Comment on Fallout TV Show ... not vibing with eps 1,2 ... what am I missing?
maegul@lemmy.ml 2 months agoFallout is about the offbeat humour and violence.
I am not at all opposed to offbeat humour and violence! Rather fond of it actually.
The part from the top post I think you’re missing/under-emphasising is my sense that the show feels somewhat empty and awkward. I’m only two episodes in of course, but others in this thread seem to understand where I’m coming from, so I don’t think it’s just a misaligned tastes thing. The season apparently hits its stride as it goes though, so I’ll probably persevere
And I wasn’t suggesting that I was expecting a show just like Andor, from that comparison I was only expecting something surprisingly good. And to be clear, I’m not suggesting it’s a bad show or anything, just sharing how I’m not vibing with it and curious why.

I’ve played the games.
The show sucks - I couldn’t even finish the first episode. There’s no connection to the characters.

Interestingly opposed to others’ impression that game players generally liked the show!
