Most things are watchable if you don't actually watch them

If you mean Walton Goggins, then yes.
Much like your posts, they are background entertainment, largely works of fiction. Solid 5/10

I tend to make dinner and such when watching some shows and I would suggest this isn't a good show for doing other things. Part of its appeal is its visual element.

I enjoyed it as a whole, looking forward to series 2! I have never played the Fallout games, so downloaded Fallout 4 and enjoying it so far as well!

Yea I finished it.
I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't say it was amazing, but it was much better than I had anticipated it would be.
I liked the back story and how it jumped back and forth present to past, although as many have said Maximus 's character/actor wasn't great.
I also liked how they didn't make it too OTT in terms of action and CGI, could have EASILY ruined it, but actually it fell back to more traditional scenes and human acting.
Looking forward to a second though, I think potentially if they just sort a few bits out it could be really good going forward.
6/10 maybe.

I'm late to party but I really liked it.
Pretty over the top.
3 very good main characters, well Maximus was a wet blanket but....
Great rendition of the game , at least Fallout 4.
Good stuff, did well with a story too.

It's literally set in a waste land or an anonymous vault it gets samey very quickly.
The only visually bad bits are the desert bits

We're going to have to agree to disagree.

I've just finished watching it and mmmmm it was okay, wasnt ground breaking maybe a little overhyped. If I didnt already have prime to watch it would I have paid just for that i think not. Entertaining yes, exciting not so much.

On episode 5, and yet to see any adverts

finished my second watch of the series
Fallout 1/2 are some of my favorite all time games, great years of gaming so this series hit the spot for me.

Just finished it. On the whole quite good. I'm sure I missed loads of stuff by not playing the games, but the story was good enough that I don't really mind.
Still quite a lot of questions to answer, but reading online season 2 was already confirmed on April 18th (even before I started watching!).
Definitely a 7-8/10 show, which I will definitely re-watch prior to season 2.
Maybe I should go back now and try other shows where I skipped them cos I hadn't played or enjoyed the videogame....Halo, Twisted Metal, The Last of Us are recent ones I can think of.

Start with The Last of Us, it's fantastic.
Associate
I love the games, and loved this too. 8/10 for me.
Definitely give The Last of Us a go.
Halo......I enjoyed parts, but for me missed the spot.

Might have to try this one next as
It keeps getting recommended even if you haven’t played the game.

Just finished - overall probably a 6/7 out of 10 - was reasonably well paced I would say, and kept things ticking along nicely. Quite a lot of reveals packed into the last episodes, maybe some of them could have come a bit sooner for better context, spacing things out rather then dumping it all in the last episode.
I've not played the games so did have to go and check on some of the things after episodes to understand the reference - maybe I had just missed it in earlier episodes or forgotton.
Would look out for a series 2
