Worry not, they have improved him this season.I'm probably gonna watch season 2 when a non-maximus cut is out
Probably due to feedback or something, but he is more around 60% more serious this season. They have him going through an "almost-brooding" phase, but maybe they are just trying to point out how he is just jaded about all the wasteland stuff.

It was probably the worst character i ever seen in a serial tv...ever?
I don't see any reality where i would enjoy watching another minute of this guy.
Thank anyway for the attempt

You'd have to explain what you didn't like so that I can explain what they fixed and didn't fix.

You know all it took was that 2 min montage of her backstory for me to go from indifferent about her character to kinda invested. They did a nice job with that.

Dees his acting\character still feel like he is heavy on the spectrum half of the times (and not in a good way)?
Does he still think he is a hero\good guy even if he is kinda of a piece of shit?
I just hated every scene he was in pretty much.

This has been reduced by about 60%.
He starts out season 2, now a knight, but also a false hero who has taken down Moldaver. Only he knows that he never did. This along with him looking for purpose is what makes him more jaded this season.
They even explain a bit further how his character had arrested development and why he was seeking validation and knighthood, however that's not his character's focus this season.
The goal he was clinging onto all last season, he finally reached, but he did it in all the wrong ways and even now that he's there it's not all that he thought it was going to be.
He wants to be, but he keeps finding himself in complicated situations this season and he is taking it more seriously. Thus he is more upset about his dream being more of an asterisk, thus the added jadedness.
I think the issue is that they casted an actor who simply looks older than he is. If he genuinely looked like some young-looking actor to play an early 18, 19, or early 20s kid who is wanting to be a hero to an ideology that he bought into, but has barely any life experience nor wasteland experience, the character would come across more obviously to audiences.
Instead in season 1 you had a dude who looks just about 30 years old acting like a 13 year old.
Regardless, there have been less complaints about him this season because they massively turned down the dial on his childlike demeanor and jokes. They even gave him his own good plotline to follow along with, and kudos to them for doing this all in a way that makes sense.

Another solid season. Still did not expect this quality show from Fallout of all I.P.'s, but I'm definitely all for it.
It's a real shame that Halo TV couldn't get this level treatment. I kind of want Microsoft to try greenlighting a British "Fable" TV show, with the whimsical narrator and all...maybe give it to Britbox, HBO, or BBC or something.

Loved this season slightly less than 1.
I feel like the only person who actually loves the multiple story-lines per episode thing and the jumping around. It's a terrible show to watch while trying to multi-task though.

I enjoy it too but I also liked Game of Thrones for the same reason.
And yeah this is definitely not a 'second screen experience' type of show, which is one of the reasons I enjoy it because they do a lot of visual storytelling too.

What a fun watch.
It rewards the fans of the game yet can also be enjoyed by those who know nothing about it.
I'm tempted to rewatch by starting season 1 again

It was pretty bad tbh.
Lucy's brothers narrative was completely fucking pointless and Vegas was not handled well at all. Justin Theroux was amazing as Robert House and that's it.

I like the season overall but not the finale, way too many plot points are left for season 3, and too many stories ending up being pointless.
I also find the actor playing Maximus to be a bad actor and looking bored 24/7, and the actress playing Lucy has major bug eyes and a botox mouth.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Damn, looks like the season kicked ass.
I've held back on watching it weekly so I can binge it. Will do that either over this or the next weekend.

I enjoyed season 2 more than 1, it's still not the games and i like some bits and not others but i did like how in the end it's basically back to the start of New Vegas, House and NCR on the strip and in freeside with the Legion attacking, nearer than the dam but still the same principle,
i like the Enclave being more powerful as well, i always thought they were beaten too easy in the games personally, but the Brotherhood is still all over the place, now they have the plans of Liberty Prime magically from nowhere in the Mojave lol as well as the Prydwyn etc, and still act like raiders and fiends for me,
I look forward to season 3.
