      It is good. The first season is spectacular and sets everything up nicely.

      Season 2 is good. It has way too many storylines so everything feels rushed and not as fleshed out as the first season.

        Sounds like Westworld. Which also had Aaron Paul join in the third season as everything fell apart

          I remember Westworld going to shit in the final episodes of S1 and I made it maybe three episodes into S2 before I dumped the show. So I will take your word on S3.

          With all that said, outside of Breaking Bad and BCS, his products are generally duds.

      It captures the feeling of the (Bethesda-era) games extremely well. I wouldn’t call it a masterpiece, but it’s a fun watch for sure.

      I’ve genuinely been enjoying it, lots of nods towards the video games. I occasionally use the free trial of prime to catch up on shows, and this is one of them

      It’s pretty amazing albeit very gory. Perfect adaptation of the game really (while still telling its own story).

      In my opinion the plot dropped hard in the second season but it has a lot of New Vegas fan service so you might still enjoy it.

      Depends. I don’t particularly like it because it applies Bethesda writing to the Interplay setting.

      There are some cool moments, though.

      I’m more of a TV show fan than Fallout fan, so I didn’t like it too much. But if you like Fallout, I bet you’ll like it. It’s good Fallout, meh TV imo

      It’s alright. It’s pretty safe, and the writing is hookey. But it’s decent enough for a watch.

      I completely forgot they made a second season. That’s how much of an impression the first season made on me.

      People are singing high praises but as someone who didn’t play the games it just didn’t click. But I have a feeling I’d say the same about the games. The show is pretty high quality.

    As if Fallout wasn’t enough of a big fat fuckin’ bummer already. Mister Pathos himself will make me feel even MORE guilty for enjoying it.
