The teaser trailer for Amazon Prime Video's Fallout TV series.
One of the guiding laws of cultural criticism is that you cannot write about a videogame adaptation without mentioning that videogame adaptations suck. And so, when Fallout, Prime Video’s eight-episode version of the beloved gaming franchise, dropped last week, we duly read that Fallout is pretty good for a videogame adaptation.
Unlike so many on-screen dystopias, which have lately been conveyed so tastefully they are more appealing than our current world, Fallout’s landscape is a riveting eyesore. There is an overarching mystery, with which original game players may be familiar, but kept me engaged.But we should maintain perspective: it is still a videogame adaptation. The Last of Us, with its HBO finishings, tricked many into thinking it was somehow prestige television.
