I get pretty easy depressed watching TV shows with a depressing tone or a lot of character deaths or that. If its more in the background its generally fine, but things like Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and The Boys are a lot for the moment. How does the new Fallout show compare?

Edit: Came back after watching it. Its depressing, but nowhere near as bad as people made it sound. No main character deaths, main characters do stupid stuff but are generally good people, and while things are grim and dark, there is hope for progress despite everything.

    I’d second this take. I see so many elements that typically get “updated” or “refreshed” when IPs are adapted to different media. I’ve often thought this is a vain attempt to appeal to the non-“fanboys” and appear more accessible. This show does NOT do that and it’s fucking amazing.
