I only watched the first episode and skimmed through most of it as it was kinda boring.
Does it get better?
What kind of shows are you able to watch when you already need to skim the first episode setting the mood/vibe of the show? TikTok?
Shows that are captivating and offer a glimpse of the long term mystery?
Now the first episode of the Expanse had the same flow; introduce the different character groups, world build, and set events into motion.
It ended with multiple different character arcs in motion - an investigation, political drama, lost in space. Fallout had 3 people set off to start their arc maybe next episode? Vault girl leaves, Brotherhood guy leaves, Ghoul leaves.
The Expanse pulled it off fucking fantastically whereas Fallout just felt flat to me.
Yeah I'm not feeling great about the show. Sure it's pretty, but it's so slow.
Maybe that's a deliberate choice, but as the first episode is, I give it a 7/10.
Not great, not good, but okay.
Agreed. I think for the way they had to cut it up and introduce so many seemingly "key" characters, it really dragged on for me until about mid way. And I still didn't have a good handle on the world as a whole at that point. Feeling like I'm missing something the whole time makes me not want to continue.

People like the later episodes more
Can I just say thank you for being the only person to actually answer my question. If that’s the case I might try to power through a few more.
One more question though, it goes from 8.5 to 8.9; is that a big increase?
It sounds like very little but for all I know 99% of shows could be rated from 7-9, where it would be more impactful.
That site visualizes the per-episode reviews from IMDb so its only as good as its dataset.
I find it most useful when choosing between shows, if I know that a series falls of a cliff if the later seasons I might choose something more consistent instead.
My advice would be to search a couple of other series you know and see what their numbers look like. That should give you a benchmark.
