Yes it's Fallout, yes the visuals are great, yes they got the theme almost right... but come on, like every series in the last 10 years this one also has horrible writers, cliches, pre-made dialogues, scenes that are copypasted from other shows, etc etc.
It gets annoying. The first Lucy scene opens up with the stupid-plot written all over it. Plot holes, logical things that nobody does because it would break the super thin credibility they want to create with the story. Yayy external visitors! But they all smell, they look bad, their manners are questionable. Nobody raise a question, but then the girl finds out they got radiation on them. So... nobody did a check before? They all had their pipboys on, were they all broken?
This is the disney version of fallout, where bad guys are extremely recognisable by the audience so they can scream "oh nooo watch oooout!" But I'm too old for this stuff, and that's why I liked the plot in the games: it wasn't straight black and white, it wasn't predictable, it was gritty and adult and always looking in the shades of grey.
Modern streaming shows are all like this, and I can't stomach them anymore.
