Dramatic irony is when the audience knows more than the characters, right? What's the opposite, where the writers and characters always know more than the audience? It feels like Westworld leans on this a lot, with some revelation designed to click things into place as to what the characters have gone through, or why they're acting the way they do or why they've made certain decisions.
Not sure it works as well as intended. But I'll give this season a go, no question.
