I was really happy with how the show turned out and the direction it took. I felt it really delivered, so don't be too worried. I had some similar concerns especially regarding the Brotherhood of Steel before watching, but the show gets that they're not good guys.
I thought theyvreally nailed it as an adaptation of the setting. My favorite thing about Fallout is that its not speculative fiction. Its not about a possible future, its about what people in the height of the Atomic Age thought the future would be. There's this massive contridiction in that period where on the one hand you have the height of Americana - that trademark psychotic optimism - and on the other hand the fear of nuclear annihilation. Fallout explores that contridiction - or rather resolves it by recognizing that the US is fascist. The show, i felt, got that and delievered.
