Loved the show. Still many ridiculous plot holes

I loved this show. Acting, aesthetics, mood, music. But have to point out plot holes. Yeah, I know it's video game. But still there have to some level of realism to believe in that world. Spoilers, obviously

1. Who cleaned up vault 32? Like in a span of a night all bodies disappeared. Everything got cleaned up and shines like new. And it wasn't 31. Since we know everyone are asleep there. And there are like very few people in 33. And only few 31-ners know truth. And they are royalty and would not clean.

2. How could leaders of 33 not know that in 32 everyone were dead for freaking 2 years? Was that Bad Woman writing fake messages for them for 2 years fooling them into thinking they speak with leaders of 32?

3. It's ridiculous how everyone seems to be alive for 200 years and meet each other like that.

4. It's hilarious how those Vault executive bad guys thought they would blow up surface and wait out in vaults while everyone will die out and then rule earth or something. And then 200 years later and there are real societies live on surface just fine. And random people. While our idiots sit and trapped in their stupid vaults.

5. For people living in closed space for 200 years they are sure wasteful in 33. Waste paper on election posters? Like where does new paper come from? Their uniform shines like new.

6. Bad Woman Leader is presented as Savage Villain who came down with savages and killed so many innocent vault people. Then as Lucy comes to her place she is suddenly Good Woman who fights for right reasons and those people around her are good side. How did she command those savages then?

7. She had feelings for that poor mother of Lucy and had her corpse close to her. Why not bring Lucy and her brother to her then? Why leaving them?

Most of those aren't actually plot holes, but I know what you meant, and yeah, there were a lot of unanswered questions.

To add a few more:

• How did the brother hack into the Overseer’s computer? Why did they just let him into Vault 31?
• Why weren’t Cooper and his family in one of the high-end vaults for rich people when the nukes hit? Shouldn't they have already been in a vault instead of outside eating birthday cake?!
• Most importantly: Why didn’t Cooper's wife, Barb, have advance warning of the bomb, especially since it was her idea?!?

I'm sure most of this will be explored in the next season.

I think brother just hacked Overseer’s computer. It wasn't that hard if he was their tech guy or something. Then he send message to 31 pretending to be 33 boss Betty. Said she needs to come to 31.

31 asked: "Are you compromised?"
He sad: "Mission is not going according to plan".
And they told him (Betty) to come to 31 immediately and opened door.

Honestly those are such minor things that I never paid attention to it. I don't see any plot holes. It's just things in the plot that haven't been explained yet.
