Fallout : TV show
Discussion
Finally finished this over the long weekend and can highly recommend. Pretty much all the characters were good, just the right blend of humour and gore, captured the fallout style to a 't' and had enough easter eggs in there (I was watching with my son who is a Fallout fan) to please the fanbase. Great to see Poncho in there too 
They even managed to tie up most of the storyline loose ends (there are a few obviously kept back for S2) which looks like it's going to be set in New Vegas!

Have also just finished it. I really don't understand why they released it all in one go, it would have kept me subscribed to Prime for as long as it went on!They even managed to tie up most of the storyline loose ends (there are a few obviously kept back for S2) which looks like it's going to be set in New Vegas!
Probably one of the best adaptations of another medium I've seen. It took all of the lore and actually enhanced it, both filling out the past and writing a new future.
Destroying Shady Sands was a masterstroke, a real gut punch for players of the games. I felt Maximus maybe suffered from confused writing in the beginning as his intelligence seemed to fluctuate, but by the end I was totally on board with him and his character arc is one of the most complete in terms of how he's changed from shallow opportunist to jaded soldier burdened with a conscience.
Lucy MacLean went on a full Fallout vault-dwellers journey and while the show doesn't need to follow the same cast or plot at all, really, I would definitely be up for seeing her mature into a lethal weapon in the pursuit of her Dad.
After so many failed franchises that have been destroyed by terrible writing, it's truly heartwarming to see that the industry is still capable of making great shows with intelligent scripts and great characters.
The main plot was great
