She's not pulling off the veteran Chairman of the Board. She might be a good actress but I just don't buy her in this role.

I don't either. Terrible casting for this role.

Add me to the list. She’s a lightweight.

I don't buy a lot of the casting in Westworld. There are only 4 actors who are good in their roles, and it's not TT.

I'm usually a fan of Tessa though, so I think it's just bad writing. The only reason why this show gets a pass is because of world building. But their actual character scriptwriting is terribly sub par.

Who are those four?

[–] ManToTrust (1660) 5 years ago

Ed Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Evan Rachel Wood, Jimmi Simpson.

Also, who TF is the cowboy Keanu Reeves? Lol.

the actor who played Peter Abernathy puts them all to shame

The entire series does a bad job projecting the future and relies on modern commercial television casting.

Watch Season 3 when they're in San Francisco and Los Angeles. The scenes there resemble a cliched luxury car commercial.
