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.

We've only watched the first couple of episodes and found it a bit too cartoony for our tastes.

One question I have for anyone who has watched the whole season - the question is a spoiler for anyone who hasn't seen the first episode.

Tap for spoiler

Do they ever address the fact that the main character is raped in the first episode? Because it didn't come up in the second episode and we're unsure of whether the show creators are even aware they had a rape scene in their show.

Not really, but I’m not even sure the character herself would qualify it as rape based on her upbringing, so that could be why.

I really wish they hadn't included it. I personally found it unenjoyable to watch those first couple episodes because of it.

(Dear reader: If you're first reaction to my opinion is that sexual violence against women in this setting is realistic and fits in the show, 1) this is a series with mutant animals caused by radiation and a guy in a robot suit 2) you don't think much of your fellow man if you think it's inevitable 3) it's just like, my opinion, man)

I haven't watched the whole first season but we're about halfway through and they didn't mention it again. It would have been worse if the main character herself felt more... harmed, but she seems very utilitarian about it. I feel pretty mid about the show overall (for more reasons than just this), and I'm just really tired of acts of sexual violence showing up in media that's meant to be goofy entertainment.

There's also murder and significant gore as well

In the game, too.

I must point out, I don’t remember sexual violence being part of the game (I played only 3 and 4, though).
