Here is my opinion. There is too much 'Fallout-ness' to put into 8 episodes. More emphasis is placed on character development, and pre-war developments. Season 1 I will title, "The Good, the Bad and the Ghoul". Season 2 will be the next "New Vegas". It will be a slow drip.
As I already said, they condensed the lore. The music, it 'blasts' in Fallout 3, New Vegas and 4, as it did in the TV series. This being not a game, there is no control.
For what it is, I gave it 9/10. There have been lore deciders that I don't approve, and it not even about the NCR.
