It’s official: video game adaptations are officially good now. The latest bit of evidence is Prime Video’s new series Fallout, which airs on April 11 and has been racking up plenty of positive reviews.
Based on the video game franchise of the same name, Fallout is set in an apocalyptic alternate timeline in which America has been levelled by nuclear bombs. “Fans of the game series will love it,” wrote the Standard in a four-star review. “This is about as close to a completely faithful adaptation that you could expect, showcasing everything from the various radioactive creatures to the familiar locations like vaults and desert towns. And the show reaffirms what the games already showed – that fictional violence can be very funny.”
