IMHO it is the best of those three. Justified is also a most excellent series and Goggins is great in that, although not the leading character.

Regarding Fallout: which Fallout? Haven't played Fallout 76 (don't do multiplayer, reflexes aren't that quick), but FO NV, FO3, and FO4 are all great, immersive games that one can spend weeks exploring the vast wastelands. Kinda weird he'd do a ghoul, but guess he is a ghouley sort of character.

I saw this today:

The story unfolds in a post-apocalyptic and retro-futuristic setting in the mid-22nd century – decades after a global nuclear war. We follow dwellers in long-term nuclear shelters forced to venture out into the atomic wastes to find essential replacement equipment for the Vault.

Goggins is believed to be playing a Ghoul, a mutated human who experienced prolonged radiation exposure amid the Great War.

The game series has had multiple entries to date and has been critically acclaimed since the first title back in 1997.

Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner are attached to serve as co-showrunners and executive producers, while Jonathan Nolan will direct the pilot. Nolan, Lisa Joy, Athena Wickham, Todd Howard and James Altman will executive produce.

Hmmm... Playing a ghoul... Weird. It'll be interesting to see/hear more.

He was good in that comedy series that was on last year. Fun to see him do comedy. And...he's a strong democrat,
volunteered to campaign for Obama back when.
