Hey S&P Fam,

We have been thinking long and hard about the future of this show, and it hasn't been an easy decision. We genuinely appreciate all the love and support we've received with this show and the comments encouraging us to continue, we have read them all and do appreciate your support. However, we have come to the decision that at this stage we will not be continuing beyond season 2 reactions, and our reasoning will be detailed below.

We want to emphasise how much we have loved and enjoyed this world so far, and while we are certainly interested in the story of S3 & 4, the significant decrease in support of S2, which will only continue in S3, makes the resource cost for this slot damaging to the channel. We do however want to thank all our lovely viewers who have enjoyed these 2 seasons with us!

Many people have stated "why would you start a show and not finish it". Now while this is certainly a rarity for us, given the limited support of Westworld for reactions already, new viewers may not know we had only ever polled to do Season 1 with the potential for Season 2 if the demand was there. S2 had a 50% drop in an already niche viewership, and S3 and 4 will likely see another similar drop, where continuing 2 more seasons of reactions would not be viable.

What will replace this slot? Well our goal is to cover movies more consistently alongside live shows as there are so many coming out nearly back to back in the first half of this year - Invincible S4, The Boys S5, HOTD S3 to name a few. These will feature alongside The Walking Dead, Dexter & Movies which we are already covering.

Although some sad news for some, we appreciate your understanding and support!

So much love, Spartan & Pudgey ♥️

Im sorry yall I might get some hate but W POST.. Westworld season 1 was the only good one.. On to the next

Alan

On to Fallout S2?!

Unhinged Official

🥴 agreed. I didn't finish this show either! it's good at the start.

Simon

Heck yeah. More consistent movies is a huge W.

Abby

You gave us Fair Warning so we were prepared :)

Nathan Jasper

It's been fun! Looking forward to what you do next

Pinoto

You are right, no one asked, completely unnecessary post that just brings unneeded negativity.

Max Martin

Lol hate is your nourishment, don't act like you're not actively seeking it out

DRIP DROP

Don't worry buddy we're getting better stuff than westworld. It will be okay.

engraved

fair! any chance for fallout s2? 👀

Richiep

I'd love a Star Wars Marathon :)

Vegar

Great! Loved s1 and 2, season 3 is ass

Christopher

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away…. ….I’m still waiting patiently.

Juha Jansson

I can't blame you, the first season was the best and it went downhill from there. I wish you'd look into starting Babylon 5 - it has a loyal fan base and it was one of the first - if not _the_ first - show with multi-season plot arches.

Paul

In these rare situations, you could always watch the last two seasons on your own time and simply release a review of your thoughts on it.

Pinoto

Thanks for the negativity.

Pushindazeez

Totally understand your very valid reasons, I think you went above and beyond giving valuable time to Season 2, I never made it through S2 myself. Looking very forward to what comes next!

DRIP DROP

^ Bros whole month is ruined cuz he joined for westworld lmfao

Vegar

Im positive about their decision. I wouldn’t say anything negative if they chose to continue.

Richiep

Teletubbies?

Samanda

First, your decision is 100 % fair. You were clear from the start that you might only do one or two seasons. So no one can really complain. But I think you may be missing one important point: the opportunity. Westworld Season 3 and 4 reactions are very rare on YouTube. If you continue, and then someone searches for “Westworld S3 reactions,” they will always find your channel at the top. There is much less competition. This is very different from big shows like Game of Thrones, where many channels are competing and it’s harder to stand out. Rare shows can bring in loyal viewers. Let me illustrate with a personal example: I had never paid for any reaction channel before. I became a Patreon member only because of your Westworld reactions. And now I'm continuing to be a Patreon: not for Westworld, but for The Walking Dead. Westworld brought me in. Your other content made me stay. That’s the real value of covering a rare but strong show. In the next 5 years, people will continuously look for Westworld reactions, just like with any show. It brings new viewers who can become long-term supporters. So while I respect your decision, I disagree with your fears. I think the long-term benefit may be bigger than it seems.

Julien

S2-4 were always intended to be tentative at the outset. It's fine. There was a similar deal with TWD. The commitment was 8 seasons, and the rest tentative. I suspect you WILL continue that one, I think it's worth it (finally watched that part only recently and was pleasantly surprised, warts and all), but won't be upset if you don't.

spartanandpudgey

i agree with your premise, however the argument can equally be made that whatever its replaced with will comfortably bring in that many new people and more. of course there's always that chance, howver with the S2 reactions barely reaching sustainable numbers, and S3 without a doubt having a big drop off again, it seems unlikely that the pros outweigh the cons. that being said we're realy glad you have enjoyed the journey with us enough to stay on! we have really enjoyed westworld and the experience with everyone.

Yoshio

I'm just glad you did not only S1 but S2 as well, and even loved them both. Hopefully, you'll continue and try the other seasons just for yourselves. Regardless, this was one of my favorite reactions by you and I enjoyed it!

David Cansler

I hope u keep it balanced with fantasy, super heroes and balance with dramas. Dexter has been great and hopefully someday you'll get to Ozark. Another great drama.

DRIP DROP

I still never watched Ozark man i really need to

Clare 💕

Honestly, best decision.

Dogman

good call, the show should have been 1 season

Dogman

Ozark is so good, slept on show fr

Andy

Disappointing, but I understand from a business/metrics perspective. It's a bit of a vicious cycle with this show, HBO totally sabotaged any hope of growing the fandom over time or becoming a cult classic later on by completely removing the entire show from their streaming platform right after it ended... and forcing their subscribers to buy their own flagship HBO Original show from somewhere else, season by season. Obviously that heavily discourages new fans and heavily discourages binge viewing. The exaggerated backlash to everything post-S1 also discourages potential fans from even giving the later seasons a chance, as you guys saw with S2 far exceeding the terrible expectations set by all the people who claimed it wasn't worth watching. Still grateful that you at least gave S2 a chance and didn't make this a S1 only reaction, it would've been very frustrating to see all your questions from S1 go unanswered. If it had any chance of winning a poll against other shows, I would recommend putting the second half of the show in some type of poll later, but waiting that long to react to the rest is probably very not ideal for a show this complicated. Probably best to watch the rest on your own.

Ending with season 2 is the right call. It really is in season 3 that the train goes off the rails in a big nonsensical way. You got the best of Westworld Now if you want to go back and watch the original 1973 movie Westworld from the author of Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton that inspired the TV series Myself and many others would be down for that. It’s one self-contained movie. Simpler and not as sophisticated as the show some 30 years later. It would be interesting for you guys to go back and watch the original movie. The TV series had Easter eggs from the movie by the way. They would have meant nothing to you at the time, because you hadn’t seen the movie. But there was a big Easter egg in season 1 that got a lot of excitement from everyone who knew the movie.

JonSnow21

This is a great decision. Once y’all start back doing movies consistently, it will only grow your channel as movies get far more views than shows, Also I hope you guys are bringing back movie polls.

JonSnow21

You guys would love Viking just saying.

JonSnow21

Bro stop crying, I was honestly annoyed at them doing Westworld from the start bc I know the fall off in S2 . More movies are way better for us and them , Movies bring way more people to their channel and gets far more views.

BERSERKS

The Sopranos or Pluribus (From the creator of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul)

StoneyBowlz

Yeah I was done after season 1 same thing happened when I watched the show.

Artanis

You people are so nice. Hope folks share the same energy with shows you enjoy.

Pinoto

Hey buddy, I joined for Dexter. I've never seen Westworld, it was almost over by the time I joined, I just don't like bully like behavior. Does not matter what the show is.

Pinoto

@at Vegar Ok cool sorry I misinterpreted.

Pinoto

Is anyone arguing that is not the case Jon. I don't even watch this show. Only people I actually see arguing or being toxic are the folks that didn't even watch it rubbing it in to the people that did. I'd be against that for any show it's bad for community and causes fights and negativity.

Dae

Spartans seen it already

DRIP DROP

Told you they were ending it.. weren't you the one that got all mad because I said it was already decided? Lmfao

Sheri

No worries! Watch it on your own if you want, it's still worth it in my opinion. Great reactions, thank you!

Euphemia Isobel

I agree with your decision, Season 3 and 4 are just not the same show at all. There's a reason the support fell off. I'm very glad you guys stuck through season 2 though! Thanks for the reactions:)

Clare 💕

I enjoyed S1 and 2 very much. I have watched all of Westworld several times all the way through, but in my opinion, everything after S2 was just not as good and not needed for the story. How come you only commented this on my comment?? I'm not the only one who felt this way. ... and DRIP DROP, no that was most definitely not me. If you check their post where they asked about watching the other seasons before they even started this journey, I clearly said only watch S1 and 2.

James Waters

When Westworld came out in 2016, I genuinely thought it would be the next Game of Thrones, it had the potential. If I were to compare the two, I'd say season 1 is like seasons 1-4 of thrones which is perfect, season 2 is like season 5-6 of thrones, still good in places but missing something, and seasons 3 and 4 is like season 7-8 of thrones, which you can take as you will lol.

BERSERKS

15.5k members and only 51 comments in 6 hours. Yikes. Think its time to do a show you might like but everyone else does. One Piece Anime.

spartanandpudgey

this post was only posted for the top 2 tiers which this currently effects, which it around 2000 people. most of those 15000 are free members or past members. also this post isn't relevant to a large portion of our community so it wouldnt have need of the engagement

RossBuckley123

I highly recommend reacting to The Sopranos eventually (whenever you think is right), it's a very iconic show and is the inspiration for breaking bad and many other top tier shows 👍

BERSERKS

54 comments in 10 hours with 2000 members. Engagement is what is lacking brother.

K

Sad news 😭 But I really think more consistent movie reactions is what will help the channel grow! Would love to finally see Superbad for example

spartanandpudgey

the engagement of this singular post, based on a niche smaller show on our channel has very little importance.

Max Martin

Bro suggests One Piece on a channel that doesn't do anime

Hamza Asif

Good decision. Now get on succession 🥳

Sonya Byrd

Wish ya'll the best with your future decisions. I didn't like Westworld when it 1st released & stopped after 2.5 episodes. I made it to Season 2 with ya'll but drifted off after about 2 episodes in. The actors are top tier, stellar...phenomenal in fact, and the concept/plot are great but I do not care for the writing at all. I just do not care at all about anything happening nor where it may go.

Gum Gum

we getting one piece season 2 next month?

Amanda Hobbs

If you guys haven’t seen the Avatar (2009 blue people) movies I’d love to see reactions to those and Fire and Ash when it come out on streaming!

Rob

It makes perfect sense from a viewership perspective, but it hurts from a personal perspective. Seasons 3 and 4 are frankly underrated. Maybe watch the season 3 trailer--might change your mind ;) Binging isn't a bad format: single video, reduced discussion between episodes, higher viewership since it's one thing, and you get to see where the story ends.

Sam

FALLOUT

Fuzzy Dunlop

You should use this free time to finally come get me from the airport.

Artanis

Imagine thinking there is some 1:1 relationship between a patreon post, which people miss half the time, and overall engagement. You didn't do too well in school did you.

Artanis

I don't think S3 deserves that but s4 sure.

Artanis

No? Everyone knew the situation with it, and people were commenting based on their most recent comments about it. The creators had asked for input about it, and you just ignored what they said, stop making up things lol.

Clare 💕

What tf am I making up?? They said they weren't going past S2 and I said "best decision". End of!

Fuzzy Dunlop

What an aggressive and unwarranted reply, Spartan. Shame on you. Now come give ol’ Fuzzy a big hug. You can find me at the airport.

Felix Hayoz

as if they react to 100000 seasons of an anime, the ratings would be even lower haha

Dustin Mikkelsen

I fell off that show after like three episodes, too slow for me.

Dustin Mikkelsen

I never watched that show, or your reactions to it, but yeah ... only you know your metrics, do whatever you think is best.

Christer Linde

Fair enough, but kinda depressing you’ll never watch anything niche that doesn’t get views

Miraaaaa M

Sad but understandable. I didn't care for S3 but S4 was significantly better IMO. hope you get to watch it on your own free time. Can I recommend IWTV or Pluribus? both phenomenal shows that many people loved. If you're looking for great but trendy shows, consider Heated Rivalry.

tony nazem

Bummer. But I get it…I guess. Westworld is a very special show. And you guys were great with your reactions. Have you watched the show on Appletv called Severance. I think you guys would love that. Mystery box television similar to westworld. Slow burn to start but will get so friggen good and it gets you obsessed like Westworld does. Pretty special show.

spartanandpudgey

we have watched Severance! all our reactions are on the channel :)

Jonas Doksaeter

I would still encourage you to watch the first episode, then decide.

spartanandpudgey

we will, it just depends what niche is. when S2 is struggling to hit 4k views and S3 will likely half that, it doesn't make sense for it to hold a slot and cost the production time and money. if the show is hitting at least 6-8k views consistently and has a core audience we always continue

Halofan117 Halofan

Completley understandable, it's a show that died and the online following is not rabid. I can only thank u guys for watching the best parts of the show, as I've been able to relive and rexperience why I loved the show so much

Haseeb Hassan

You should try LOST (2004-2010), it was the big show everyone talked about before Game of Thrones

La_Chipe

understanble. Last Season cancel, old, but still, i hope you will look season 3 and 4 together off stream. Lot of people raged about this but the end of season 4 is an opening but is also clear on what season 5 could have be. It is an end by itself. Thank you
