Just finished this, so good, much childhood feels. Why isn't anyone talking about it?

I recently finished watching Season 1, and I have just one thing to say: it stands as the finest live-action adaptation of a video game to date.

Across characters, world-building, storyline, visual effects, sound effects, editing, and music, it excels. The closest comparison might be HBO's "The Last of Us," but even that had its minor flaws. This sets a new standard for adaptation. Filmmakers = please wake up and know the opportunity of turning other games into live-action adaptations (but to be honest, some work best in animation while others live-action).

As a long-time fan of the Fallout series from its classic iterations (and yes, I'm still exploring Fallout 4 and Skyrim after all this time), I found the adaptation faithful to the games. From the iconic suits and Pip-Boy to the vault itself, even the sound effects were faithfully replicated from the game. What truly sealed it for me, though, was the music. They cleverly incorporated most of the original soundtrack while taking some liberties without losing the essence. I had to replay the bit where they played the familiar Fallout theme music.

Each of the three main characters is developed with depth, making you genuinely care about their journey and well-being. This isn't one of those shows where something happens to a character and you're just "OK" with it. You're invested. Their stories, intertwined yet distinct, unfold brilliantly.

Lucy's character blossomed, stepping out of her shell. Maximus was opportunistic at every turn. The Ghoul, initially despised, becomes more nuanced as his motivations are revealed.

Every episode shines; there's not a single weak link in the chain. However, a word of caution about the final episode: it may prompt you to reassess everything you've seen. While some argue it doesn't stray from the Fallout universe, for me, it's a bold direction taken in the adaptation. And there's nothing inherently wrong with that.

Eagerly anticipating Season 2, especially after its recent green light.

It's surprisingly an enjoyable series with no woke content being shoved down your throat. They stayed with the original content and lore as much as possible. Season 1 is about world building and they did it well in my opinion, so I'm hyped for Season 2 which is now confirmed.

Hoping to see radscorpions and of course deathclaw in the next season.
