Fallout

Turned out excellent. For gamers especially, and for non-gamers alike. It has everything and does everything right. Action, drama, sci-fi, adventure, survival, war, post apocalypse, gritty stuff, serious stuff, heavy stuff, and comedical, satirical stuff that is quite clever. In a way mocks the real world, while the real world (too)often makes a mockery of itself..

All in all, great show, great watch, combines fun and intrigue, highly entertaining, while gloomily, almost depressingly real in some aspects, while those familiarized with the game franchise, will notice abundance of details in all their accuracy..

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..

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.

My thoughts on Fallout are hard to put into words. In my eyes, it is the most successful series adaptation of a video game. I also find The Last of Us great and it captivated me, but Fallout makes me addicted in a way that no series has done for a long time. The last time I felt this way was with The Mandalorian Season One, which was also a fantastic series. But Fallout is so incredible that I want to play all the games again and consume even more content from this universe.

The main story, in my opinion, is coherent, and there is a cool plot twist at the end that really shocked me. I learned more about Walter and the series itself, as well as the Fallout universe. It remains one of the best series of recent years for me. I hope they maintain this quality.

The series has humor, great music, and the soundtrack is truly top-notch. Songs like "We'll Meet Again" and "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire" are fantastic. I also fell a bit in love with Lucy. I find the actress great and she is just too pretty, but that's just a side note. I m simply enchanted.

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.
