I finished it last night, it was okay. Not bad, but not great, say 3 out of 5.
The good: sets looks good, you could tell they put some money into the series. Goggins stole the show. I kind of enjoyed the flashbacks more than the post bomb story. Vertibirds were cool. Some of the minor characters were more interesting than the main characters. Not so good: honestly I thought it was kind of boring for a Fallout story. Not enough gun play, the gun props looked lame, and just not enough guns from the games. Lucy used a tranq gun through most of the series, Maximus just used a 10mm and Goggins had his stupid cowboy guns. Lore wise it was hit or miss, for example how did Lucy know what a BoS Knight was? BoS were douchebags, but I supposed that is kind of lore correct. Bad: humor fell flat, I maybe chuckled a couple times. Felt like they were trying too hard, ie “my cock gets hard and explodes like a zit”, stupid. Maximus’s character was completely unlikeable. Not sure if that was intentional or if he’s just a horrible actor. The relationship between him and Lucy just felt forced, like they were just trying to shoehorn in another interracial relationships for some reason. Nothing wrong with that, but I can’t be the only one to find it weird that all the major characters in the series were in interracial marriages. Ending was stupid: Click To View Spoiler |

With children I do not want to expose them to sexual content at an early age. I think that causes more issues than the other stuff. I don't care if they see some boobs or a butt for a few seconds but not an actual sex scene. That is me personally. By the time they are 16 I don't try to control what they watch but I certainly am not going to promote something pornographic in nature. |

Boys play fight, wrestle, are fascinated with the military etc from birth till death. Violence is in our nature and most people that are sick in the head can tell the difference between fantasy and reality.

Considering that when you pop a psycho in the games, the player character screams either "FUCKING KILL!!!" or an R Lee Ermey-worthy battle cry at maximum volume. (If you use hotkeys for chems instead of the pipboy, you'll see him inject them) And enemies yell similar obscenities back at you while you dismember them using your shotgun, chainsaw, or grenades... The games and the series are both 18+ for a reason. Kharn |

Why do studios have to add that shit to everything? It never adds anything but cringe. You’re wrong about the games as others have already proven. Again, it’s an M rated series based on an M rated game franchise. I don’t mind sexual humor, but at least make it funny. That’s where they failed in the series. The games were always funny, not so much the writing in the series. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SG55xdude: You guys are ignoring the obvious here though. They gave it a sexual tone the games never had. I am not arguing about it being mature or not mature. Why do studios have to add that shit to everything? It never adds anything but cringe. Sexual themes are typically seen as the opposite side of the coin of violence. Both sex and violence are emotional tropes that appeal to the base levels of the average viewer. If you can't hold an audience with your plot or your acting, then a few explosions or tits can sometimes sway the ones who aren't on board and keep them on board. Plus we live in a world where entertainment has been moved very far down a certain path of expectation. Any time your general audience sees a show is rated mature, they expect things. Its why the PG13 rating carries such a stigma with hardcore horror movie fans, they know its going to be neutered in some way to appeal to a wider audience. When I watched this show with my wife, her response to the sex scene in the first episode was (I shit you not) "we get to see the guy's ass but Lucy wears a full length wedding dress for the whole time?" And she wasn't wrong... it was the most PG13 sex scene I think I've seen in a while. It was a prime time 90's NYPD Blue TV sex scene. I was honestly shocked they actually showed Nude California Republic tits in the episode with vault 4, as it seemed to me the show was playing pretty coy with the nudity and sexual themes. I get it that as a parent you have certain things you don't want to expose your children to, but modern mature rated entertainment is a game of brinkmanship. They were showing bare ass on broadcast TV in the 90s, so everything gets amped up and amped up to deliver more and more, greater and greater levels of titillation to the audience. Its the nature of mature shows now, and has been since ever. I remember watching shows on Showtime with my dad in the 80s that were way out there in terms of sexual content and language. And if that stuff bothers you, then sometimes the show in question just "isn't for you". Lord knows there are a dozen or more modern shows my wife wanted us to watch that I just could not keep watching due to subject matter or themes. Everyone has a different limit. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sitdwnandhngon: Why would grade school kids be watching it? It has an adult rating. A large chunk of the games is dialog, you can spend hours just searching through computer logs for obscure data. I find it interesting when people that aren't familiar with the source material critique shows or movies. Most of the time they fuck it up by not getting it right. This time they pretty much nailed and there's still people upset about it. 100% agree. Fallout is an adult game, and adult show. If folks can't deal with adult topics, adult humor, raunchy stuff, death, and gore they probably should not expose themselves to it. For some reason they can't deal with the fact that Fallout games and show are pure entertainment, science fiction. If i don't like something I am watching, I simply turn it off. I don't go find a forum to post about how stupid it is  We have almost every show/ movie at our finger tips if one is capable of dealing with modern technology. There are many choices! |

It's not even touched on by any other characters. |

That's how a younger bro watched the entire show. Said he FF 1/3rd of the diolog including everything at the brothergood base. Yep thinking back the entire segment was time filler.

They are after you kids 100%....hoping they can get access through T.V as mom and dad sit down with little Billy and Susie for the current episode of social programing. Ground breaking and brave! I stopped reading after “grade school kids”. That’s a parenting problem, not mine. |

I remember I accidentally missed an eye shot against an npc and it hit Myron’s eyes and his floating text said “I’m blind! And not from masturbating!” |

Never played the game but I thought it was good. The flashback scenes did a decent job of filling in the back story

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DFARM: I don't remember anything about her being a tranny, I got the idea that she was just a chick that was going through training with a bunch of dudes and had short hair and no boobs. If it was a dude pretending to be a chick, I didn't catch it. If it was a chick that was trying to be a dude, I didn't catch it. I honestly just thought she was a tomboy type. I don't look for shit to get upset about though. Just kinda figured she was an ugly chick with a shaved head |

If you're a trans man does that mean you are a woman being a man or a man that is trans? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Croak: Originally Posted By SG55xdude: I've played/beat all the Fallout games since 3 and there really wasn't anything in your face sexual that I can remember. You can get a partner in some of them but everything I remember is pretty tame. My complaint is they changed the tone of it to be way more sexually charged than the games ever were. Boys play fight, wrestle, are fascinated with the military etc from birth till death. Violence is in our nature and most people that are sick in the head can tell the difference between fantasy and reality. I have no problem letting a 12 yo watch SOME rated R action movies with me but I would never watch Porky's with them. You don't remember Fisto? New Vegas Strip? Gomorrah? Cass? Yep. I also fucked that one chick in Vault 21 ETA: Sarah |

Cut him some slack. He’s probably just tired from bitching that a strip club named “Naked Women Dance in Here” isn’t family friendly entertainment. All I know is I played 3, NV, and 4 and there really wasn't a in your face sexual tone. I am not saying adult content doesn't exist in it but from my experience if you weren't out looking for it you aren't going to be overwhelmed with sexual content. I never played before 3 so I am speaking from my experience with 3 on. Seems the show is based on 3 and on anyway. I never said there was not adult content in the game it's just something you have to seek out to notice. The show starts in with the cousin fucking talk from the get go. I am still watching the show I just wish it was possible to make shows without that stuff honestly. It's just my personaly preference to watch porn when I want to watch porn but when I want to watch tv I don't want cringy tv porn that serves no purpose. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By godzillamax: While they weren't shoving the woke down your throat with some trany character, or a gay couple sex scene, etc. like a Netflix show would have the signs of wokeness were simply more subtle but were still very prevalent...for example, pretty much every straight white male character with (speaking lines) is either evil, an asshole, a coward, a tyrant, etc. First BoS Knight we see (Titus) is total a-hole, leader of the BoS is evil/manipulative, Maximus' squire is a little weasel, the Vault 33 overseer is evil/manipulative, the white guys in Vault 33 like Chet (spineless white guy who ends up with the pregnant widow) and Davey (old guy who tells the fat black guy he isn't voting for him) are all losers, all the CEOs at the secret meeting in the episode 8 are mostly white men, etc. etc. while all the "heroes" in the show are females, PoCs, etc. (Lucy, Maximus, Lucy's brother, Moldaver, etc.). So straight white male = negative attributes, female or PoC = positive attributes is the theme of the show's characters. Some of you all go way out of your way to look for this shit and be offended. |

But I'm guessing that poor dude is a Squire. And it's basically a hazing aka Alpha move by the Knight to make his "bitch" carry the sack. Right? |
