So, no, it wouldn't have been fine. The accolades you want to put on it are way too premature since it hasn't even told its story yet.

Disagree to some extent. I think Westworld season 1 would have worked great as a standalone. It was one of the best first seasons of any show ever. Now they have to not squander that.
Through 5 episodes of season 2 there has been some good stuff, but in comparison, by episode 5 of the first year I was mesmerized.
The best comparison I've heard so far is Lost Season 2. They just didn't know how to continue their story and started to make missteps. They still landed some great scenes and episodes, but overall things started to go the wrong way. Hopefully they get things back on track and have a better idea of where they want to on this one than Lost did.
