It’s surprisingly good. Two of the leads are really good. The other one gets better as the show goes on. The prop and stage design is as close to 1:1 that you can get, which is impressive.
It kinda fizzles out at the end, but the journey is a lot of fun. Definitely recommend it.
I haven’t watched it, but my understanding is they fucked up the NCR. Someone on rock-paper-shotgun described it as “Bethesda wants fallout to be kitschy mad max and nothing more”, and that felt pretty apt. But again I haven’t watched it so I’m just second hand griping.
Ehhh kind of? After watching it, it feels a lot more like they want to show the rebuilding of the NCR, so I wouldn’t exactly say they did things to the NCR just because they wanted a more Mad Max Apocalypse style.
That’s pretty much it. Bethesda hand-of-gods Fallout to never develop too far, for an eternal shantytown aesthetic with super mutant orcs and Brotherhood everywhere.
I (unrelatedly) finally started playing new Vegas just a few days ago. Is the show any good?
It’s really freaking good somehow.
It knocked my stupid socks off… although I wasn’t sure how the concept could even work

Agreed on all counts. Last episode was the weakest, in my opinion, but overall is a very good show.
Out of curiosity, which one do you think gets better?
Max. I couldn’t stand him the entire first half of the season. Lucy and especially Goggins were great throughout.
