Fallout

Fully successful introduction of Fallout to TV. Pretty good show for gamers and non gamers. Has and does everything right. Action, drama, war, post apocalypse, serious joined with satire, all combined runs quite clever.

A great watch. Intrigue and fun, highly entertaining, and to extent depressingly real in some aspects.

Also those familiarized with the games will notice numerous details with admirable accuracy.

Surprisingly good and well made show. It looks like well thought out and planned too.

Characters have depth, stories and back stories, acting is good, production value is high. Accuracy to the world of Fallout is immaculate. The world of Fallout is being introduced to TV quite well, and the story is slowly expanding. Occasionaly overly intricate, while the good side of that, is that following seasons will continue on story-rich.

Use of practical props and amount those made for the show is admirable.

Show as a whole with no major flaws, can be upgraded to even higher levels.

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..

No too much diving into heavy drama, character drama, and all the stuff that, truth to be told, does not exist in video games overall, or more accurately said, there is no emphasis on that in video games mostly. Still, characters in Fallout show have more than solid development and arcs, often leaning or entering into drama, while kept a video game style, for this case true Fallout games style, that are still just a starting point in the first season, building for multi season series. Very similar is with the world building, that is immense, while paced to avoid being too overwhelming, considering how big the Fallout world is, and over what long time period it extends, while also is a story-telling tool, simplest example of that is the airship seen, arrived all the way from the East/North East US, with a mid-stop likely in Utah, ultimately all the way West..

In addition to massive lore and extensive source material, show on its own, same as the source material itself, doesn't make it obvious, doesn't spoon feed, and instead frames it into several layers, of which two of the most importance are surface easy going, and in depth complex below. The former mostly serves distraction by fun and enjoyment, the latter tells what actually is what..

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.
