As a gamer, I find it pretty embarrassing looking at some of the 1 or 2 star reviews that seem based on idealised visions of a game from 27 years ago. It's not 1997, folks, you can step out of Vault 13 and look at the world around you and see how it has evolved.
Placing the games to one side, this is a highly enjoyable series. The main cast members are great in their respective roles - I particularly enjoyed Walton Goggins but all three inhabit their characters well. The large array of side characters also provide plenty of interest and there's some really tight performances throughout the 8 episodes.
The visual effects range from stellar to just acceptable. This is a tv programme though and not a $400m, 2-hour, blockbuster, movie so it may be advantageous to set your expectations accordingly.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that this is received well by the general viewership and that we can see this pushing into further seasons - it'd be a real shame if the opinions of some review-bombing or gatekeeping gamers affected the future of this satisfying show.
