I’ve the opportunity to watch it and i want to know if it’s worth it or not, because game-based shows are known to be not that great.

Edit : at the moment i write this, im at episode 3, they seems to have respected the game’s lore even if i disagree with the cause they choose in the scenario to force the hero to left the vault.

    So far so good 3 episodes in.

    The look and feel of the world is great.

    The characters are pretty believable.

    Writing is good so far.

        I feel like the protagonist reminds me playing the original Fallout games. You’re on the move and it’s real easy to die. You aren’t some immortal god.

    Basically binged through everything but the last episode and it’s really good. I was skeptical that the concept could even work, but it’s knocked my stupid socks off.

    It constantly makes me smile, whether it’s being smart, the actors are giving perfectly calibrated performances, or the action suddenly goes wham-bam VATS over the top.

    3 eps in. Happy.

    Great show so far. We used to complain about how Hollywood would change everything we loved from a game series, when translating to the screen. This show literally takes place within the canon of the games, and shares every bit of lore and design that games do.

    I’ve watched the first season (8 episodes) and I think it’s pretty good. I personally think the first episode was a little slow getting into things. If you don’t know anything about Fallout it may be a bit confusing at first because they don’t really explain much of the Fallout lore or how things work in that world, but it mostly all comes together by the end of the season.

    Apparently they’ve already greenlit a second season so that’s awesome, I’m just sad we’ll have to wait until probably next year to see it.

    It’s extremely good. They really knocked it out of the park. It’s already been renewed for season 2.

    Watched 6 episodes and I think I’m done. It’s boring and very contrived and simply written. I’m not enjoying any of the characters or performances either

    The prop and costume design is well done. That’s about it

    Also, they erased the New California Republic despite setting the show in California. Not sure why Bethesda hates ideas that they didn’t personally create, but it’s very off-putting

      The NCR plays a big part in the show. I think that revelation is in episode 7 though.

      I agree on the plot being contrived, but I still enjoyed it regardless. That could just be because I’m a huge fallout fan though.

    Having a hard time sticking with it, partway through episode two. It seems very tropey and cliched, which I guess is part of the feel of the franchise. For some reason I don’t feel drawn into the story.
