Really good show. I'd give it a 4.5/5 if possible, but, a 4/5 will have to do. In a scale of 1-10, it'd be a 8.5 or 8.75. I wish there was a little more meat in the earlier episodes and a little more resolution in the end (emphasis: a *little*) regarding a plot point or two, but, the second half of the season is dynamite. They take some liberties on Fallout lore and definitely expand on it to some extent. Some of these liberties grinded on me a little, others I didn't mind or totally understood why they made them, or even appreciated them. To the guy who posted a 1/5 review (Colin something), that review is ridiculous and elitist as hell, lol. Saying "vaults aren't llinked" when there is no reason they can't be, as it has never been stated that such an experiment *couldn't* take place. Or that the BoS doesn't have an airship/vertibirds, even though Fallout 4 shows them. It's almost like some people don't consider Bethesda's Fallout games to be canon, which is hilarious. This show is *slightly* overhyped in my opinion, as I thought it'd be at least a 9 or 9.5, but, it has potential to be even more than it was, and it was DEFINITELY worth the watch. The twists were pretty great. The horror aspects in the last couple of episodes were gripping and effective. I hope they make the Brotherhood just a tad more sympathetic, but, at the same time, I really hope they don't overcorrect it. The Brotherhood in the Fallout TV show is much closer to how I'd like them to be than, say, the Fallout 3 Brotherhood. Fallout 4 was just about as perfect of a depiction as I can cite, despite that game having so many backbreaking flaws. I mean, (spoilers), the Brotherhood of Steel in New Vegas knock you out and equip you with a slave collar armed with an explosive if you just happen to walk into their bunker. Fallout 3 had the Brotherhood acting very uncharacteristic, but, if there was one thing it did OK, it did show that the Brotherhood isn't inherently bad for the Wasteland like the Enclave or Caesar's Legion would be. They are rational to some extent. As they say in the show, "the Brotherhood is a complicated organization". The attention to detail could be a little higher, as some people have pointed out. I also think the show would benefit from more of the writers having played at least two of the games. The Brotherhood of Steel is back in mostly good form. A few people dislike how they were handled, but, if you paid attention to Fallout 3's Outcasts, Fallout 4's Brotherhood and New Vegas' Brotherhood, you'd see that they aren't *much* better than their depiction in the show. I'm interested in the implication of the narrative on the total of the NCR. The Ghoul was fantastic. Walton Goggins played his role well, as did Ella Purnell and the other major players in this season (that I have, unfortunately, forgot the actors' names of).
