The Beginning - S1-E8

Trivia: Walton Goggins' character is named Cooper Howard. Likely in reference to Todd Howard, the executive designer and director of the Fallout series of video games at Bethesda Studios, the company that now owns the rights to the franchise and is named at The Beginning of every episode of the show.

Season 1 generally

Trivia: Cooper/The Ghoul makes a comment about being "sidetracked by bullshit every goddamn time" at one point during the first season. This is a reference to the video games, which feature dozens and dozens of side-quests that players can complete, and often can distract the player from the main narrative.

The End - S1-E1

Trivia: When Lucy goes to the armory, she finds it completely gutted except for the syringer she picks up and uses throughout the season. It was the only thing left in the armory because the syringer is the worst weapon in the game and nobody EVER takes it.

Captain Defenestrator

The End - S1-E1

Factual error: Looking at a nuclear explosion that close will burn your retinas irreparably. One can be blind 30 miles away, just by seeing the flash. The little girl at the start is looking directly at the explosion when it hits, and continues to watch.
