Weird. I really enjoyed it. Loved the characters, liked the story, and all the little nods to the games and fandom were nice and didn’t feel out of place. Probably one of the better adaptations I’ve seen.
Same. Ragebait headline.
Maybe the title was changed after posting, but it’s more reasonable on the actual article
“A bad TV show no one will remember in 3 months…”: Some Fallout Fans are Gatekeeping Pretty Hard after New Vegas Revelations and Retcons Send Them Over the Edge
They should have made one more episode to where after she gets out, they explain some of the factions, the monetary system, and where in the Wasteland they are. All in all, I liked it and can’t wait until season 2.
I’ve played all the Fallout games, my wife has played none of them. We are both enjoying it quite a bit so far, at least two episodes in.
Lol, bullshit. 94%/88% on RT.
The show is awesome, and has already been greenlit for S02. It would have been so easy to fuck this show up, but they knocked it out of the park. As an avid player of the games, I loved it! This reviewer doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
I think the show is solid, but I did notice at one point that it’s basically a reskin of Westworld and now I can’t unsee it.
I mean, naive girl gets the nature of her world redefined for her and is poised to become a revolutionary fighter? That happens.
A ruthless, cruel cowboy who isn’t a cowboy but plays one for a long time, has god mode on and looks like an actor you know was left in the sun for too long? Surprisingly specific, but yep.
Is actually based on a videogame full of NPCs? In different ways but yeah.
Beloved older actor plays a figure of corporate authority with a secret plan? Getting into stretch territory but I see it.
I still enjoyed it, though. Looks so much better than the trailers, too, and it took me a while to realize it’s because the trailers really had to hide the gore so they looked really cosplay-y. Hard to look cosplay-y with so many chunks flying around.
This is such a high level description that it is a meaningless comparison. The fact that Fallout doesn’t take itself nearly as seriously as Westworld is already a huge difference. Sometimes the implementation is what is valuable, not the idea.
I stopped watching in the first episode when the tiny girl beat up a muscular huge man.
Felt like avengers but she is supposed to be a normal girl right? I felt it was so dumb.
Beat up? Are you kidding me? She’s described as a combat trained woman in peak physical performance and she’s still being overcomed by the man aggressor. She succeeded in winning buy using a blender as a weapon, and that sounds pretty realistic to me.
I mean, as the previous posters have said, if this is supposed to be like a game, then sure. Anything is possible. But if it was reality, she would have no chance against that guy.
The obsession incels have with ensuring men are depicted as having a monopoly on physical violence has always been weird to me.
My friend described it with the phrase “reddit liked it,” and I immediately crossed it off our list
Imagine living your life letting reddit be your filter for meaningful experience lmao.
Touch grass guy.
I think the show is actually a pretty good adaptation.
Yeah I was thinking… would a Fallout show be goofy and colorful, or dark and horrific? Amazon said, yes. And it’s great.
Gamers are so fucking weird. Really enjoyed the show. Hope they make 2nd season.
Yeah this is the first I’ve heard of it being bad. Everywhere else, I’ve read it’s pretty good.

not so bad that Fallout fans won’t stick with it for butchering the IP.
Todd already beat them to the punch on that account.
