The site's consensus reads: 'The Enemy' shifts its focus to Maeve with one of Westworld's most haunting and moving sequences - and an episode that balances character development against the constant promotion of numerous storylines. IGN's Eric Goldman welcomed the episode, saying, Thandie Newton has done a fantastic job all season, but this episode was a real standout for her because she skillfully played Maeve, preparing so much and handling so much. He gave him an 8.8 out of 10 score. Scott Tobias of The New York Times wrote in his review of the episode; Westworld has been thrown into the same TV-MA basket as HBO shows like Game of Thrones, True Detective and Rome, which have brought the network some criticism for its treatment largely of libidinous men. The difference is that Westworld has been, from the very first image of the show, studiously anti-erotic, despite the premise whose human subjects indulge in the thirst for the effects of free sex and violence. If you're fed up with, it's not a mistake on the part of the filmmakers. The A.V. Club's zack Hearn wrote in his review: The Enemy goes a long way toward restoring the faith I've lost in previous weeks. And he does so by focusing on the character you need as much as the mystery. He gave an A- episode. Liz Shannon Miller of IndieWire wrote in her review: There are some great sequences in this episode, and if we hadn't already pulled for Thandie Newton in the Best Supporting Actress category at next year's Emmys, we'd be sure it's like hell now. She gave the episode Bz. James Hibberd of Entertainment Weekly in my review: This is the reason I love Westworld. We think it's a show about AI. And that, to some extent. But what is surprising is how the plight of the hosts can give us a fresh perspective on what it means to be human. He gave an A-episode. Rebecca Hawkes of The Daily Telegraph wrote in her review: At times during this week's episode, The Enemy seemed like we were approaching a few answers that we so desperately crave. In other cases, we felt hopelessly lost, but in the best way. David Crowe of Den of Geek said in his review: While the episode as a whole was quite powerful, it painted enough to cost it a fifth star. However, The Enemy has been high-quality television in general, and there is no doubt a lot of fun (and answers) to be had in the first season of the last four episodes in the future. He gave the episode four out of five. Forbes' Eric Cain also reviewed the episode, saying: It's very much like a lull before a storm. At this point right before the wave comes crashing down, throwing everything in its path against the rocky shore. Again, we're only six episodes deep. Judging by the restraint shown so far, we may have another episode or two of growing mystery, rising tensions, and occasional acts of crazy disturbing violence before everything explodes.

External Links Science Fiction TV portal Enemy in HBO.com Opponent on IMDb Enemy on TV.com Extracted from (Westworld) a large Easter egg, The character is in danger, and the heartbreaking sequence of Your Westworld recapper is currently traveling so this week's post will be a little shorter than usual, but there are a few moments I feel particularly strongly about. Maeve marches the guest upstairs and taunts him in suffocation-death-sex. I'm not sure we had to find this scene, causing either repulsive or both. And what does Maeve have against the beds, anyway? It's all about sitting on safes and dressers during death-sex. Maeve then wakes up in a body shop backstage where Lutz doesn't so gently explain that she's a robot and they're real. How do you know? Maeve asks that's a damn good question. There's a theory that everyone on this show is secretly the host, although I personally don't believe that (mainly because it would make the story less interesting, but also because the body shop dorks wouldn't secretly prostitute the hosts and tell Maeve it all if they were under Ford's control).
