It's a very good setting for a show or mini series, but the way the IP's current owners have handled it so far gives me pause. Hopefully the writers will be competent enough to not resort to the "radiation and mutations are basically magic" writing that's been all too common with Bethesda.
I mean we already saw mutants (NOT Super Mutants or Centaurs) in the form of Chris Parnell's Overseer Cyclops in the trailer. The rest of the shots (especially the Yao Guai tearing up that Paladin) make me think it'll be more lore-accurate.
