Todd Howard, one of the creative minds behind theFalloutgames, is serving as an executive producer on theFalloutTV show. He seems to be very satisfied with how it’s turned out, evencomparing theFalloutshow to a futureFallout 5. He doesn’t mean that the show will replace the next game in the series, but rather that the show is so well made and true to its source material that it could have.
