My friend described it with the phrase "reddit liked it," and I immediately crossed it off our list

If the best description of something can only be broken down to "reddit liked it" then either the person doesn't know how to describe anything, or that's an accurate description in itself.
I watched the first episode and found it not interesting. Certain things were good and others bad, but I just didn't care and was waiting for it to end.
Apparently I'm in the minority as fans seem to flock to defend it. To each their own.
I'm not a "fan", haven't played the games, other than some of the shitty mobile one, but knew some of the lore.
Just binge watched all episodes... and judging all of them by just the first one, is a mistake. There's much more to the show than what amounts to a basic introduction.
But to each their own, as you said.
That's fair. I just figured when they introduced the characters and world building and I didn't find most of it interesting, then the following would be similar.
The following is somewhat similar, but it keeps changing, and there is a decent evolution of the characters (hard to pull off in just 8 episodes, but they did it). Basically it's 3 shows in one: in-vault, surface, flashbacks. Each one has its own conspiracy, which all come to a joint conclusion at the end, with a slight cliffhanger for the second season.
It's not the best show I've ever seen, but I'd say they did a good job.

I've finished 3 fallout games but fortunately don't remember any of it well enough for any of this to mean anything to me so I can just enjoy the show.
Same... but the caveat for me. I remember the gameplay and main story of each game...i can't for the life of me remember any of the flavor text/ world text... so little details that the series gets wrong will likely not erk me like other shows have in the past.
I'm only a couple episodes in at the moment though... who knows, watching might spark all sorts of memories.
They should have made one more episode to where after she gets out, they explain some of the factions, the monetary system, and where in the Wasteland they are. All in all, I liked it and can't wait until season 2.
On the Prime Fallout site, they have a bunch of extras and bonus content that explains a lot of the background stuff like that. It’s kind of neat. You should check it out.
Its a great show and Im enjoying it despite the massive, glaring world consistency issues.
Like what the hell happened to the NCR?
Or, you know, the lore of all of the games outside of Fallout 3 and 4.
Its painfully clear that Todd is salty that the worst two games in the fallout series are 3 and 4. So he's erasing the pre bethesda games and the best game(that respects the original lore), New Vegas.

According to my Steam stats I played the 3rd one for about twenty minutes. The game engine seriously hurt it. The show was worth watching because it had nowhere to go but up.

I stopped watching in the first episode when the tiny girl beat up a muscular huge man.
Felt like avengers but she is supposed to be a normal girl right? I felt it was so dumb.
It's a video game show that uses the rules of the video game world.

I played the games. I think the show's sets and designs are good, but I can't get into it. It just feels like sequalitis with no soul.
i am a big new vegas fan, and follow a lot of youtubers and other parts of the fandom - I havent seen this backlash against the show this article mentions? Most NV fans are pretty happy with it that Ive seen.
Maybe this is only happening in the more toxic circles?
Anything I should be aware of if I decide I'd like to give it a watch?

Best thing in the show was the mistery of vault 31 and the solution was extremely underwhelming. I think people just need time to digest. I hate Maximus.
I agree, it's not very good.
