There is plenty of humor mixed in with the “drama” if you can call it that. I guess the ending was a bit dramatic, definitely left me wanting but I think it was a good place to leave the story for know. I feel it takes the source seriously, while also taking the goofiness of the gameplay seriously as well. It gets better throughout, there are a few campy scenes but again fallout is a bit goofy. The violence mixed with soundtrack has always felt light and cheery somehow, almost maybe what being a bit crazy from living in the wasteland would make most people. Also sometimes the first season of shows haven’t quite hit there true level of quality yet, so far I think Fallout is closer than most out of the gate. Between The Last Of Us and Fallout, both shows have nailed down their universe and tone almost perfectly.

Part of my issue is people said amazing things then I just couldn't get into it.

I'm also old and grumpy.

I did enjoy Twisted Metal though.

I can relate when things get overhyped I tend to avoid them until I haven’t been forced to hear about it for awhile, some things it’s been months or years, some I may never watch.
