Why do people keep only mentioning season 1 of Westworld (which was just okay) when talking about Jonathan Nolan's solo works, when Person of Interest (which is legitimately great) exists?

Maybe your personal tastes don't align with the majority?

Person of Interest was a network show that was always on the verge of being cancelled starring two character actors. It was also a procedural for the first part of it's run, which makes it harder to convince hard sci-fi fans to watch it.

Westworld was an HBO prestige drama with a huge, extremely well known cast and a sizable budget. For the first two seasons it was very popular, and it was heavily serialized similar to Lost.

I also prefer Person of Interest to Westworld, but it makes perfect sense to me that it's not as popular.
