Bethesda's post-apocalyptic video game series is coming to the small screen, courtesy of the studio that brought you Westworld.
Sweet.

Its Amazon so I'm barely hopeful but looks like a lotta fun if the tone is well done. Never played these games myself.

This was great. Too bad PG Cooper will never watch it. On account of him hating video games. |

Hey ep 2 was cool too.
The binge model is ruining this though I'm sure tons of neck beards have already begun complaining about the wait for season 2.

I think people have grown accustomed to waiting two years in between seasons. TV is just mini-movies these days. However, they have complained about the inaccuracies. You’re only on episode 2, so you’ll get to that soon. The show deviates quite a bit from the video games. Maybe Dracula will get off his ass and watch the show to provide further insight into that. |

It is, if anything, too faithful for its own good. Fallout lore stops making sense the second you think about it for a second (1950s fashion and technology lasted hundreds of years before the apocalypse?). Works good as a colorful open world for a game, but makes less sense on a TV show. |

In one episode, it seemed like they were gonna subvert that, but then “the twist” at the end reverted back to Fallout lore. The whole 200 year thing is kinda silly. Feels like the show should have taken place 20 years later. |

Really enjoyed this. And I've never played the games.

I'm a Fallout fan all the way back to the original back in '97, and man, I loved this. I thought the tone was spot on, and just chock full of references and Easter eggs. They did a good job of ensuring that if you hadn't played a lick of Fallout before, you wouldn't be confused by what was going on.

First episode was pretty awesome. Yeah I liked it quite a bit. The opening was particularly good.
And yet, I have had no desire to go on to episode 2.
