    It’s just the first season. Witcher season 1 was good too

      Fallout is a series filled top to bottom with passionate fans of the games. The Witcher was… very much not that.

      If you’re skeptical, watch Tim Cain’s (Game director of Fallout 1) videos about the show and meeting the people who made it.

        Director and Executive Producer Jonathan Nolan was also heavily involved in Westworld, which had exactly one good season before it shit itself to death. Also this is Amazon Studios which produced both Rings of Power and Wheel of Time. Executive Producer James Altman, has one other credit: Associate Producer for Super Troopers 2. In fact most of the writers and producers have poor resumes.

        I’m hopeful but not naive.

      Are fans of the series liking season 1? I thought it was kind of not great…

      Edit: Just to clarify, any issues I have with the show are completely unrelated to it not being faithful enough to the source material, or for it being “woke” or some stupid bullshit… It’s merely just a taste thing regarding the visuals, pacing, dialogue… Maybe it’s just a general trend for TV shows, but it just has this… look to it, that I’m not a fan of. I can’t really describe it much more than that. Everything is so goddamn shiny (despite being post apocalyptic ) and I found it super distracting for some reason.
