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.

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.

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 a large complex anthology video game series where every game is self contained story, different time period and in most cases location too, and like that forming the franchise of one larger world, history and lore, with the tone that although more or less varies, carries on and persists, specific and recognizable.

In another words, it's not easy to properly introduce Fallout to different media, what in this case was a successful introduction.

With this very good start, Fallout now has the potential to expand, and grow better and better.

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.
