This first season ended up being one of my favorite seasons of tv Iāve ever seen. It went from me hoping itād be good then completely obliterating my expectations. I think it being its own story in the universe really benefited it.
Jonathan Nolan has seriously been underappreciated for his work especially relative to his brotherās acclaim, he was crucial and brilliant throughout his career and Iām glad heās starting to see more recognition.
Completely agree, I see the comparisons with TLoU and while I donāt like comparisons and I think that show is great and high-quality, so much of it is a retelling of an already laid out story structured like TV, the heavy lifting was done by Naughty Dog originally not the show/HBO, while this Fallout show is more a standalone extension of the universe thatās done absolutely brilliantly and faithfully to the world and vibes of the IP, that takes immense hard work and brilliance from the creators.
Finished it now, really enjoyed it - the Vault where punishment was banishment but āweāll give you a few weeks of supplies and carry them out for you, weāre not monstersā genuinely had me laughing out loud.
I finished it on Saturday and itās definitely one of the best TV series around, and my favourite videogame adaptation. Itās really got me wanting to learn more about the Fallout universe, which Iāve neglected for a long time, depite owning all the games!
14 minutes in and sheesh man, already loving it. You can feel the atmosphere, everything IS as it should be. You can see that the creators of this love the games, and paid attention to the smallest details. The vault looks fantastic too. The humor is on point and the main character, I already dig her. You could sayā¦
The mudic, the sound overall, the acting, the story so far. The BoS looks awesome, they nailed this.
I legit got chills a few times during the pilot. I guess I love Fallout that much and seeing it done so well, absolutely against my expectations. I definitely get why a lot of people decided to go play the games again, shit, I want to too.
I played it a bit around launch, which was horrible. It has improved immensely since then! Lots of stuff to do so just trying to get my bearings atm, but itās great so far.
