I have been playing fallout since its inception. I recently started gaming on a gaming laptop now, so I've been porting games I had on my Xbox and PlayStation platforms to it - and Fallout 3 and 4 are the most recent things I installed. I'm almost finished with a replay of Fallout 4 on it, and so this show couldn't have come at a better time.
They got SO many things JUST right. It's not over the top, but it is not at all subtle. The look, the feel, the atmosphere, even the music, everything they did, they nailed it. I'm simply amazed at all the tiny little details that are here, that often aren't even in your field of view - you simply catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of your eye, and you pause, rewind a bit, and check it out. And yes, it was what you thought it was. Even those tiny little things they managed to get in here.
I get it, many people whining because it didn't follow the games and such. For me that's a bonus. That's what I would want. Otherwise I'm simply seeing something I've already played through countless times and know like the back of my hand.
No, this is fresh, but it follows the natural flow of what I would expect in this post apocalyptic world. It is the world I've come to love over years and years of gaming, through totally new eyes that caught everything.
Actors seem to be doing just fine so far, and they are introducing them and letting the viewer get to know them in bits and pieces as the story grows.
Normally with an adaptation like this, I can find something that bugs me. I've been bug free so far, this is simply a purely enjoyable ride, with amazing humor (I don't know how many times I've laughed out loud at something that was just so unexpected but was EXACTLY what you'd expect from the world, if you follow that twisted phrasing). It's dark, it has plenty of unexpected moments, and it is absolutely, 100% enjoyable. Everyone involved should be very proud of the product they've made.
