I haven't played Fallout, so I can't compare to the game, but this was immensely enjoyable as an adapted video game. It felt like a perfect balance between a stand-alone series and gameplay-- there were times that I could really feel the video game vibe in the exploration of a new space or on a mission to retrieve an object, but it was so well integrated that it enhanced the viewing experience, rather than detracting from it.
The humor was unexpectedly good, and I loved the juxtaposition of the mid-century modern aesthetic and music with the dystopian landscape and technology. They combined to give a sort of zany, modernized steampunk feel, similar to Legion, but less serious.
Walton Goggins was exceptional, as always. He really elevated his role, and Ella Purnell was a delight. I thought the Maximus storyline was rather weak, but I don't know if that was from the acting or writing. The only other quibble was the lack of true peril; I never really felt like our heroes were ever truly in jeopardy.
Very much looking forward to more!
