Fallout

Literally felt like I was on the Truman show watching my own campaign. Whenever I had a criticism of them not implementing a facet of the game I was pleasantly surprised later on. Only thing I'm confused on are the water monsters? Are they murlurks? Don't remember them in the game but maybe I just don't remember. I seriously cannot wait for season 2 and then for this franchise to become 10 times what star wars became. There is seriously not as many imperfections as there are fingers on my hand. If they continue this series of bringing the greatest games to life they might just save the theaters🤣

Actually very very good show. Nine-plus for me, at least. Actually does everything, or overwhelming-most right..

Walton Goggins mostly seems to appear and work with good stuff, and so here he is with Fallout, and the way he plays two characters one person, is just so good and fun, and serious and sad, all at the same time. Goggins is great, and The Ghoul is too.

Lucy, surprisingly isn't bossy, nor immediately successful in everything. Instead, she is likeable character, does the best she can with combination of her knowledge, skill, training, mindset, worldview, and how it all works in practice, faced with reality, while learning in the process.

Maximus is that guy that "does the right thing", or at least he believes so, while having that dose of "selfishness", which is just the trait of a Surfacedweller. He also idolizes the Brotherhood, gets disappointed on his first field mission, facing reality.

Interesting how Maximus and Lucy are going through similar arcs, also joined by previously Cooper Howard now the Ghoul, seen through character's flashbacks, which also serve telling some story, and connecting parts told..

Good stuff !

Fallout is the recipe for how to adapt a video game. A tv show that feels like a video game at the same time. Made for gamers and non gamers. And that is how it should be.

Performances are on point to. Walton Goggins is great. World building is massive and storytelling, while highly accurate to smallest details, and similar to the story for this season that, while wraps its self by the finale, it is establishing overall, serving the purpose for introduction..

Show is very engaging, entertaining and fun, amusing even, also attractive and memorable, while much more intelligent than lets on right away..

Actually only thing that it doesn't have are your good guys and the bad guys. Motivations, goals, intentions, events, are left rather ambiguous or open to interpretation, thus people can see what people want to see, and one can only combine that with previous knowledge of Fallout, then to realize how overarching story has much more depth than it would appear..

Other than that, on the surface, where the show is much fun and also distracting, has pip boys, stimpacks, junk jets, unreliable narrators, several factions are introduced or slightly introduced, some hinted yet to be.., shortly said, has everything..

With all that, and with just a little bit effort and luck, season 2 will be another banger..

I started this show by curiousity, and it was so cool. The show start with some context of how all happened and why all the people are in vaults, but then, it start to go more dark and misterious. The way the different plotlines go connecting little by little is wonderful, and it´s so entertaining. One of the best things of the show (that also, is based on the Fallout games) is that you can enjoy it without playing the games before. The main characters (Lucy, Maximus, The Ghoul) are very solid and likeable. The best thing for me, the last two episodes. Specially the last. The way it connects all the plotlines in the show with a very shocking revelation is perfect. So,¿I recommend this show? Yes. If you like the games or want to watch a good show, this is a very good option.
