Obviously this is all just to get you to subscribe to Prime though, so don’t do it unless you can get a free trial or if you were going to do so anyway!
Started watching and have only see one and a bit episodes so far. I fell asleep so will have to go back to episode one and catch up.
Bearing in mind I know pretty much zip about the Fallout universe other than when I’ve seen it mentioned online, it looks pretty good from here - there’s definitely a lot going on and it’ll take a couple of watches before all the little details are picked up.
Seems to me to be a fun programme that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Hope it continues.
It doesn’t, it isn’t, and it works so well because of that.
I’ve finished the season now, and I think it was a really great adaptation. Just the right amounts of fan service and hoakey camp, just like the games are to their predecessors.
Agreed. I'm only two episodes in so far and it's just been a fun adventure set in the Fallout universe which is exactly what I was hoping for from the series. I don't need or even want an amazingly deep and thought provoking plot from this series so it's been basically exactly what I wanted so far.
Yeah that was our take away. Overly gory, very little of the humor from the game. My wife abandoned it after 3/4 an episode (too much gratuitous violence for her) and I probably wont both with the rest
If you love that sort of hard core violence graphically depicted, with imaginative effects such as pushing a gun into someones head, and then shooting a hole through that (briefly) still live persons head, killing a few more people this may be your cup of tea.
It’s kinda like a popcorn movie so far (ep 5). Enjoyable, obvious, fun. Campy. So violent it’s not.
I can’t recall any time Fallout was overly serious or, “hit home.” Maybe Cait’s companion quests in FO4? The “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep” mission in FO3? Even those examples are just well-told stories rather than emotional rollercoasters.
