Seems to be getting good reviews. Thinking about trying it. How much does it hit you over the head with modern day bs though? Or is it mostly free of that stuff?
Fallout TV series being developed by Amazon

It did make me laugh a bit when Lucy was getting her kit off.. She seemed awfully tanned for saying she spent her whole life in the vault. Must have sunbeds..

Finished it last night, thought it kept up the quality throughout really well. Some cool revelations and twists and the ending was good. Let's hope season 2 isn't too long a wait!

By that do you mean a cast representing people who aren't straight and white? You really should 'try' not to get wound up by 'that stuff'.

I do think(hope) it was just down to budget and saving till they found out if it was going to be popular, they held back on the robots and creatures. Yeah we saw a gulper and some radroaches but no supermutants, no mirelurks, none of the other monsters and only a little glimpse at an assultron but none of the other robots.

I am only 4 episodes in but the lead women is actually pretty good. From the original trailers it did seem a bit woke and tick box but in reality she has that personality because she has been brought up in a vault which is a good touch. You can see her character evolving as she learns more about the wasteland.
The way the Brotherhood of Steel have been depicted as a bit of cult does seem a bit odd. They are more like Mandalorians in the game.
Its pretty good, only 3 in myself but there's no girlbossing/mary sue showhorned crap for the sake of it that the likes of rop or wot have. Only grip is that its a bit too clean/colour palette is more in line with say borderlands than the fallout universe, and some of the cgi is a bit ropey. Also BoS are 'wrong'.
agreed

Not quite what I meant.
I'm thinking more along the line of identity politics. Is the lead strong female character an obnoxious impossibly powerful Mary sue who puts all the snivelling men in their place
I get zero enjoyment from watching that.
If she's a believable character with good development and good writing, then I'm interested.

Ah fair enough, apologies for tarring you with 'that' brush.
As Junglist said, it's not like that, and it's super.
We did see a supermutant, ep3

Was just a fleeting shot of a green hand as a stretcher went past. Episode 2 I think.

Really enjoyed it and probably the best game to tv adaption to date.
Had the gruesome scenes and the humour. Thought the casting was spot on. Okie Dokie!

I'm enjoying this more as it goes on. The first episode annoyed me and took me several goes to get through but found it easier and more enjoyable as it has progressed.
I'm happy the reviews are good as I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.
I think the immediate vault 33 disaster, mystery box/conspiracy just irked me. It does feel like the only kind of story telling that gets made these days and it overused. A general comment on modern TV not just Fallout, can we not get a few episodes in before we have our conspiracy or upset the underlying premise.

I'm at episode 2 and it's just not hooking me in 
I was a massive fan of the original PC versions of Fallout, but I think people are just rating it 10/10 BEST EVER is just because it's based around Fallout
The black guy is completely unlikeable, doesn't have any acting skills and I'm sure will fall in love with the Fallout girl at some point 
... Because Diversity YEH!
The doctor had his leg drilled into, and yet he was hardly screaming in pain or at least fainting..
The female lead is as hot as hell, but I'm surprised she even made it out the vault
Not sure if the show is trying to be serious or a poor quality drama.. I mean seriously, it's Doctor Who at times
The mutant creature at the start, I've seen better cosplay outfits!
The only decent actor so far is the cowboy mutant, but how long will that last?

I agree with a lot of the things you say. Up until ep4 I felt very similar. It definitely gets better, so stick with it.I'm at episode 2 and it's just not hooking me in
