I agree. I’m holding out hope that this is well done because I love post-apocalyptic media. The visual style makes me think the show’s tone will be light/campy.
Girl got scared by a tumbleweed. Camp incoming for sure.
I’m holding out hope as well, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it failed for the same reasons Cowboy Bebop’s adaptation failed: campy, tone-deaf, 1-dimensional writing and straying from the source material too much.
But I really hope I’m pleasantly surprised.
UPDATE: I actually was pleasantly surprised. It has a bit of camp in there, but that’s to be expected of most shows nowadays. But other than that, it understood the assignment. Characters feel dynamic and not one-dimensional, the additions to the lore feel at home, and it was clearly made by people who played the games. There’s some okay acting, and also some really great acting. Tone is mostly there, and it doesn’t pull any punches from the nastier aspects of the Wasteland. Interested to see where season 2 goes.
