Depends on whether you think you'd find a slapstick parody of Fallout funny or not, because that's what the show has become.

Fallout hasn’t been grimdark serious ever. The Tv show is pretty on par theme wise with the 3D fallouts

If you view Fallout's "satire" flag as permission for Hollywood Leftists to build the most nonsensical version of capitalism trumping basic logic, it's not bad, though even this TV budget leads to a lot of tell don't show moments.

As a canonical entry in the Fallout universe that is invalidating every game it can get its hand on as quickly as possible (starting with the non-Bethesda material first, of course), I'm not sure the vandalism is worth the great production and costume design work.

Did you even play the games? Doesn't matter what the original creator claims his intent was, the games pretty much boil down to "some greedy corporations, people with no morals, and power hungry dudes fuck over the world and now we live in a wasteland". The games will even show good corporations....that get fucked over by larger, greedier ones. Which isn't unrealistic to be honest

...if every character had the Idiot Savant perk and Wild Wasteland was considered canon.

Even then comparing it to the Bethesda games is a stretch, and it's not even remotely close to New Vegas in tone. I didn't think it could get more egregious than what they did with the Brotherhood of Steel in eps 1 & 2, but they set the bar at a new low with their treatment of the Legion. Which of course was made infinitely worse because the entire Legion subplot included Lucy, who is easily one of the most insufferable characters ever written. I didn't think that type of character could ever get more annoying than the one Emily Blunt played in Sicario, but Lucy MacLean is her dialed up to 11. Seeing her do another patronizing lecture to a group like Caesar's Legion and essentially get away with zero repercussions while they acted like yet another bunch of bumbling idiots was the final straw for me.

The legion was dumb AF in FNV and they protrayed them precisely in the show.

They were always a bunch of dorks cosplaying in the desert.
