Fallout thrills TV critics as video game adaptation is released

The new eight-part action series is an adaptation of the video game of the same name, and is set in an alternative imagining of the world post-World War II.

It’s hard to think of another video game adaptation that better conveys the sheer, giddy hedonism of a top-notch shoot ‘em up.”

In Fallout, nuclear warfare has led to the emergence of a retrofuturistic society, with people taking refuge in bunkers and battling for resources.
