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..

Robust source material, large world, and long history.
Fallout show doesn't force explaining everything, and instead dives into, what occasionally can be confusing to those not familiarised with it all, while also prompts exploring.
Retro future analogue world that resembles '50s, '60s of 20th century, in combination with highly advanced nuclear tech, resulting in advanced vacuum, EM and other similar, and -connected to- appliances..
A new story and timeline, instead that of existing game, is another positive for the show and the franchise..
2nd season is filming or close to wrapping it, and if fully finished and released by late 2025 to early 2026, and with season 1 quality or improved, it's going to be epic..

Very dynamic show, always on the move, something is going on constantly. Things, and for that matter, lots things, are happening always, as well as the plot, sub-plots, sub-stories, story, and characters that constantly move..
Fallout is a great watch, a lot of fun and enjoyment, still not that simple, deceptively smart actually, with a flavour of satire and dark humour, so paying attention is recommendable..
Soundtrack consisting of mid-twentieth century tunes is Fallout standard, while "the score", meaning original themes made for the TV show are anything and everything from haunting to epic. Overall excellent sound, and for that matter, the show looks great too..
Filming for season 2 is finished, or just about to be..

First of all, just to be clear. When I played through Fallout 2 on PC in the late '90s, I fell in love with RPG games. I always dreamed that one day Fallout would be turned into a movie directed by Spielberg, because I loved his sci-fi films. It doesn't matter that it never happened - the series gave me exactly what I always wanted: a fantastically rich and beautifully ugly post-apocalyptic world. The creators of the show truly understood this world with care and depth, and the result is amazing. The best video game adaptation in the history of cinema. I'm really looking forward to season two. Christmas is going to be hot.
Ouality tv, genuine and true adaptation that expands the world. Very well done, and Well Done!
Everything is as should be. Characters we "meet" are exactly as those we encounter in games. Feels like Fallout, and looks, sounds and performs like high quality show. Amazing stuff.
Plot, story, side stories, etc, all spot on.
Athough as first season is setting for a longer series, overarching main story, doesn't rush to explain itself, and instead relies on steady build-up combined with some knowledge of the source material, can occasionally be a slight problem for some. Other than that, no major issues with Fallout TV Show.
