Randomly, clips of this show has been popping up on my YT recommended page. Checked it out on imdb, its got a 8.7/10 rating. I give it a 9.5/10 so far.

This is a Breaking Bad quality TV show. The writing and acting is phenomenal and on the same level. It's amazing to me how even though each episode is 25 minutes long and the seasons are short, that you quickly grow to care about all the characters.

The show is extremely addictive. Every episode so far (I'm on S2E9), has been a minimum 9/10. It's so fun to watch because of the things I mentioned above, but also because the protagonist acts upon everything I feel bad people deserve.

Everything from dialogue between great characters, the shots of Ray just doing normal daily things, and punching out some PoS for harrassing an innocent woman is just excellent.

Just feel sorry for all the people who have seen all the greats (BB, Dexter, Lost, GoT, etc.) and haven't heard of this show probably because it's Australian. I'm glad it showed up in my recommended on YT.

I've played all the Fallout games and have thousands of hours between NV and 3. When the show was first announced, I rolled my eyes. I didn't think it would do the games justice or respect it. But then I saw who was writing it, and who was acting in it (Walton Goggins), so fast forward a couple days ago.

The show has great writing, acting and directing. The characters are engaging and likeable (Maximus, Lucy, The Ghoul). The setting (and it's visuals) are extremely faithful and accurate to the games. At a certain point I almost took a screenshot because I thought I was playing a Fallout game.

The show is closer to 1, 2 and New Vegas because of where it is set. I badly felt like replaying New Vegas while watching the show. I'm one of the biggest fanboys of that game you'll find. Where it mixes in the modern games is the look of the Vaults, the terminal UI, and the general look of building/house interiors.

This show has better writing than any of the recent modern Fallout games. It simply does as far main stories and side quests go - things I ignore in favor of exploring and discovering the stories in the environment.

What the show does better than the games is the depiction of Ghouls. Things I'd just make swiss cheese instead of giving a second thought. But in the show, they show how dark and sad it is when ghouls are about to go feral. They were truly scary.

BoS is actually menacing and dark compared to the games. Knights wearing power armor have an ominous and awesome presence. In the beginning, it reminded me of the Sith in Star Wars. Take the armor off, and maybe things aren't what they seem. In the games, they are very, very boring and mediocre save for some personalities here and there.

The Vault story was told just as excellently as the games' many Vaults.

The intro of the show is better than the intro of any game besides New Vegas' intro (which is badass), for which it probably goes side to side with it.

Walton Goggins' character is incredible, even in the pre-war. He's one of the best actors of all time, I know this from having watched Justified 5 times or more.

My only criticism or thing I would change in the show is how a certain city came to its ruin. It could have come to ruin in a more "better written", more respectable way? But I suppose a lot of things happen in the games that aren't exactly described as respectful.

You don't need to play the games to enjoy the show, but you will get far more enjoyment if you have played all of them, especially 1, 2, and NV. You get the references, know all the enemies (Yao Guai, Gulper, Feral Ghouls, etc.), recognize the propganda. I like looking at items in the games, so I felt rewarded when I recognized the Salty Prospector Saloon's beans in the show.

It's the attention to detail that make Fallout great.

I like that the show is canon because it's the closest thing we'll get to a New Vegas sequel, but hopefully the next game can also go back to the West Coast and we can explore what the show left us.

Think Justified, but the main character (who is amazingly acted by Antony Starr), insteading of just arresting the culprit, brutally beats the hell out of them. This is a really fun show, with a good cast of characters, that honestly satisfies my desire to see bad people (and I mean really bad people) get what they deserve.

This show must be really underrated because it took me a long time to find it. Even the episodes that are rated lower than an 8/10 have been very fun and gripping to watch, because there's always something badass that the Sheriff does, like beat up some clown who thought it'd be a good idea to insult the integrity of a woman.

Obviously, there's a lot more to the show than that. An overarching main plot, the inner conflicts within the characters, the drama, etc.
