So, there’s a prestige, high-budget TV show based on Fallout , and it’s not only pretty great, it’s also so successful that a second season has already been greenlit. Perhaps the most surprising thing about this is how unsurprising it has become – how little time it took for us all to become blasé about video games properties being adapted into high-quality, well-received TV shows and movies.

What were you expecting? That being said, it was pretty fun.
