I haven't seen the Fallout show and don't care to, but it does raise an interesting point.
So much of the Fallout tone is the straight-faced nonsense. The PLAYER knows the world is a joke, but everyone in the world takes it seriously. Even when they joke, they joke while taking the world seriously.
I'm not sure how I'd translate that to a show. I think it'd get real grating.
Of course, each game took itself more seriously, so maybe we just forget the setting is a farce.
I can't think of many recent movies or shows set in a farce of a world. The few I can think of are either accidental (Bay Transformers) or child-targeted comedies (Ninja Turtles).
Maybe a black comedy would be the thing, I can think of a few horror movies like that. But those aren't really Fallout. Even the well-written Fallouts weren't black comedies.
