I'm only two episodes in, and I like it even more than The Last of Us.

If they keep the quality up, this is one series that could keep going for years just on existing lore.

i finished it and i agree. i liked TLOU (show and lesser extent game), but Fallout had enough of the game’s…surreal?…humour that it bumped it from an “oh god this is a slog through human misery” (not in a bad way, per se!) to “miserable, but with bits of unexpected hilarity” for me.

both great shows - hope we get more like them!

Big take away for me is both stay true to the source material… minor changes but nothing over the top. The attention to detail in fallout is incredible, even down to the controls that open the doors in the vault.

So many shows just go so far away from the source they’re terrible.

I thought the inclusion of the even the hacking mini game in the terminal was another nice touch. I don't know why that one made me smile. Like you said, there's a ton of little details.

I'd be down with a Horizon show, God of War show, or Mass Effect show fully fleshed out like these.

I like it more than Last of Us personally.

I think it is incredibly mediocre. It's fine, but it doesn't really do anything for me. I still have some episodes left though.

Characters seem randomly chosen and development is with glacial speed until calving.

Gonna watch it through though.
