Ella Purnell and Walter Goggins are legit good actors and are pretty much carrying the show on their backs.

The writing nails the vibe of the Fallout universe in the general sense, the problem is setting it on the west coast (where, y'know all the beloved Black Isle and Obsidian games are set). If they set it in Bethesda continuity locations on the east coast like Washington there would probably be fewer problems, since the show fits the tone of what Bethesda ended up doing anyway.

Because yeah messing with the earlier games open-ended endings feels wrong and ends up introducing some weird themes that I don't think were intended.

Edited: I got my american geography mixed up lol
