It seems a bit different than I remember (I was looking forward to how the cryogenic tanks looked darnit) although it does capture a lot of the general style/attitude of the game including the campy humor. Overall I'm enjoying it so far.

I laughed when the officer from another county said, "You can call me Medium Brown". ;-)

It gets better. Everything starts to unfold and it really picks up the pace towards Ep. 7 and the finale. Between The Ghoul, Maximus and Lucy, they have done a good job capturing the essence of what the game feels like to me. The Brotherhood of Steel, the aspects of being a Ghoul and how some of them can predate the actual fallout and Wars, and then Lucy, as a vault dweller. They got all of it right in my opinion. 

I never played the OG games before the company buyout but I played Fallout 3 and Fallout 4. This is geared more towards out west in California it looks like. I hope they can keep this series going for years to come. There's a ton of different locations, states and cities they can do this over and over with if they want to. Makes me want to dust off Fallout 4 now and play it on my PS5.

Yeah when they mentioned the community of Shady Sands I was like hey wait that's in the games.  I had to google which game it was in because I had forgotten that it was in part 1 and part 2 which part 1 came out in 1997, so it had been a while since I'd played those.  Also, when Bethesda bought the rights to the franchise in 2007 they changed the Brotherhood of Steel which is explained in game and in the show.  The leader of the Brotherhood proposing to Maximus that they start a new Brotherhood is the beginning of that arc I believe.  That new Brotherhood heads east and is the Brotherhood you know from Fallout 3 and 4.  The Brotherhood in parts 1 and 2 was very mysterious and wouldn't have had squires running with their armored knights in my opinion.  They didn't quite capture the Fallout 1 and 2 Brotherhood in this show, but this show was created in part by Bethesda who had no part in making Fallout 1 or 2 so they kinda tip their hat at it by referencing the change but made no real effort to get it right by 1 & 2's standards.  Great show regardless and not really a gripe just stating the fact.
