The Fallout TV show is something a lot of fans have been waiting for, and with good reason. The success of live-action adaptations such as The Last of Us

    Weird. I really enjoyed it. Loved the characters, liked the story, and all the little nods to the games and fandom were nice and didn’t feel out of place. Probably one of the better adaptations I’ve seen.

        Maybe the title was changed after posting, but it’s more reasonable on the actual article

      it got better halfway through or so (as a person who never played the games) but really had to just go with the ridiculousness of the world.

        I’m glad they kept the ridiculousness. They could have made it super serious and edgy, and I don’t think it would have fit as well.

          yeah. once I treated it as more a fantasy show and less a scifi it greatly improved my experience.
