I get pretty easy depressed watching TV shows with a depressing tone or a lot of character deaths or that. If its more in the background its generally fine, but things like Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and The Boys are a lot for the moment. How does the new Fallout show compare?

Edit: Came back after watching it. Its depressing, but nowhere near as bad as people made it sound. No main character deaths, main characters do stupid stuff but are generally good people, and while things are grim and dark, there is hope for progress despite everything.

    That said, it is an absolutely brilliant and faithful adaptation of the source material, and as a long time fan of the games, I loved every minute of it.

    I’ve only watched the first three episodes so far and there’s already some retcon, plus a certain faction that should control the region which is nowhere to be seen. And a certain faction that shouldn’t be there and yet is. It’s not that faithful. Not a bad show really but it shouldn’t be canon.

      I’ll admit, I’m not deep enough of a lore whore to pick out the retcons.

      This is the futherest in the future as far as timeline goes, so watch the show to see who controls the region now and what happened to said faction.
