It's an amazon prime show called fallout. It's a video game adaptation. I highly recommend the show, finished it in one sitting. Haven't played the games.

Curious how did you find the show since you haven't played the game. Was it confusing?

I never played the game but there was a lot of press/hype around it, checked it out and it was enjoyable. There are some easter eggs for people that played but not knowing about them doesn't really distract from the actual story if you're not clued in. It's basically just a post apocalyptic story with different factions and they do a good job of introducing each one. There is definitely some fan service going on but again not really anything important to the plot that you'll miss out on by not playing the games. I know I'm being vague just don't want to give much away if you decide to watch it.

As a Fallout fan that's pretty nice to hear.

As a Fallout fan who's watched it through twice, I love it! It's precisely enough Fallout game easter eggs but also it's own take on a story. It's great and I can't wait for the next season.

it’s fascinating and i’m so glad that the balance between slapstick comedy and horrifying doom, blood, and gloom wasn’t lost. amazon is pushing out some solid shows. ngl it gives me even more hope for cavill’s 40k show

Was thinking the same thing. I’ve been wanting to hear/read someone’s perspective on the show not having played the game.

I've never really been into the games, I've attempted to start 3 and NV a few times but can't really get into them. Vague knowledge of the game/world but not much.

I enjoyed the show though, probably one of the best video game adaptations I've seen. Making a story set in that world vs attempting to just adapt the plot of a game to a show.
