Fallout TV Show is mediocre?

[Q]

SPOILERS obviously, stop reading if you haven't watched the show yet

Episode 1 = 6.2
the best: the intro, vault design and music
the worst: goofy fight with annoying overused slow-mo effect and the background song, immersion breaking stuff

Episode 2 = 7.8
best = the dialogue and scene with old lady and lucy, that was great, then the intro with Ben Linus and dogmeat training facility also ghoul vs knight fight, good stuff.
worst = goofy, silly Maximus flying with no control due malfunction and screaming, looked like a looney tunes situation

Episode 3 = 6.8
best = the pink water mutant was cool, Mr Ghoul scenes were the best
worst = again the silly, dorky characters, goofy comedy, feels like the comedy you would expect from adam sandler or ben stiller movies. The Squire guy is a total jester, vault dwellers extremely dumb, naive but in a buffoonish way, immersion breaking

Episode 4 = 7.5
Best = Mr Handy scenes, the vault 32 mystery
Worst = the scene were both lose a finger was unnecesary

Episode 5 = 8.2
Best = The railroad, ruined shady sands, the hospital etc the streets it really looks like something you would expect from FO3 or FO4 almost a copy & paste stuff from the games, Vault 32 situation getting more mysterious and disturbing. 10/10
Worst = i'll watch it again cuz tbh so far i think this is my fav ep

----------------------

Episode 1 impressions

Slightly impressed but not enough, the part i enjoyed the most was just the beginning (episode 1) after that everything went down hill, not saying it was terrible but certainly it wasn't great either
(edit: finishing ep3, i must admit, it's getting better...)

Kinda reminds me of "zombieland, kick-a$$, suicide squad or bullet train" style of silly violent comedy, i was expecting something like "starship troopers" as in satire, comedy in a way that you obviously see it mixed pretty well with dark, bizzarre situations. in fallout show it's inserted randomly. then abruptly switch to drama getting rid of satire (BoS guy interrogation and tantrums) its odd, i bet they wanted to show us how males can be sensible, flawed, vulnerable etc.

Also they avoided talking about China but i won't get ahead of myself, haven't watched the rest so i assume they going to tell everyone and i mean the people watching the show that the US has been in conflict with China for a long time.

- DEI elements everywhere, it's pretty obvious, they tried so hard to make the vault dwellers and BoS recruits so diverse, different shapes, haircuts, facial features, all kinds of people etc funny how some are fat and others too skinny it's like the overseer is allowing em to be lazy and eat too much while others do the total opposite, makes no sense, then the protagonist is obvious "Strong Female character" also Maximus friend, "Dane" i was so confused, can't tell if is a she or he or agender or no idea.
Ohh and the dumb white males obviously gotta check that box and when they are not dumb, they are evil, of course, it should be expected.

- Unnecesary sex scene and fap scene. What the hec was the point of showing a guy masturbating in the barracks? why??? there was no need for such thing it doesn't add anything of value to the show or scene.
Then the protagonist removing her underwear to have sex with the guy she just met few minutes ago that was so unnecesary, if they wanted to show sex at least do it properly, clothes off etc nah they kept female character DRESSED and guy totally naked.

- The music was a nice surprise but it was too "high quality" i mean it doesn't have the old vibe cuz they kinda added remastered, polished tracks with no background noise so a bit of the "retro" feeling is lost.

- Is the BoS supposed to be this "religious"? performing ceremonies and wearing robes like ... "unity" would do or any other cultists like children of atom? did BoS performed such ceremonies in the games or acted in such way that you would believe they are a religious order, a cult?

- Everything is too colorful and bright, even in dark rooms or places that are supposed to be dark you can see everything its like there are tiny lamps everywhere, everything looks always iluminated even during night.

- Mr Ghoul scene is the same as Geralt scene in the witcher show or some "jedi" introduction, the obvious purpose was showing how cool and skilled and powerful he is by defeating bunch of random villians so easily, a cliche.

- A vault dweller looking for a missing relative? cmon dude, be original, how come thats the odyssey for the main character? same plot as fo3 and fo4 etc

and I could keep going, anyways it's not a bad episode but i was disappointed, i expected much more, the bad thing about a mediocre or bad episode 1 is that you dont feel too encouraged to keep going.

Yeah that was so cheesy not even funny slow fight scenes in vault look so out of place it tries be a comedic zombie land funny skit

I'm hoping that the above post is meant sarcastically, because otherwise it would be next level embarrassing in its silly conspiracy-laced distance from reality and utter lack of basic scientific knowledge.

I thought the first episode was good, but the next two get very dorky with the characters and some of the fighting. Really hard to keep going honestly but I'll press on i guess...it isnt terrible, just very meh...

I also dont like how there are areas with lots of green trees in this show. I didnt play 1, 2, or 76. But 3 and NV have no green areas except for that one small untouched area in 3 if I recall. Just felt kinda annoyed about that. They get the feel of a dystopian wasteland right in several other scenes though, so I appreciate that.

The show is set in 2270 where fallout 3 is about to start, then at end of season 2 will go into new vegas. Some of the lore tho seems really off and changed

nope, you are mistaken here. Real order of Fallout universe:

Tell me you never played FO or FO2 without telling me you never played them lol.
Over the top violence, straight up sillyness at times, it was always part of it. All these special encounters in 1 and 2... yup, you clearly never played them.

Oh man, 6.5? You're being too generous.

well that statement is poor, irrelevant, it's faulty reasoning and a fallacy, my argument prevails, if you can't explain why my opinion is mediocre then we dealing with the "invincible ignorance fallacy".

episode 1 is mediocre, change my mind, can't or dont want to? too bad, it is mediocre and "no u" is no proper, valid argument.
