Actually only thing that it doesn't have are your good guys and the bad guys. Motivations, goals, intentions, events, are left rather ambiguous or open to interpretation, thus people can see what people want to see, and one can only combine that with previous knowledge of Fallout, then to realize how overarching story has much more depth than it would appear..
Other than that, on the surface, where the show is much fun and also distracting, has pip boys, stimpacks, junk jets, unreliable narrators, several factions are introduced or slightly introduced, some hinted yet to be.., shortly said, has everything..
With all that, and with just a little bit effort and luck, season 2 will be another banger..

First of all, just to be clear. When I played through Fallout 2 on PC in the late '90s, I fell in love with RPG games. I always dreamed that one day Fallout would be turned into a movie directed by Spielberg, because I loved his sci-fi films. It doesn't matter that it never happened - the series gave me exactly what I always wanted: a fantastically rich and beautifully ugly post-apocalyptic world. The creators of the show truly understood this world with care and depth, and the result is amazing. The best video game adaptation in the history of cinema. I'm really looking forward to season two. Christmas is going to be hot.
Ouality tv, genuine and true adaptation that expands the world. Very well done, and Well Done!
Everything is as should be. Characters we "meet" are exactly as those we encounter in games. Feels like Fallout, and looks, sounds and performs like high quality show. Amazing stuff.
Plot, story, side stories, etc, all spot on.
Athough as first season is setting for a longer series, overarching main story, doesn't rush to explain itself, and instead relies on steady build-up combined with some knowledge of the source material, can occasionally be a slight problem for some. Other than that, no major issues with Fallout TV Show.

Actually very very good show. Nine-plus for me, at least. Actually does everything, or overwhelming-most right..
Walton Goggins mostly seems to appear and work with good stuff, and so here he is with Fallout, and the way he plays two characters one person, is just so good and fun, and serious and sad, all at the same time. Goggins is great, and The Ghoul is too.
Lucy, surprisingly isn't bossy, nor immediately successful in everything. Instead, she is likeable character, does the best she can with combination of her knowledge, skill, training, mindset, worldview, and how it all works in practice, faced with reality, while learning in the process.
Maximus is that guy that "does the right thing", or at least he believes so, while having that dose of "selfishness", which is just the trait of a Surfacedweller. He also idolizes the Brotherhood, gets disappointed on his first field mission, facing reality.
Interesting how Maximus and Lucy are going through similar arcs, also joined by previously Cooper Howard now the Ghoul, seen through character's flashbacks, which also serve telling some story, and connecting parts told..
Good stuff !

Caught a news several days ago that Ron Perlman joined Fallout TV show, and that he is in, and will appear in season two...
Don't know what type appearance and role, regardless, the news if true, and likely is, as Ron himself indirectly floated it, is a great great news for the show.
Don't get me wrong, season one is very good, but there is room for making the show better, while also, as we all previously witnessed, shows can become lesser..
So far the announcement for season two with the dance performance looks like the definition of understanding the assignment, and Ron Perlman news add to that, making it all even more promising..
