Happy to say that after a start I reeeeeeally wasn’t sure about, Fallout really starts to pick up around episodes 4 and 5. I have no idea why everything starts so quickly, these characters and this world could really use some building and background. Especially for people who don’t have any reference, I imagine it’s a bit confusing. The music and the world are phenomenal obviously, so many references and Easter eggs for fans. Feel a lot more confident in thinking this will actually be good now, Lucy is such a perfect character to introduce the audience to the world, she’s the best part of the show comfortably for me.
I’m just so confused why there wasn’t an episode before episode 1, it seems so obvious to me.
Edit: just started ep 6, well there’s an opening that should have been earlier in the show

IIRC the producers worked with Howard and the writers for FO4 to basically make the show follow a similar path to a video game, so that it could enter the canon
I’m taking it slow and am only watching 1 ep a night, so watched the first 2. Really enjoying it. As you say, the use of the the soundtrack is perfect

Just finished it, thought it was the perfect adaptation for a Fallout game in that it had emotional moments, some horror elements and enough wackiness all balanced out really well
8 episodes and not one single live Deathclaw though

Solid 9/10 for me, not sure if I read it here or on Reddit but the ghouls storyline is very much as close to the main character on the games as any one else. Just blitzing through the wasteland, not evil but willing to do what is necessary (would have detonated the bomb in megaton for the right price). I’m glad the brotherhood weren’t portrayed well.
Think there could have been a bit more action though, as Paul says, no death claw or super mutant (I know it was hinted in ep 2), no enclave threat really.

Will there be a S2? Haven’t finished it so no idea how it ends although I suppose they could just create a new storyline but I’d have thought they could introduce super mutants or deathclaws in a future season. Could always do a purely wasteland based storyline around the super mutants always nabbing humans as slaves for camps etc

Without spoiling anything it’s heavily implied there will be a second season but as far as I know nothing has actually been confirmed
It has made me download old Fallout games though so the series has more than done its job

I’ve played all the games but never the DLC. It’s all on offer on PS and Xbox currently, spent £40 yesterday and I’ve got the complete versions of 3, NV, 4 and 76 now. Hearing that 76 isn’t completely shit now either!

Put off exploring Point Lookout (3) and Far Harbour (4) for as long as, they’re absolutely class and worth saving. The Pitt (3) was great too if memory serves.
I never got into the DLC on NV although by all accounts Dead Money and Lonesome Road are meant to be the best DLC across the games in terms of scope and not being broken like Nuka World or the Anamatronics workshop in 4.
Thought the show was the complete 10/10, gonna give it a week and rewatch it just for the vibes
The meme about Maximus’ character being the Idiot Savant perk is perfect as well, I was surprised how much flack the actor is getting as I thought he was really good albeit no comparison to Goggins or Purnell who were both exceptional

People have found the social media profiles of the person Martha is based on. A lot of the original stuff is still publicly available. Most insane thing is the amount of people sending her things. How could you watch that and want to insert yourself into the path of those things.

Finished curb at the weekend.
I think this season wasn’t as strong as the previous seasons (could have ended after season 8 to be fair), it had more miss than hit episodes but there were some great moments, think the finale ended perfectly. Can tell Richard Lewis was in a bad way during the eps.
