Looks sucky.
It’s based on a very kitschy video game series that was a little fun in the mixing of genres. Go back to the 50’s. Not the real 50’s but the movie trope 50’s… Hoola hoops, poodle skirts, Leave it to Beaver type of 50’s. Mix in the beginnings of the bomb shelter craze… Create a huge and very expensive community bomb shelter network run by a kind of Disneyesque company. Nuclear war hits, all the rich people go into their shelters, and live X number of years in a very 1950’s manner.
They come out of the shelter decades later and have to survive in a world of mutants, warlords, robots gone wild, and more. The games are kind of fun, but I always lost interest 1/3 of the way through…

I loved the games. Hopefully it will be like that.

Like I said, I generally liked the games… Just kinda faded out on completing them. Something else pops up and such… I might try to go back to the last one and try again.

The show is getting some great reviews - it also dropped a day early.
I'm going to watch some of it over the weekend, I think. I'm looking forward to revisiting the world.

I watched the first episode tonight. I liked it - it's a pretty good recreation of the game world. Very dark humour.
If you haven't played the games it might not be as fun, but I really enjoyed it.

I watched the first episode last night. It was good! Unfortunately, Karla joined me 10 minutes in and now she wants to watch with me, which means I will never get to see anymore.

You could feel the Westworld vibes…

Sigh, any ideas how to watch something on Prime, but then reset it so it looks like you didn’t?

No, but why would you want to?
When I first started watching, Karla came in 10 minutes into the show and watched with me. Now it’s a show for us to watch together… Do you know how often our schedules match up to watch a show together?
