I didn't remember you saying you watched the first season. What did you think?
As far as YouTube commentators go, the only "big" name that I saw complaining about season 2 was from ItsAGundam. I didn't watch his video but I think it was titled "Watching Season 2 of Fallout will make you wish for a Nuclear Winter" or something close to that.
Any of the other channels that have popped up in my feed complaining about the show were no-name channels. I'm thinking mostly that's because there's literally nothing woke in the show at all, unless the androgynous friend of Maximus in the Brotherhood of Steel really gets under your skin (I honestly couldn't tell you if the actor/actress playing him/her is a man or a woman, honestly, although I'm leaning on it being male with the hair above the lip). And that character had such a bit part in the 2nd season they may as well have not even been in the show. They also never sexualize the character or force any agenda with them, and they are one of the only legitimately good people on the show so it's kind of hard to hate on them for looking like a little sissy boy.
I guess maybe some people might have a problem with Lucy and Maximus kissing in the first season. But whatever... It's not as if there's many good people out there other than Lucy and Maximus in the wasteland, and I'm pretty sure if memory serves that the one tall, handsome white dude that wasn't a total piece of shit in the show that was into Lucy was her cousin from the vault and she just wasn't into him like that.
If the show were trash, you've have Desparu and The Critical Drinker shitting all over it too, and as far as I know neither of them have even made any mention of Fallout.
I usually don't get into any arguments on YouTube with anybody like I do here, but I've been trolling a bunch of whiners complaining that the show sucks. I completely disagree.
I don't know what my "perfect" version of a Fallout show would even look like, but so far I haven't even bothered asking myself that question. The 2nd season may have been a little weaker than the first season, for reasons I don't want to get into because I don't want to give any spoilers, but it was in no way bad or even a let down. It just went in some directions that I didn't expect it to go, and it added a storyline or two that wasn't a part of Fallout 3 or New Vegas.
But my view on it is why make a TV show that is a direct ripoff of one of the possible storylines from the games? Just play the game again if that's what you're looking for.
What I think is a real shame is that TV shows have gotten so expensive today that instead of having 20-24 episode seasons, we only get 6 or 8 episodes. And then we have to wait a year or two before the next season comes out. I can't hate on Fallout for spending too much money because the set pieces, costumes and special effects are so good, but with only 8 episodes it's over way too quickly and then we're stuck waiting until 2027 sometime for the next season to start.

I think it works as its funny and very different
the Dog and Ghoul were game characters, these type of mutant cyborg people were in it though as game character types you could recruit

A 2D chess Fallout show would probably be as unwatchable as real chess. 
So far the events taking place were based off of the 3rd and 4th games (not including Fallout Tactics or Brotherhood of Steel). 3 and New Vegas were both 3D, and the sets they've used in the show, especially for the vaults and the New Vegas strip were amazing. The events of the back half of Fallout 3 are going to be front and center for season 3.
The dog has been a character in pretty much every fallout game. In New Vegas it was half robot with a dying human brain inside its head, owned by The King who is a leader of a gang of Elvis Prestley impersonators. You eventually have to get it a new brain later in the game when it gets sick. The dog's personality will permanently change depending on who's brain you give it.
Walton Goggins' ghoul character wasn't in any of the games. They made him up for the show. I'm sure they're considering the show canon since Todd Howard is pretty deeply involved with it, but the show is the first instance in the IP where we're seeing flashbacks and learning about people before the war started, so none of his family were in the games either. The only look back on pre-war events you usually got in the games was reading about things that happened on computer terminals or finding pre-war books and footage. I'm pretty sure most people who played the games skipped most of that reading, and it almost seems like they've made that kind of lore just for YouTubers to devote entire channels to lore of not only Fallout games, but Elder Scroll's games and Dark Souls games as well.
At least through new Vegas, I believe the only time you could play a ghoul character was in Brotherhood of Steel on XBox, which I think is the only game in the series not considered canon. It's possible you could play a ghoul in Fallout 4 or the online Fallout '76, but I haven't played either of those. There are ghoul characters you can recruit though, and plenty that you just interact with like any other NPC. The most famous one is probably Raul from New Vegas who was voiced by Danny Trejo.
One of the things I've always liked about Fallout was seeing how a parallel world that evolved technologically differently than we did. Like how they've figured out how to create all sorts of robots, including medical robots that can hover over the ground and install new human brains into half-robot dogs, but they never invented cell phones.
Here's hoping we visit Vault 108 in Season 3.

One of these days I will own a computer good enough to emulate Dark Souls 2/3, Bloodborne and Elden Ring. I've only played the first 2 of the games in the series and it's probably tied with Fallout as my favorite of all time.
Man... I can't believe Bloodborne turned 15 this year. God I'm old.

For real though... You just can't make a good Mortal Kombat movie.
As cool as it was when it first blew our minds in the arcades as kids, there isn't really much interesting story to work with. I felt the same thing when they were talking about making that Twisted Metal streaming show they put out and I never bothered watching. There are certain games that just aren't translatable to movies/tv without adding a ton of back story, and these are in that group.
This is what Mortal Kombat is good for...
Parody. It's good for parody.
But only if you have funny people who understand how parody works behind it, as Lowbrow Studios clearly does.
