Fallout

Amongst the best game adaptations ever and good TV. Not easy to balance between the two. Off balance can go too game or too TV. In this case, in balance. Almost perfect balance really..

Premise appears simple but it is more than that. More one looks, more it looks like what is presumed might not be. Some things are left ambiguous, other do not add up, while for example, what is presumed to be a MacGuffin, isn't because got actual value added to it, having impact and effect, as well as what it is, what it does, and its origin revealed..

Great season that ends with promising finale, and as continues from there, season two might just be even better..

I watched several shows and movies this year, more or less good, or not that good, some fewer than few actually very good. Somehow in all that, I missed or more like skipped, postponed Fallout, because it is hard not to be aware of the show, and aware of it, I just didn't take upon myself to watch it...

Well, better late than never, as they say, because THIS SHOW, not that much of a drama, nor overtaken by dark, depressing tone, still elements of drama, mixed with, and sometimes built on irony and sarcasm, plot heavy with more extensive character development than expected, action, and lower than lowest amount of exposition in traditional form, pointing to well written, sketched and thought out, IS AWESOME.

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.

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.

It took a while for it to click, but by the end of episode three I was hooked. As is often the case, the first two episodes feel a bit disjointed and expository. However, the characters are interesting right from the start. The two main characters in particular, with their naivety and chutzpah, are well drawn and strongly cast. Walton Goggins is the perfect antagonist, who initially comes across as a stereotype that is increasingly deconstructed over time. I don't know the video game at all, but the complexity of the story is impressive without being overwhelming. I'm really looking forward to season 2.
