Reacting to the trailer on social media, viewers expressed their excitement. One person wrote: "The attention to detail is astounding," while another added: "This show is such a treat for Fallout fans."

The drama, which has been hailed as a "masterpiece" by viewers, is based on the video game of the same name and tells the "story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there's almost nothing left to have". 

The synopsis continues: "200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind—and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them."
