So, I'm only peripherally familiar with Fallout as my husband and son played the game, so I had no expectations going into the watching of this series. I was so pleasantly surprised to find the character Lucy is no Mary Sue and in my opinion is the best written female character in an action series I've seen in quite a while. The series is easy to follow even for the uninitiated (such as myself), it looks great, the casting is perfect, it has an intriguing mystery at its core, and the pilot grabbed my attention upon hitting the "play" button. There seems to be much debate about the timeline, etc. From dedicated fans but I recommend it regardless (I do not believe in toxic fandom so I respect dissenting opinions in this regard). We as an audience have been fed subpar content for far too long and I believe this series is worthy of a watch. Amazon actually and surprisingly got it right with this series and praise is due for that. Check it out.
