The right partner? You mean the one that makes the most money. You partnered with Bezos, dude. The show is alright, but it was clearly made to appease a wide market.

why would you expect any less? TV is made to make money, it is what it is.

You didn’t want a “video game movie director”, but you still made the equivalent of the Mario Movie.

oh come on, that's ridiculous. Who would you have preferred to make it?

A little more fan service wouldn’t kill the show. Reading journals, hacking computers, feral ghouls, side quests. A little faster pace would help too.

You can say the exact same stuff about The Last of Us which is also well done. Some things just wouldn't translate well to TV, especially with 8 episode seasons.

Look I'm not even trying to say you're wrong for wanting something different, but at least acknowledge it could have been a lot worse, like the Halo TV show.

Pacing is my worst complaint about the show, I've stopped watching until a full season is out because in some episodes nothing actually happens. Also they keep doing hard cuts to black with a bass hit as a transition over and over again, I think thats really lazy.

Other than that, I agree with your comment and still really enjoying the show as a longtime fallout fan.
