I play the games, but fully expected it to be a shitshow. I was pleasantly surprised at how drawn in I was. I could give two shits about the wokeness of it, it's Amazon, so if you expected anything less you are fucking retarded. But either way, it's not for everyone, surely. The sets look terrific, the acting is at least on par with this sort of thing. I do like the gory aspect of the show, they aren't flinching away from the blood. The games are pretty gory, but the graphics tend to take the edge off. Seeing someone's head popped like a grape was pretty cool. We are 4 episodes in, and watching a couple each night. Overall I am happy with the way it's going and will continue to watch it.
As for the game aspect, it follows the basic setting very well. Hopelessly naive vault dwellers, Vault-Tec doing sinister Vault-Tec things, the monsters, caps, Brotherhood of Steel, all seem to be well done as compared to the games. There are a few small details I noticed that are not typical of how things are done in the games, like how the vault door opened, but there are a ton of things shown or mentioned that are straight out of the game. So much better than many other shows and movies based on games.
