Was just wondering if that's everyone else's experience or if Amazon will throw more ads at you in the middle of episodes as you keep watching the series?
Depends on the show/movie.

Amazon ads about as good as ad tier gets. Almost always something to start then no Interruptions during. Far better than Netflix, Hulu, etc.

Just finished last night. 8.5/10. Would have been 9 or 9.5 if it wasn't for that annoying 40s and 50s music they played the entire time! lol

Goggins was amazing in Hateful Eight. go watch that!

Finished this series late last week and forgot about this thread. I love, love, loved this show. Highly recommended! I noticed on my Twitch giveaways that a bunch of Fallout related games are free via Prime?

Might have to check them out.

I loved this series, just binge-watched it last night. Cannot WAIT for Season 2; the ending was chef's kiss. Couple questions though:

The music was one of my favourite parts of the game. The show doesn't immerse you into pre-war America's idiosyncrasies as well so the music sticks out more.

Goggins is amazing in The Shield, Justified, Righteous Gemstones, and everything else he's in.

I'm waiting for a Walter Goggins / Steven Ogg limited series. I'd pay good money for that.

True but I have a hard time getting over the “this program brought to you ad free by [play sponsor ad]” message.

Ad. Free. Insert advertisement.

I love those old timey tunes. It honestly introduced me to a lot of music and gave me an appreciation for music from the 1940s and 1950s.

I've never played any of the Fallout games, but I keep getting Bioshock vibes watching the show - to the point where I had to check if the two game franchises took place in the same universe or were related somehow.

I'd love to see a BioShock series. But the world isn't as fleshed out or expansive enough for some story making liberties like weve seen in fallout.

But seeing a Big daddy drill some skulls would be fun.
