Eh. Where do we begin?
Based on a game series I love and the show so far is great. Earns an 8.
Mostly because it doesn't seem to knacker the lore completely and at the most adds a wealth of characters that are worth following.
If anything it makes one like me ask questions and wonder - which is a good recipe in my book.
To the uninitiated to the games it's probably a weird mash of fun, confusion and maybe a bit of an acquired taste, but reckon it should prove fairly entertaining to the target crowd.
A lot happens, relationships are built, things get killed - run of the mill maybe, but a quality execution nonetheless...
...nonetheless - I'd say or hope season one is a testing ground for such an ambitious project. And it really seems to be as far as I can tell.
I can't deny that there are quite a few things from the game series I would have expected to see - such as: Energy Weapons - What, no lasers? Not even with the BOS being very prominent - Stealth Boy - Norm cudda used one?
More Creatures - A Gulper? Hmmmm... Robots - Just a Mr Handy? Hmmmm...
Yet... I get the constraints, no easy job pulling all of this off for the game fans. Only so much you can do.
Overall, it was properly entertaining with much to laud... Introduced new stuff to the lore that makes 'fair enough' sense, had quite a few great set-pieces and brought in characters that catch your attention -
Especially like Lucy - as if Level 1 on leaving the vault(s) and maybe Level 6 (?) by the end of the series.
Hope they continue this arc. Reckon she'll be a top level courier-like-chosen-one badass by the end... perhaps...
But til then... It's just season one and well worth a watch - and perhaps a rewatch too.
Maybe season two will earn a 9 but it will need lasers.
