It's been well over a week since the Fallout TV show debuted on Amazon Prime, and we've been patiently sitting and waiting to get the Pure Xbox community's opinions on it ever since - and it feels like now's finally a good time, especially considering it just got picked up for a second season!
As you probably know, the entire first season of the show dropped at once on April 10th/11th, so while some of us may have binged it within a day, others may have taken a little longer to finish it. Everyone's got different circumstances, so we don't want to talk about any spoilers in this article, and therefore we're not going to go into story specifics.
What we will say is that clearly the critics were impressed with it! The series currently has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 94% with an Audience Score of 88%, while the IMDB rating is at a very high 8.6/10. The Metacritic rating doesn't fare quite as well (as it often doesn't), but it's still pretty decent at an average of 73/100.
So, let's do this! We'd love to hear what score you'd give the Fallout TV show in the poll down below, and then please go into detail in the comments about your thoughts on the series so far - but without giving any spoilers away!

I really enjoyed it, I'm not a massive Fallout fan but I really enjoyed the show. I think it serves both fans and people who know nothing of the world very well. I gave it a 9/10 on IMDB so I've matched that grading here!
To me it's a 9 out of 10 nothings perfect but the show was really amazing. As a huge fallout fan I was smiling like a kid through the entire show. They nailed the aesthetics and world building of the games. And more importantly dialogues were well written and carried out superbly by the amazing cast. They really did an amazing job.
On the last episode now. I voted 9/10 since I've never played the games, its hard to tell how close it is to the source material.
it might well be the best video game adaption made. it benefited from not being a copy of a games story but a new story set in that world
I gave it a 10. It's one of the best video game adaptations out there.
I'm on episode 5 now but I think it's great! My hopes weren't high going in but it's actually really good and love that the music from the games are in it crawl out to the fallout baby!
It’s excellent. I love all the little Easter eggs, nods to the game, the music and the the quirky sense of humour. I’m only half way through the series so can’t get a definitive score but if I had to score it now it would be 9.
Episode 1 was decent but that's as far as I have gotten. Im not a big tv show guy so it's hard for me to make time to watch it. I have fired up fallout 76 again though and I have been enjoying that.
10/10, I loved it - so much better than I expected. The best video game adaptation yet. Very funny too.
10/10
I also just realized the cover photo on this page is a skull. Lol
One word, amazing. Arguably the best video game adaptation to date.
I loved it. It checked all.the boxes for me, and it's easily one of the best video game adaption ever. They did such a great job keeping to the source material. I can't wait for season 2.
Nothing negative to say.
Clean 10/10
@GrumpyDev
How does giving this show a 10 show a lack of self awareness?? I would give it a 9.5 myself, but I can’t see any fault in giving it a 10. It was that good.
I thought it was very good.
Fell apart in the final episode for me. Not the strong wrap up I was hoping for. But it was decent until then. Wish they'd focused on giving season 1 a good ending over setting up season 2.
Excellent show indeed!
It brings shame to the franchise and has turned away plenty of new fans.
Definitely not for me.
Not gotten around to it. Haven’t liked the series since Fallout 4 kinda killed it for me.
I watched so many clips I just had to make a new fake free Prime trial account and OMG it was worth it! Fan-freaking-tastic show. I almost feel bad...almost...
...k maybe not.
This is the Internet today. 64% voted 9 and 10. Game of Thrones, Frasier, Sopranos - also a 9 or 10. ROFL!!! LOL!!!
Forget it ….
@GrumpyDev
It wasn’t that, in your opinion. Your opinion is just that, your opinion. This is nothing more than you thinking your subjective opinion superior to others. Not to mention, what someone thinks is a 10 in one genre doesn’t necessarily mean a 10 in another genre. And I know people that aren’t gamers that have absolutely loved it. I mean can’t stop talking about it loved it. To think this show is doing as well as it is just because of being team green is absurd.
It’s got a 94% critic rating on RT and I have seen more people say it’s a 10/10 than any other show in a long time. Again, I would give it a 9.5, so I can absolutely see where people scored it a 10. It doesn’t have to be The Wire to score a 10.

@MrMagic
Yep, just gaslighting, lol. It even has a 94% critic rating on RT. I do love when a divisive topic like this shows up on various movie boards or gaming boards. The people who think WAY too highly of their own opinions, and usually don’t understand subjectivity to save their life, come out of the woodwork.

They need to recast the actor who plays maximus with someone who can act. Like holy heck is he bad. Other than that, it's pretty decent.

And for a video game adaptation, many people think this is a masterpiece. It’s that simple. Nothing you say can discredit those opinions.
It's pretty good I like how the old style music, just like the game is used. Nice cast of fairly new stars and seems true to the game
Really enjoyed it. Great adaption. Looking forward to more. I hope they ordered more than 8 episodes though.
I didn't watch properly but I saw the fighting at the beginning and thought it was meh. Left it on play and went to lie down. Was listening to parts of 2nd episode, and it did kinda sound interesting. I then turned it off coz I thought I should watch it properly.
Some scenes are way too gruesome for me, I can't handle seeing too much blood in real people. In a game is fine, but if it looks too real, I feel uncomfortable.
@RIghteousNixon Your absolutely right in your comments I gave it 10/10 because for me it was that I'm of sound body and mind aswell so I'm not losing it don't listen to sad people hating because you like a show how dare you!
PS the wire sucks
Why do people get so offended when others rate things higher than than themselves. If people think this show is a 9 or 10 then let them. It makes zero difference to your own life. Just makes you seem overly sensitive.
The show was really good. I have some issues with the ending and the pacing was a little off halfway through. Much better than I expected. I'd give it a solid 8/10 and I'm looking forward to Season 2.
It’s an 8 for me. Solid, sets up a future season.
Few dodgy bits, like when maximus floats down in his suit, may as well have had the wires visible! And honestly in a good cast, the guy who plays maximus is not great for me.
I thought it was Okie Doki lol. Did a review of it on my YT, Eleventh Hour Reviews.
The show was great 9 for me props were on point cast was scripted well im happy for the ip.
I must be the only person on earth without Amazon prime.
@PsBoxSwitchOwner
I liked it, but I wasn't wowed by it. Loved the first 4 episodes, 5 & 6 was OK, enjoyed 7 & 8.
@fizban3332 He had been pretty universally panned. He's a pretty bad fit/ actor
You really need to do a spoiler article so people can talk about it.
It sucked. I watched episode 1 and really enjoyed all the little things like stimpacks and chems. After watching a few episodes I thought about going back and playing fallout 4 but then due to an article from a website I fell down a 76 hole and all the stuff around that I was reminded of. I have really gone from liking Bethesda to never giving them another penny for anything. That really affected my view of the show and from that point on I really did not enjoy it at all. I will try to not spoil and be as vague as possible.
I find it completely unoriginal.
Fallout 3 you’re searching for your dad.
Fallout 4 you’re searching for your kid.
Fallout tv show, they are searching for someone and then you find out so is someone else.
Season 2 is literally going to be the exact same thing as season 1.
I don’t understand how someone is so concerned about someone and where they are when the bombs go off but then, basically set the bombs off when that person is not protected.
I also don’t understand why someone is searching for someone when that person was okay with killing.
