My overall view of the show is that if you like Bethesda's games, which are by far the most financially successful thanks to their console exposure, you'll probably like the show. If you favor the original Black Isle games (as I do), the show will become irritating with how fast and loose it is with well-established facts. I saw something about Shady Sands being located on the outskirts of L.A. or something like that, which...Shady Sands in Fallout 1 and 2 is many miles away in Nevada, built entirely in the desert after the war. Lucy is perfectly fine as a protagonist. People accusing her of being a Mary Sue or something are sadly suffering from derangement. I do think it's unintentionally hilarious that in this dreary post-apocalyptic future, people are still respecting pronouns and demanding that others check their privilege. The portrayal of the vaults bugged me because I think it misrepresents their actual purpose as experiments rather than preservation measures. Only a very few of the vaults are controls, so to the extent that surface people are familiar with vault dwellers, they would be more likely to associate them with insanity or general weirdness more than being rich and privileged. There's also the issue with Lucy's vault being in L.A. and the door being plainly above ground. I know the show doesn't want to get into nerdy lore details, but they are making a big deal out of it being canon and, well, the Master's vault was in L.A., too, and he and his army were scouring for vaults they could crack open to use for super mutant conversion. How could they have missed something so obvious? The show really should have picked another setting, maybe somewhere like Colorado or somewhere in that region. Ehhh, the Brotherhood originally were supposed to be isolationist technomonks who hoarded technology with the idea of doling it out to the right people at the right times to help the human race get back on its feet. They basically were the Order of St. Leibowitz but with some powered armor and guns they'd scavenged and cleaned up. Bethesda seems to have become enamored of them in their games and have jerk them around to whatever purpose they please at a given moment. I guess it's not technically wrong of them to become some kind of radicalized, above-ground marine corps, but they're just far afield of how they were conceived. This is one of my biggest issues. Aside from my fannish nitpicking, I just don't like how indifferently plotted it is. I think perhaps it would have done better to focus entirely on Lucy and have the show unfold from her POV alone. She can meet Maximus, the Ghoul, and everyone else but on her time. Fallout tends to work best when it follows a player-character who discovers the world along with the players. Well, the Master was a big bad, as were the Enclave. The nature of the Enclave, essentially being the remnants of the pre-war deep state, would seem to make for a perfect villain for the show but they apparently didn't do that...even though the Enclave are in the show...? *shrug*
