I watched Fallout and Silo in close succession and they felt like an inversion in terms of which parts were good.

Fallout felt like it's scene to scene dialog was well written, but it's overarching plot felt kind of nonsensical. Silo felt like it's scene to scene writing was a little cheesy, but it's bigger plot beats were far more nuanced and interesting.

I honestly have more faith that, being based on a series of books, Silo will turn out to be the better show. Fallout could be good, but it felt way more like the writers were laying down the tracks in front of the train as it was already rolling.... Though again, at this point in time, Fallout's still nowhere close to the level of bad writing that was the star wars prequels, let alone the newer three.
