    Man, I have no idea if this is gonna be good or not. I’m interested to see reviews.

      Watched the first 3 episodes so far. For me it feels like fallout universe in westworld/HBO “trying to be gritty and shocking”.

      Doesn’t scream amazing to me yet, but it has been fun so far.

        From the start I’ve been wondering if this show really needs to be anything more than what has been described in this thread.

          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.

            Sounds like what it should be! Glad to hear. I don’t have it at the moment but I’m sure I’ll get my sights on it soon. Thank you! :)

          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.

    Non gamer alert!

    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.
