Looks fun,

1. I'm enjoying it

Two episodes in - it captures the feel of the game, even the combat mechanics, and has this "Unbreakable Kimmie Schmidt: Fury Road" quality.
Walton Goggins is chewing up the scenery so far.

3. Not typically my genre, but Walton Goggins might just have me watching...

He really steals the screen from nearly anyone else. If you saw him on Justified, you know how much he was missed in the series sequel last year and how excited fans of the original show were when he showed up in the last episode.
I won't say he stole the show from its star, Timothy Olyphant, but boy does he know how to steal scenes.

I might just have to watch this Amazon Prime show--especially since it is "free to me."

4. Word of warning - it is VERY violent

Heads getting popped and limbs blown off. And there is a scene of offscreen animal cruelty (the dog survives otherwise I would’ve tapped out)

2. The trailer gave me an anxiety attack.

Is that supposed to be a good thing?

5. LOL, the film makers would probably say yes.

6. I may give it a shot, but looks kind'a weak, based on the trailer.

7. Bethesda plays and creates in a strangely punk universe that not all will grok,

I'm 5 eps in and will most likely finish the series in a single binge. I'm quite sure it is not for everyone.

8. Just binged the entire series

The production accurately captures the variety of Fallout environments in found in 3, 4, and NV.

It's certainly watchable, especially for fans of the game. It has its full share of cults, assorted weirdos, and offbeat encounters that are features of the games. The storyline is OK if not overly compelling.

There's obviously going to be a New Vegas followup.

Walton Goggins maintains the same presence displayed in both Justified and The Shield.

4 (maybe 4 1/2) thumbs up for me.

BTW, if you haven't seen Shogun on Hulu, you're missing an excellent story. That one is *****.
