My kids and I watched the first two episodes last night, and I’m impressed. It feels like Fallout. I like the characters so far, and they squeeze in enough game references to keep my brain spiking with recognition.
We set the bar pretty low on video game adaptations, but I feel this one’s doing alright so far!
What does everyone else think? (Let’s keep spoilers to a minimum. Most of us probably weren’t able to watch the whole thing in one night.)
Something I’ve noticed in high-budget productions from the last ten years or so: studios do a lot less with extras than they used to. Instead, budget is poured into CGI, and very creative use of sets and shots is done to give the illusion of a densely populated situation. Kind of like Star Trek.
