Only watched the first 2 episodes so far though loving this show, I own all the games from Fallout 3 onward though only played Fallout 3 and 4.

The series is leaning heavily into the third game from what i have watched which i am happy about as the 3rd game is phenomenal.

    Trailer for those who may not be familiar with the game or show, Fallout is from the team that brought us Westworld.

    Just watched episode 3, this show is outstanding one of the best I have seen in years.

    The show feels totally authentic to itself, and wow its visually stunning, it is one of the best looking TV shows I have seen.

    I definitely need to buy the soundtrack and score for this show.

    Episode 4 was brilliant horror, at times I thought I was watching Alien, this show is a masterpiece.

    Walton Goggins has created one of the greatest TV characters here.

    I think I love Lucy, such a badass.

    My friend and I have watched the first 4 episodes and loved every minute of it so far. The set design is so fantastic and ripped right out of the games. I'd love to visit those sets.

    Watching episode five now, this show is amazing. The practical sets are eye popping. Fallout 3 is one of my favorite games, they have totally nailed it with this show.

    OMG this is next level, one scene sent chills. This is one of the greatest TV shows I have ever seen, Jonathon Nolan and team are genius.

    @Murdock just watched episode 6, if they stick the landing this will be the best first season of any TV show. This is better than the first seasons of Westworld and Heroes.

    I cant believe which actor turns up in episode 7.

    I like that Dogmeat always
    follows the head.

    I probably have some recency biased as been playing the games, saying that i have watched a few of the episodes twice already. everything about the show is perfect for me.

    Prime made a mistake dropping it all at once, this show could have trended and been theorized about for a few months.

    I'm really trying to pace myself with it but it's very difficult. Watched an episode and a half just today.

    It's literally everything I've wanted from a Fallout show.

    Let's hope Netflix doesn't drop the ball with the eventual Bioshock film.

    I am completely unfamiliar with Fallout, how ya’ll feel it will play for someone not knowledgeable of the games ?

    It will be easy to jump on board, though just so you are aware it is very violent and quite bizarre at times, it also has a lot of political satire. The first ten minutes is a great introduction to what is going on and is good world building.

    The show is a fusion of retro future and westerns, if you like the 1950's you will love this show..

    Rewatched the show it just gets better, I hope there is a boxset I can purchase.

    Very happy to see this is hitting huge numbers on streaming viewer figures.

    The Fallout Season 1 viewing figures are absolutely INSANE, no wonder Season 2 was confirmed so quickly

    Loved everything about it. Especially
    the ending setting up season 2 as potentially New Vegas

    I have rewatched the first season, man Lucy is so adorable.

    They did an incredible job of capturing the games, Kyle MacLachlan is such a great actor
    there were a lot of Twin Peaks Season 3 vibes in that final episode.
