Westworld: 10 Biggest Twists - Ranked Worst To Best

7. Maeve Wakes Up On The Slab

Westworld Bernard
HBO

Episode: 2 - Chestnut

Shock Factor: 2/5

One of the better character arcs was that of Thandie Newton's Maeve. Some may have entered Westworld with a preconceived notion of the actress, but she soon shed it for a 2016 reinvention of her career. Going from randy brothel madam to gun-toting lunatic, the first big "Maevism" was when she remembered her past life as a mother, then woke up on the operating table wide open. It was both shocking and gory, what more could anyone want?

Sadly Maeve's revelations lead to the introduction of Felix and Sylvester - two of the show's worst characters. The twist cast questions on the security of the park, but if you let it slide, this is where Newton's character really grew. Hat's off to her, she did a great job, and Maeve will surely return next year to track down her daughter. Just where is Park 1 , Sector 15, Zone 3?
