Main criticisms seem to be the tone which is fine, Fallout tone won't gel with everyone, so if you love the games you should love this and a weird criticism from RollingStone that Fallout released in 1997 is ripping off Apple's Silo released in 2023 based on a trilogy of novels released in 2011, Lol. Plus a weird complaint about the soundtrack...

And speaking of that clash of worldviews, find someone who loves you like this show loves to ironically juxtapose scenes of despair or stylized, gory violence with upbeat or wistful Forties and Fifties pop songs. The premiere's big action set piece plays out to the sounds of "Some Enchanted Evening," while a later episode alone features Tennessee Ernie Ford's "Sixteen Tons," The Platters' "Only You," and Dinah Washington's "What A Diff'rence A Day Makes" — all great songs, but ones that are probably due for retirement from all soundtracks, and particularly from this type of usage. The songs, and many of the performances, signal that the series is meant to be a satiric adventure. More often than not, though, it's as if the creative team was able to settle on a comedic tone without coming up with nearly enough jokes to match.

That's Fallout bro...It uses old fashioned songs, Lol.

So criticisms are Fallout being Fallout?

I highly doubt critics bothered looking into the history of the series. Which tbh, is fair. The showrunners should always be focusing on catering to both veterans of the series and those who have no familiarity with the series. You can't expect everyone who is watching the show to have also played the game. That's just unrealistic. 

Looks like Jonathan Nolan did a hell of a job in doing so overall!
