Fallout

Robust source material, large world, and long history.

Fallout show doesn't force explaining everything, and instead dives into, what occasionally can be confusing to those not familiarised with it all, while also prompts exploring.

Retro future analogue world that resembles '50s, '60s of 20th century, in combination with highly advanced nuclear tech, resulting in advanced vacuum, EM and other similar, and -connected to- appliances..

A new story and timeline, instead that of existing game, is another positive for the show and the franchise..

2nd season is filming or close to wrapping it, and if fully finished and released by late 2025 to early 2026, and with season 1 quality or improved, it's going to be epic..

The test of a good TV series is how much you want to watch the next episode after the previous one has finished. Fallout absolutely passes this test, with me wanting to immediately move to the next episode every time.

The first couple of episodes are quite full of exposition and world building, but once the setting is done, the episodes are uniformly excellent.

The story had four main threads; Lucy (the naïve but plucky girl from a vault), Maximus (the idealistic Brotherhood of Steel grunt), Cooper (a ghoul) and Cooper (in flashback, a Hollywood star). The world has a different history to ours; 1950s tech is more advanced, but with the same aesthetics. And the bomb dropped then as well.

The writing builds both character and tension, slowly weaving mystery and reveals, with frequent dark humour and genuine heart. All the characters feel real, despite their bizarre and post-apocalyptic setting, and they all merit empathy.

Roll on season 2!

Immaculate adaptation. Looks and feels and sounds like the games, also "behaves" like the games too.

Obviously, as it is a TV show, TV stuff was added and mixed with it, while all without losing the games vibe, and with TV stuff being pretty good, and well made too. Almost unbelievable that we got a pretty good TV show, that stays true to, and respects the source material, while also capturing the essence of it.., must be one in a hundred, or more likely, a thousand..plus..

Very interested to see what and how it will do with the next, and if that one goes well, other upcoming seasons. Somehow it looks and feels it will be great.

Big fan of the Fallout series so was very worried about this. Was blown away about how well they adapted, superb. Perfect translation of Fallout to TV. Loved all the actors, loved the plot, characters, writing, action, effects. Totally addictive, suspect non-Fallout fans will Love this also. Characterisation of all characters was complete, enjoyable, changeable. Such a breath of fresh air to see such good, intelligent, creative writing. Addictive viewing from start to end. Really hope they continue this and is an example of good TV for other programs. Highly recommend and look forward to more.

The world building in the show is very precise.. and ig it would be more accurate and fabulous in the next episode.

You would find no moment that would bore you.

Ella purnell was fantastic in the role and so was walton goggins, the ghoul was like my favourite character in the show.

Depiction of the vaults and how a vault dweller encounters the world above, was very good.

Story sails very smooth, and i think even for the people who know nothing about the fallout franchise, it's very entertaining and gripping.

There's a lot of content that the show could use from the game so fingers crossed for the next season.
