Are fans of the series liking season 1? I thought it was kind of not great...

Edit: Just to clarify, any issues I have with the show are completely unrelated to it not being faithful enough to the source material, or for it being "woke" or some stupid bullshit... It's merely just a taste thing regarding the visuals, pacing, dialogue... Maybe it's just a general trend for TV shows, but it just has this... look to it, that I'm not a fan of. I can't really describe it much more than that. Everything is so goddamn shiny (despite being post apocalyptic ) and I found it super distracting for some reason.

    From what I can tell, the show is doing great with most people, but some fans have been proclaiming that “it’s not good if you’re a fan of the video games”, but then I see people responding with “I am a huge fallout fan and I love the show”. Also, Tim Cain, the co-creator of fallout, loves the show; he loves the details in the background so much that he sometimes missed the dialogue.

    So, from my pov, who has not watched the show or played the games, it seems like some people are throwing out “as a fan of the series…” to validate their opinion.

    No it's not good from the point of the book! In every single episode (every episode is a short story from the first book) they made at least one critical mistake that completely erases what makes the short stories so genius in the book. It's madining because the look and feel is very nicely captured and there was no reason to not follow the book more closely in the crutial plot points... ahhh such a wasted opportunity. I don't care much about the rest. I think only the first Witcher book is really good.
