So far so good and the reviews are reaching about it. So will keep watching |

Two episodes in. Really enjoying it so far. Little slow to start, but necessary for the world building. Been a long time since I played through any of the games, but they seemed to have nailed the world. Doing a bit of Leo pointing when I recognize something from the game.

I have a copy of the game somewhere; I remember it coming out and being interested. I never got into the RPG style games... Anyways, old mind wandering as usual...
The series is interesting; it does meander around a bit, however the characters and story are engaging enough. |

Finished ep 1 last night. Really enjoyed it.
Some tweaks and it looks like they’re mashing a bit of 3, Vegas, and 4 together. Is that how you all are seeing it?

I am trying not to read about this and convince the wife to watch with me. I just can't see how it could be bad.

finished this up.
this show has very good effects and great sound design. I loved the doppler effects on the choppers flying around. same with the scene where the power armor flies around, out of control, in Filly. the sound really added to the sight gag and set it over the top. this show is funnier than I expected too. Titus cracked me up when he announced that he wanted dropped off in a random spot because he was bored and wanted to shoot something. thats something every Fallout game player does

1.5 episodes in. This is so entertaining; the showrunners clearly love and respect the source material, unlike so many other worthless adaptations. Absolutely 10/10 so far.

Finished it up.
They absolutely NAILED how sinister Vault Tec was with the vaults, and getting to see how the vaults that were supposed to protect the last remnants of humanity became the horrific controlled experiments was awesome. Loved the gore in this, some of the kills were just jaw dropping and entirely unexpected to actually get to have in the show. Only thing that really stands out to me is the "pretty" ghouls. I'm not sure why the decision was made that they essentially made the ghouls a pink "Red Skull" from Marvel with a crystal clear sing-song voice, but it's certainly the most jarring and the biggest miss. Otherwise, this series is really well done. If only these guys had gotten to do The Witcher. The final shot in the last episode was epic.

I've got to say, this is pretty much as good as it's going to get. The last sci-fi show I enjoyed this much was the Battlestar Galactica reboot, and that's 20 years old now.
I've said before that I clearly no longer represent the entertainment industry's target audience. They almost always either don't give a **** about or straight up actively hate things I like or care about. Star Wars and Star Trek have been largely ruined, The Witcher was a botched, woke disaster, and even the up-until-now-great Villeneuve butchered Dune. But this was different. The target audience is people who played and loved these games. That's me. It's like they made this FOR ME, and didn't want to do anything to piss me off in the process. So that I personally would love it. ****, that's refreshing. Was it perfect? No. But goddamn, it's close enough. |

It's not a terrible idea though. I think I'll subvert their expectations by going from a die-hard fan to never giving them money again.
