As someone who dug into it without knowing anything about the fallout stories, I found it really mind numbingly dull for the first 3/4 of the season. It wrapped up at the end nicely and was a good series, but it felt like they weren't spending enough time on one of the 4 or so main character arcs to keep my attention. Like they knew they had a whole season so they cut everything up and made it as boring as they could... I forced my way through it and am glad I did, but yeah - getting there was more mind numbing than other shows I've watched in recent past.
