RIP Westworld - killed for the most obvious of reasons

HBO Max dared to kill off Westworld for reasons that make sense and are entirely reasonable. Those bastards.

As Warner Bros Discovery further exits the JJ Abrams business, HBO Max has cancelled its expensive sci-fi drama Westworld. It ran for four seasons with a fifth planned.

Why was it cancelled? Well, that's where it gets complicated. It cost approx $20 million an episode to make and not many people were watching it. Oh, well, actually, that isn't complicate…
