Watched the first 2 episodes.

Preston Garvey didn't once ask for anyone to save a settlement.

0/10. Absolute crap with no adherence to the lore.

Not only was it ugly, but it was the worst actor in the show. Amazon can't help itself.

Other than that, the 1st episode was pretty great (and I had pretty low expectations). We'll see if it falls off, but the production value is definitely there. It wasn't quite as funny as the games, but it was sufficiently funny when it tried to be (i.e. not many failed jokes). My biggest issue was that I still have no idea what was going on when those 3 guys "resurrected" Walton Goggins. It's been a while since I played the games, but it was really confusing. I don't remember the sane ghouls living in underground coffins.

I thought the first episode was great. The main girl Lucy is really fricking hot.

I remember thinking Yellowjackets would regret not using her more. She’s an absolute smoke and a pretty decent actress. She plays that happy go lucky pretty well for this character Episode 2 was a lot of fun. I’m shocked Amazon seemingly finally knocked it out of the park with an adaptation of a video game/novel.

This is what happens when you appeal to fans. Fans get overly excited as fans do, they tell their friends and family to watch, and the thing gets more popular.

I only played Fallout 4 and watched the first two episodes last night.

I really enjoyed it.

Love how they nailed the gun designs.

Watched they 1st two episodes and thought they both were badass. I was wide awake at 1 am after that second episode and couldn't fall asleep because I was thinking about the show.

Didn't realize until the credits that it is a J. Nolan/Linda Joy show. Westworld gets shitted on pretty bad but it was about as good looking of a TV show that has ever existed. It was a beautiful show. The production of the show is going to be top tier with those two behind it and I'm assuming they'll have some source to follow that isn't overly complicated. I was glad to see that it was those two doing the show.

Walton Goggins is just awesome in everything. He seems perfect for this.

Yeah, she's finer than frog hair. The show started pretty good, but now it's getting more interesting because they are finally starting to explore the fricked up Vault-Tec plans of each vault.

This, so far, is how you make a female lead.

Likeable, without the personality of an a-hole dude, and going through the same struggles as everyone else

I already see all the usual "for a modern audience" red flags. I'm into episode 3. There is a lot of really dumb stuff so far.

I’m usually right there with you but Fallout has had a bunch of different types of people since Fallout 3

Could’ve done without “Dane” but as least that character was sidelined quickly

The choice the Brotherhood guy made was my "holy shite they actually get it" moment from the first episode. It's really good. I had to turn it off at the end of the first episode. Doubt I would have slept binging all the episodes, just like getting lost in the Wasteland.

The insane belief that the small pool of writers' worldview is what everyone really wants so must be forced upon us until we learn

There is literally nothing that wouldn't be seen in the Fallout games so far outside of the tranny possibly (and even then you could have a gay marriage in Fallout 2 and there are multiple gay/lesbian characters in the game series, not like it is something out of the realm of possibility).

They have absolutely nailed the look, feel, and style of the series from what I've seen through 3 episodes. It has been absolutely fantastic all around.

The only minor quibbles I could see would be people that are hardcore about the timelines and locations in the show versus the games maybe not matching up perfectly, but that's not something I'm really concerned about personally.
