I never played the Fallout games or knew anything about them so I had no idea what to expect but I have to say that I've really enjoyed it so far. This show hooked me from the first episode and held my attention to the last. I binged the entire season in two days and was still hoping for more episodes when I was done. It seems like some of the people who actually played the games didn't like it as much but as long as try not to compare it to the game and just enjoy it for what it is...and that's an entertaining fantasy/sci-fi series. The series should be judged on its own and not compared to the game. The world building and cast are the best things about the show and I can't wait for more. I promise you'll have a blast watching this and will want to binge it as fast as you can.
Season one is very very good. Successful introduction to the series, while wraps half contained story part of it. Good start is important, as well as the finish, and so far, good start is what we got. Very good start mixed with excellent actually. All set up can easily be excellent, and there is room for improvements, which if, or when introduced, will propel this show to spectacular level, and with all that, it is also important not to have too long time gaps between seasons, that if, or when avoided, will also keep the high interest, and make this show go galactic, and with proper finish, to be known a classic, and remembered as such..
Let's wait, watch and see.

My thoughts on Fallout are hard to put into words. In my eyes, it is the most successful series adaptation of a video game. I also find The Last of Us great and it captivated me, but Fallout makes me addicted in a way that no series has done for a long time. The last time I felt this way was with The Mandalorian Season One, which was also a fantastic series. But Fallout is so incredible that I want to play all the games again and consume even more content from this universe.
The main story, in my opinion, is coherent, and there is a cool plot twist at the end that really shocked me. I learned more about Walter and the series itself, as well as the Fallout universe. It remains one of the best series of recent years for me. I hope they maintain this quality.
The series has humor, great music, and the soundtrack is truly top-notch. Songs like "We'll Meet Again" and "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire" are fantastic. I also fell a bit in love with Lucy. I find the actress great and she is just too pretty, but that's just a side note. I m simply enchanted.

I love the Fallout franchise, played all of the solo games as they came out and this show captures them. I can watch this show and feel the excitement I had playing the levels for the first time. The series pays homage to it all so far, and very well done in a way my wife who has never played one of the games still understands while enjoying the show. She can see my excitement and knows something is coming by my body language, but they did such a wonderful job bringing the world to life. We are looking forward to seeing more of these come out; I am looking forward to see some more enemies and friends appear on screen.
It took a while for it to click, but by the end of episode three I was hooked. As is often the case, the first two episodes feel a bit disjointed and expository. However, the characters are interesting right from the start. The two main characters in particular, with their naivety and chutzpah, are well drawn and strongly cast. Walton Goggins is the perfect antagonist, who initially comes across as a stereotype that is increasingly deconstructed over time. I don't know the video game at all, but the complexity of the story is impressive without being overwhelming. I'm really looking forward to season 2.
