Fallout

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.

I'm a huge fan out the Fallout IP (up until they released the absolute mess known as Fallout 76). They rank up there as some of my favourite video games of all time.

When I heard Amazon were going to adapt a TV series I was horrified. I expected a hot diverse mess (I still get shivers down my spine thinking about what Netflix did to Resident Evil). So much so that I waited months after release to watch it, only because a few friends of mine assured me it wasn't a diverse mess. Thankfully, they were right. It was brilliant! True to it's source material and extremely clever storyline.

Acting was brilliant. I particularly enjoyed 'the journey' that Ella Purnell's character went through. This is a series of mystery and discovery. It posed enough question to keep me interested and solved them all in a fantastic final episode.

I did find it a bit slow to get going, after 3 episodes I was on the fence. But it is worth sticking with. You will be rewarded at the end. I really hope it gets another series.

Didn't know what to expect from fallout tv adaptation, and after finally watched it, can with satisfaction say that it's very good. Lots of good stuff in the show, and quite some excellent. It is nice that we got a military grunt wanna be hero, instead of actual "all capable" cliche. Also excellent is that Lucy turned out all that nowdays is hard to even expect, let alone actually get on TV.

Good characters, and the Ghoul is excellent. Good plot for the season, very game alike. And very good story that we only scratched the surface of in S1. Really looking forward to S2.

Fallout is one of those shows that just shouldn't be as good as it is and yet it completely pulls you in from the very first episode. It takes the chaos of a post-apocalyptic world and mixes it with sometimes gross but perfectly timed humor, each character works even if you dislike them, and it ended up making me teary eyed a few times. What you end up with is a series that's not just entertaining, but addictive.

What makes Fallout so enjoyable is how confidently it leans into its own weirdness. The world is grim, gross and violent, yes, but it's also filled with absurd touches that make you laugh at moments when you least expect it. The contrast between the cheerful retro-futuristic aesthetic and the brutal reality of survival gives the show a unique personality that's unlike anything else on TV right now.

The characters are another huge reason this show works so well. Since there isn't truly a good side or bad side, it's people under different circumstances and conditions based about mostly bad over seers, but each individual is not fully aware or fully committed to their chosen "side"

On top of all that, the pacing keeps you hooked. The show balances the humor, chaos, violence and heart so well that you are never checking to see if the episode will hurry up and be done soon, you just want the next one!

The twists keep coming and coming and after watching the first season I am not totally clear of what is happening in each story arch and it doesn't seem like you're suppose to. Instead of feeling like "wait wtf is happening" you feel like "omg I cannot wait to see what's happening!"

At its core, Fallout is pure entertainment. It doesn't take itself too seriously, but it also doesn't shortchange you on depth. As somebody who never played the games I can't speak as to it's accuracy, however the think most people would agree that accurate to the came or not it's a thrilling, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt ride through the wasteland one that leaves you wanting more.

I am so pleased that they have been approved for a second and third season and will be waiting on the edge of my seat for December 17th to binge season 2.

Real world satire combined with most enjoyable video game elements, and the final result is the show that deals with complex, serious matters, where there's no true good guys nor bad guys, because regardless of all, eveyone is convinced that necessity dictates their actions and deeds.

All that being covered under game style quest and roles, can prompt one to dig a bit deeper, and if do, then to figure how things are.

Sort of unique show.
