My kids and I watched the first two episodes last night, and I'm impressed. It feels like Fallout. I like the characters so far, and they squeeze in enough game references to keep my brain spiking with recognition.

We set the bar pretty low on video game adaptations, but I feel this one's doing alright so far!

What does everyone else think? (Let's keep spoilers to a minimum. Most of us probably weren't able to watch the whole thing in one night.)

Bethesda games have always been weird to me.

It’s an M rated game, so I can huff fictional drugs that slow down time, make me smarter and faster, and then hit a man with a bat and watch him turn into a literal pile of blood, guts, and limbs. Oh and if I get addicted to anything I can take a different drug that fixes it all in seconds.

But showing one tit would be way too much, man.

I like that the show actually explored some of the more human aspects of fallout. What is like for Lucy to actually see real violence for the first time, and experience cruelty. How a guy like Maximus would have no sex education to speak of because he’s been raised in a paramilitary cult since he was 5, and it’s not like you’re gonna ask your commanding officer why your PP gets hard sometimes.

There is nudity in a scene in a later episode. Not of Lucy tho, if that's what you're complaining about it lacking.

Edit: Wait, maybe you're talking about the games.
