I recall watching Hello Tomorrow which was a quirky atompunk themed comedy from Apple. It wasn’t perfect, it wasn’t especially funny - but it had a charismatic affable liar as a lead that you found sympathetic despite his sleaze, and gave huge pre-war Fallout vibes. Apple silently cancelled it some time ago.

I would also argue Peacock’s attempt at Brave New World. Reimagined for the modern era (because really it had to be) and probably took more from Westworld than it did Brave New World, but it was doomed by being a Peacock original.

    I couldn’t even get through the first episode of Halo. I understand that they didn’t care about the source material at all. To be honest, neither did i. I hardly ever played the game, i liked the book that i got from a friend. But even i realized that they didn’t even care enough to get the sound of the guns right. They made it so hard on themselves just to fail.
