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.

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).
