I've the opportunity to watch it and i want to know if it's worth it or not, because game-based shows are known to be not that great.

Edit : at the moment i write this, im at episode 3, they seems to have respected the game's lore even if i disagree with the cause they choose in the scenario to force the hero to left the vault.

Is the writing like fallout though? Or is it gonna just be some soap opera like the walking dead?

Trust me... The writing is very much with the same dark/silly humor as the game. You even get characters ignoring their main quests and going to clear side quests.

I just watched the first episode and I’m pretty pleased. However, my friend watching with me had never played the games and I’m sure was rolling their eyes each time I said, “that’s in the game, that’s in the game!” And my reflex to hold my thumb up the moment I saw Vault Boy with that lasso.

Not soap opera-y at all imo, 4 episodes in. It's great, it feels like the fallout world 100%
