A few episodes in to the Fallout TV show and it's somehow managing to be quite dull.

@nivrig first few episodes were a bit flabby, but they tightened them up after that. Runtime was too long for the first few.

@nivrig I’ve only played one game (Fallout 4) but I love the whole world and premise. I wa sin the doldrums this afternoon when I finished the last episode, as I had no more to watch. I found it really compelling watching. The idea of waiting for more is like being tortured by a Mr Handy.

@mo I never played any of the games so maybe I'm missing something.

@nivrig I definitely have an affinity for Fallout 4, and post-apocalyptic stuff in general, but from reading about it after watching I think a lot of references were to games that I hadn’t played and I don’t think it impacted my enjoyment.

@nivrig there’s a smooching scene in Episode 7 that i felt was worth every minute I put into it up until that point.

@mo Definitely picked up in episode 4 👍🏻
