The TV show starring actress Ella Purnell joined Amazon's Prime Video catalog in mid-April. In addition to receiving praise for presenting a fun and dramatic story that respects the essence of the source material, it was a ratings success and captivated millions of viewers during its premiere.
The success of this production was reflected in the commercial performance of the video games of the Bethesda and Microsoft franchise.
