I finished the series and it was good.
Lucy was great. Good actress and a well-written character. Not the "mary sue" she gets criticism for and I do hope to see more of her. Made sense she was the main character despite the ghoul having a greater stake in the story since he is the audience surrogate (completely new to the Fallout world, not understanding how things work so the audience learns alongside her).
I did grow to like Maximus more as well. He really sucked at the beginning and I didnt know if he was naive, just incompetent, or power hungry. I do think his competency is also very unstable (he is at times very incompetent but also hyper competent) but he does keep the naive run head first into danger characteristic that he will likely grow out of as the story progresses. He does have an interesting moral dilemma but also seems too cowardly at times though.
The ghoul is great but an easy fan favorite. Basically a villain protagonist that turns into an anti-hero as the story progresses. The ghoul definitely carried the show.
Costumes and atmosphere were great and the last two episodes were really good, resulting in an interesting story. As a normie fan who doesnt really know much about Fallout, I enjoyed it.
However, there was one maybe plothole and one big issue I had with the series.
While not the most amazing show, I do look forward to season 2 and hope it improves.

For the plothole, how effective are stimpaks really? They seem to be quite effective since Lucy was able to save herself from being stabbed in the gut in episode one and bounce back quickly and the ghoul saved the dog that seemed to be on the verge of death with a shot.
If that was the case, why wasnt the scientist who got his foot blown off given a stimpak? Im assuming Lucy had one and even if she didnt, there was one in the store since that was used to save the dog. The scientist could have really explained alot of the story had he not been so secretive.

While I enjoyed the show, it was way too slow in pacing. I felt episodes 2 to 6 were literal sidequests that didnt add anything to the story apart from a very very slow drip feed of the ghoul's backstory. While it was a cool reveal that the ghoul is vault boy and that his wife was the one who pushed for Vault-Tec to kickoff the war by dropping the bombs to ensure war, this could have been covered in two quick episodes to be honest. Also not sure how Moldaver survived and remained "young" given she wasnt a Vault-Tec employee so wasnt in their preservation chamber unless she had her own as a rich retired inventor. Given season 2 is confirmed, I do hope they pick up the pace of the story.
