Oh god I keep forgetting I still have to watch this..
Anyone who can tell me if it's any good?

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 27 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It is good. The first season is spectacular and sets everything up nicely.

Season 2 is good. It has way too many storylines so everything feels rushed and not as fleshed out as the first season.

boom hard cut to black ~next~ ~scene~

Sounds like Westworld. Which also had Aaron Paul join in the third season as everything fell apart

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

I remember Westworld going to shit in the final episodes of S1 and I made it maybe three episodes into S2 before I dumped the show. So I will take your word on S3.

With all that said, outside of Breaking Bad and BCS, his products are generally duds.

Maybe he needs to call everyone a bitch more often?

Easily one of the best video game adaptations we've gotten. If you like the games, it definitely won't disappoint.

Same here, the tone is all wrong

[–] PonyOfWar@pawb.social 7 points 2 days ago

It captures the feeling of the (Bethesda-era) games extremely well. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but it's a fun watch for sure.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

It's pretty amazing albeit very gory. Perfect adaptation of the game really (while still telling its own story).

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

In my opinion the plot dropped hard in the second season but it has a lot of New Vegas fan service so you might still enjoy it.

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 days ago

Depends. I don't particularly like it because it applies Bethesda writing to the Interplay setting.

There are some cool moments, though.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I've genuinely been enjoying it, lots of nods towards the video games. I occasionally use the free trial of prime to catch up on shows, and this is one of them

[–] jwiggler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago

I'm more of a TV show fan than Fallout fan, so I didn't like it too much. But if you like Fallout, I bet you'll like it. It's good Fallout, meh TV imo

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It's alright. It's pretty safe, and the writing is hookey. But it's decent enough for a watch.

I completely forgot they made a second season. That's how much of an impression the first season made on me.

[–] illi@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

People are singing high praises but as someone who didn't play the games it just didn't click. But I have a feeling I'd say the same about the games. The show is pretty high quality.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

I liked it, but you'll probably have to watch an episode to find out if you would!

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

War...war never changes...bitch!

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

please tell me he's a drug dealer.

[–] Arrandee@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

As if Fallout wasn’t enough of a big fat fuckin’ bummer already. Mister Pathos himself will make me feel even MORE guilty for enjoying it.
