The whole first season was just released, 8 episodes, and is available right now. The show is Fallout. Based on a video game that is set in an alternate history where Nuclear War was fought in the '50s and now it's 200+ years later and survivors are separated between the surface dwellers and those whose ancestors could afford a place in the Vaults, high tech sustainable underground habitats.
The show is character driven, with a good cast, including Walton Goggins of Justified fame. Special effects are pretty damn good, as you'd expect from Amazon, and if you like oldies, the soundtrack is awesome. Hits from the 40s and 50s. I liked it and I think it's worth a look. It's definitely not a sequel or remake, which is all Hollywood seems to make these days. The good thing is you don't have to have played the game to understand it. I've never played the game and I got it just fine. If you've got some time, check it out.
