Fallout: the Amazon Prime TV show

I was seeing a lot of pretty much unanimous praise for this show so I checked it out. 3 episodes in so far and I won't say it's mind-blowing or anything, but it does seem remarkably true to the games (of which I'm hardly an expert in beyond super casually) and is totally solidly written, acted, and cast. This is like the whole creative team from Westworld and these guys seem to know what they're doing and the "tone" is just perfect.

I'll say one thing, the black guy character that becomes the squire for the Brotherhood of Steel... I'm sure this is by design, but man, what an annoyingly frustrating character. He's totally manic, and consistently makes the wrong decisions over and over again. I can imagine what they're "doing" here with him, but it's hard not to groan during every one of his scenes.
