Fallout was brilliant, but I think worked so well because it was a new story set in that universe and not a retelling. didn’t see The Last of Us but never played the game so nothing to based it on if I had.
Another one that comes to mind that was well done (just not as good as the source) was the live action One Piece. Watching just the first episode made me actually want to watch the Anime and 1000 episodes later here I am. They have bit off more than they can chew with that though, considering how bonkers that shit gets, but at least the first season was a faithful adaptation.
