Detail - In Fallout (2024), when the Ghoul sits in a supermarket to watch a movie, Halloween decorations are seen on the shelf. In Fallouts lore the bombs fell on October 23, 2077
The dumb part is it takes place 200+ years after "the bombs fell". You can look at how supermarkets fare after 5-10 years being abandoned, there won't be anything after 200.
"Deep time" is hard for people to get their heads around. Battlefield Earth infamously takes place one thousand years after aliens conquer Earth, and the jeeps at an abandoned military base still have fully-inflated rubber tires... next to the flight-ready Harrier jets.
Does this show get better in later episodes? The first one was so awful I coudn't even finish it. Bad acting, bad CGI, boring plot. And the sets are way too shiny and fake-looking for some reason. As a huge fan of the series (especially New Vegas), it was extremely disappointing.
This seems to be a common opinion. People who have never played the games tend to like the show. But I can assure you this: if you like the show, then you'd love the games even more than I do. They're an order of magnitude better.
