Yes! I can't remember when I was last this excited for a show!

6pm PT is 2am here I think though, confusing article seen as it's from the UK editor but USA timings only mentioned.

Looks to be getting decent reviews. This and TLOU - are we seeing a renaissance and redemption for videogame adaptations? Will videogame adaptations be like comic book movies?

I think they're well on their way! Personally, I couldn't be happier about it. There are so many great games that could become movies. I'm hyped for the upcoming Horizon series!

Yeah I feel that they needed someone to show how it is done right. Like Fallout had the jump suits, power armour, ghoul make up like the games, but also didn't adapt a fallout game story (so at least they can make it their own). I think if they're basing a TV show or movie on a game then they need to get the look right first and foremost, the story can be more fluid. Marvel has shown that with their series: Iron Man retains his iconic red and silver armour, Cap still throws a shield, and Hulk is still a big green giant, but the story rarely follows a comic beat for beat

I know what you mean. I've only watched the first few episodes, but I'm a fan of Fallout's approach so far (no spoilers). I think they've nailed the game world but have decided to take inspiration from Fallout stories and characters while inventing great new characters.

No spoilers! I've watched 6 out of the 8 episodes so far and I am obsessed.

You can tell many people throughout the production understood the soul of the Fallout series and didn't just slap its name on a generic apocalypse show. Its brilliant!

The attention to detail on the set and sound design is remarkable, down to the fridges, ovens, and the sound of a stimpack! I'm only three episodes in, but I love it.

I've watched the first two episodes. It's a lot sillier than I was expecting but it's fun so far. Great to see Michael Emerson, I wish he was in more things
