They really matched the tone and aesthetic of the game's world design, especially liked the backstory of the ghoul and introduction of the NCR, the vault dwellers, the BoS. The world of game translated to the screen better than I could have imagined going in.
Overall pacing of each episode was nearly perfect, great balance between A and B plot lines and felt how they brought in backstories, primarily the ghoul really added depth to the character in a believable way.
As for the leads, I had no idea whom any of them were before this show, but they all nailed their roles. Ella Purnell pulls of the naïveté of the vault dweller, Aaron Moten gave humility to a BoS knight, and Walton Goggins as the ghoul steals every scene he's in.
The guest stars were quite good as well, as it was nice to see some familiar faces make cameos.
The only thing that gives me some hesitancy, is that with Nolan/Joy as executive producers, it could turn into another Westworld, a show that I absolutely loved at the close of its first season, and gave up after its second. I'm leaning towards that not being the case, as Fallout does have some deep lore and more fan service left to cover.
