Fallout’s transition to TV starts with a bang (or three depending on how you’re counting). But even after the show emerges from the vault, the hits keep coming. That’s because unlike a lot of other video game adaptations that receive a thin veneer designed to appeal to fans of the source material, the essence of Fallout runs so deep throughout this series it could weather an atomic blast. Its characters are magnetic and its visuals are downright impressive. But most importantly, just like HBO’s The Last of Us, Fallout is more than just a video game adaptation. It’s a really good show in its own right – an apocalyptically good one at that.
It remains to be seen if the opinion the author of the review this snippet is taken from runs parallel to my own, but this blurb encapsulates all that most fans want, so I quoted it. I have seen multiple refernces to Westworld, and that could be a very good thing, but for the love of all that is holy and superman, PLEASE let that only be the original movie or season 1 of the show. As it is right now I don't know whether to be excited or dejected hearing that.
