Fallout

Actually only thing that it doesn't have are your good guys and the bad guys. Motivations, goals, intentions, events, are left rather ambiguous or open to interpretation, thus people can see what people want to see, and one can only combine that with previous knowledge of Fallout, then to realize how overarching story has much more depth than it would appear..

Other than that, on the surface, where the show is much fun and also distracting, has pip boys, stimpacks, junk jets, unreliable narrators, several factions are introduced or slightly introduced, some hinted yet to be.., shortly said, has everything..

With all that, and with just a little bit effort and luck, season 2 will be another banger..

Fallout is the recipe for how to adapt a video game. A tv show that feels like a video game at the same time. Made for gamers and non gamers. And that is how it should be.

Performances are on point to. Walton Goggins is great. World building is massive and storytelling, while highly accurate to smallest details, and similar to the story for this season that, while wraps its self by the finale, it is establishing overall, serving the purpose for introduction..

Show is very engaging, entertaining and fun, amusing even, also attractive and memorable, while much more intelligent than lets on right away..

Exposition-minimum, doesn't spoon feed, mostly show don't tell, pieces of story from flashbacks, interactions between characters, and visually presented, create a set of clues pointing to things being not exactly what may seem to be, including what some characters want us to believe, due to bias, agenda, goals, or simply lacking information..

Characters try impossible or unlikely that by progression of the plot turns exactly that, and in some cases in character, in other for character development.

Events that happen earlier seemingly with no explanations, or seem implausible, have explanations pre-added, as shown later..

The show requires perceptiveness, similar to how Fallout games do, but still works as easy-going, entertaining and well made, while one can, instead getting distracted by what is made to both tell and distract from told, ask a number of questions, for which answers are the guidelines..

First season is very good, with some good, some excellent. Likely we will see another good and improved season, and for that case, regarding mentioned, expect "plot twists", especially seen as such by those who didn't pick up on often storytelling clues and hints..

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.

Literally felt like I was on the Truman show watching my own campaign. Whenever I had a criticism of them not implementing a facet of the game I was pleasantly surprised later on. Only thing I'm confused on are the water monsters? Are they murlurks? Don't remember them in the game but maybe I just don't remember. I seriously cannot wait for season 2 and then for this franchise to become 10 times what star wars became. There is seriously not as many imperfections as there are fingers on my hand. If they continue this series of bringing the greatest games to life they might just save the theaters🤣
