Fallout

Tv series Fallout is back and it's great! Weekly releases will take a little bit longer for entire S2 to air, and that is OK.

Looking at the S2E1 a step up and significant upgrade in all areas and domains is noticeable, and the production is An Upgrade for sure.

The Ghoul and Lucy "wastelanding", Norm "breaking out", all the flashbacks, and all the stuff with the Brotherhood that will follow up, and "The Looming Shadow" the Enclave looming from the shadow..

Likely S2 will be another blast!

Fallout might just be the best show on TV out there.

The world-building, the sense of adventure, the performances are all top notch. I really love the '50s sound track (what show couldn't use a little Johnny Cash now and then?) and the quirky sense of humour that lightens the mood.

What really sets this show apart though are the characters. If you've been watching any sci-fi or fantasy fiction over the last decade or so, you can't help but notice the number of girlbosses out there - basically young women who are inexplicably good at everything, who never face any real challenges and frequently have their best moments at the expense of their blundering male compatriots.

Well, Lucy MacLean is no girlboss. She's intelligent, resourceful and brave - heroic, even - but she also starts off the show as hopelessly out of her depth, makes serious mistakes and has to learn from those around her like Maximus to survive.

Maximus himself has a great arc, starting off as a squire desperate to prove himself and becoming a battle-hardened warrior by the end of the first season.

All of which is to say that these are heroes you can genuinely root for, which isn't something you can say about many shows nowadays.

And what can you say about the Ghoul? Honestly, you could watch the show just for him.

This show surprised me with how good it actually is. No "message". Not overtaken by "modern themes". Just good characters, doing their thing, part of a good story, fitting to what the show is. There obviously is a satire as a remark about some real world aspects and the real world as a whole, but that is nothing new for Fallout, and not an out of nowhere "modern" addition.

Everything is doing well.

This show is very entertaining, plot is also very good, acting is amazing. I love the development between characters and the way they interact. This show adds a bit of everything to the show as for examples action, bit of horror, comedy, thriller aspects. Show it keeps u engaged the whole time. Great show.

Really awesome show. Not a regular drama, not a regular sci fi, not a regular post apocalypse either, while combining all three mentioned, adding some humour, dark humour and satire, and more.

With Fallout it's obvious that it is a video game adaptation, and that's a good thing, because it is. Hard part with RPGs is the story shaped the way for player to chose where it will go, resulting with different player experiences, and in this case the story was done well for the show, and can be interpreted in more than one or couple of ways. Feels like playing the game.

If season 2 will be as good as it looks to be, then Fallout will really get it going..
