Amazon's upcoming TV take on Fallout continues to look incredible, and we appear to be on the precipice of a bold new world in which video game adaptations, like HBOs The Last of Us, don't have to be terrible. Over three minutes, the insanity and «vibe» of the bizarre post-apocalyptic setting are damn-near perfectly captured, and we can't help but get our hopes up for this one.
From the incredible costuming, fantastic casting, and production pedigree, we can't wait to see where the series goes. Amazon's adaptation will follow protagonist Lucy (Ella Purnell), a Vault Dweller who emerges from the safety of the only home she has ever known into the savage Wasteland of a devastated Los Angeles. Interestingly, showrunner Geneva Robertson-Dworet has said the Vault itself is an allegory for «peaceful utopias» like Canada or New Zealand, exploring how people outside of the Vault struggle and suffer in ways those inside couldn't even imagine.
