The first episode really did what was necessary to get people hooked. Episode two was slow moving, and I nearly turned it off after the first twenty minutes. It wasn't until the show down in Filly that I decided it was worth finishing. Each episode after felt like the pace was all over the place: lots of slow bits, a few exciting parts, pretty meh. As I've never played the games, I went in blind, trying to figure out what was going on.
Overall, I think the show was done well, however I have issues with how open-ended it was. I know that cliff-hangers are meant to keep people intrigued, but as a writer myself I just think there was far too much unanswered. The whole season could have been longer, and the cliff-hangers could have been much tidier.
Aside from the annoying characters like Thadeous, who has the most punch-able face I've ever seen (shout out to the actor for playing the role well!), or the random Vault 4 filled with "mutated(?)" People, I'm not sure if playing the games would even answer any of my questions, as the show went in its own direction.
I will be watching season 2 in hopes that things get explained, because nothing is more annoying than a storyline that introduces a bunch of things just to pretend they never happened (here's looking at you, GOT).
The acting itself was really good, I think everyone did a great job portraying the characters for what they were. You know the acting is good when you have strong emotional feelings about the characters.
Overall I get why some people are hyping it up, and I get why some people are tearing it apart. I'm pretty in the middle right now, but visually the show was pleasing, and I really love the actors in it for how great they did, so I went with a 7 overall. Hoping season 2 knocks our socks off and goes for the 10/10.
