The Fallout TV show once again proves that with the right creative team, videogames can be adapted to almost anything. It’s not about breaking some huge, mythical, videogame movie curse. More simply, shows like The Last of Us, and, in fact, the Sonic films, prove that all you need is a good understanding of the source material and the ability to process that into a watchable story. Amazon’s Fallout show does this. It has strong characters and uses them to flesh out the retro-futurist post-apocalypse in surprising ways. That said, the final shot of the show’s first season raises one big question, and I’m apprehensively waiting to see how it’s handled.
