and Dolores' relationship wrapped in mystery, there wasn't much room for Bernard to maneuver.
'Westworld's Writers Don't Seem to Understand Their Own Characters But then it seems like Westworld doesn't even understand how characters change.
