Three episodes in, the Fallout TV series absolutely nails it

Amazon has had a rocky history with big, geeky properties making their way onto Prime Video. The Wheel of Time wasn't for everyone, and I have almost nothing good to say about The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
Fallout, the first season of which premiered this week, seems to break that bad streak. All the episodes are online now, but I've watched three episodes so far. I love it.
I've spent hundreds of hours playing the games that inspired it, so I can only speak to that experience; I don't know how well it will work for people who never played the games. But as a video game adaptation, it's up there with The Last of Us.
