Fallout

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.

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.

As someone who's casually played the Fallout video games but never got very deep into the lore, I didn't know what to expect from Prime Video's new adaptation. But this show far exceeded my expectations. It's not just good for a video game show, it's good television, period. Fallout blends brutal post-apocalyptic action with dark humor, sharp social commentary, and a surprisingly emotional story that had me thinking long after the season ended.

What stood out to me the most was how the show critiques modern capitalism, more specifically how power is concentrated in the hands of a few, while the majority are left to fend for themselves. The pre-war world in Fallout is portrayed as a hyper-capitalist society where corporations like Vault-Tec promise safety and security, only to use people as pawns for their own gain. This mirrors real-world systems where corporations often profit off of people's vulnerabilities and maintain control through marketing and manipulation. The contrast between the bright, optimistic propaganda and the harsh reality of the wasteland is a sharp commentary on how modern capitalism often promises prosperity but delivers inequality and devastation, leaving the most vulnerable to suffer the consequences. Fallout doesn't just show a post-apocalyptic world; it offers a glimpse into a world shaped by the unchecked greed and power structures that influence us even in today's world.

Walton Goggins as The Ghoul is unforgettable. His character, a cowboy turned immortal mutant bounty hunter, serves as a kind of living reminder of everything that's gone wrong. He's hilarious and terrifying in equal parts, and his character development throughout the season really got to me. You can tell he's been carrying centuries of trauma, but there's still something human buried deep within him, which makes him one of the most complex characters I've seen on TV in a long time.

Visually, the show nails it. The costumes, sets, and special effects make the wasteland feel alive, and the use of old-timey music in scenes of violence or chaos adds this eerie, ironic layer that is very effective. Songs like "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire" aren't just background, they're part of the storytelling.

In the end, Fallout is way more than a post-apocalyptic story. It's a critique of power, survival, and the way history repeats itself. Even if you've never touched the video game, it is definitely worth giving a watch.

It really is one of the best adaptations up to date, possibly ever, if not the best. Others should take a note, and use this as the example and the recipe. The way creators managed to capture the core, the essence and the overall feel of the source material, that is the franchise consisting of several video games, and transfer (translate) it into different type media that is, in this case, a tv show, is immaculate, a great job really.

Talking about the tv show, season 1 is pretty good tv too, that also establishes (strong) foundations for (what can be) an excellent series..

So far, pretty good and quite promising overall.

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.
