I have very little knowledge of fallout, however I have sometime in fallout 4 and 76, plus I have read the lore and watched some gameplay of the games, I may not be the most knowledgeable person when it comes to fallout, so my review will be based around an average viewer looking for something new to watch, has probably heard of fallout and a some what of a Christian perspective.
1) Characters: try too hard for the viewer to feel emotion towards them, they are going through the toughest times and expect viewers to be like " omg I hope things improve for this character ", to a character that is the most childish of characters and should of stayed in the vault.
2) stunts: the stunt work is awful, I understand this is a TV show and your not going to get top tier stunts on the show, but damn, the fight scenes are like two toddler trying to do judo and boxing with guns.
3) Unnecessary content: ghoul.....yeah this character is trying to be like Cad bane from Star wars and is failing horribly.
Vault dwellers are dumb?
Apparently so, despite having the records of the earth, they are as dumb and as a door nail in church. That doesn't even know your own neighbors? 😅😅😅
4) Action/Violence: I have seen better camera angles in a transformer movie.
Plus the violence is supposed to be humourous right?
5) Steel knights: they like the police or something, yah nah no narrative here, who are they?
6) actors: not a whole lot of A-listers here, but that is my perspective, so that is a good thing.
7) not bingable: some serious do a good job leaving with a cliffhanger to trigger the urge to watch the next episode.....yeah this doesn't do that.
So....guess what, this is how I felt just after 2 episodes.
I will watch it rarely, story is so easy to up, you can take years of this show and still know what's going on.
I hope things improve throughout the show, other wise this just more garbage we fill our heads with and think " oh this is Emmy material" 🙄 🙄 🙄
All it takes to entertain an audience is sex....that is it, that's what keeps people binging, is for more sex scenes.
