Fallout

Big fan of the Fallout series so was very worried about this. Was blown away about how well they adapted, superb. Perfect translation of Fallout to TV. Loved all the actors, loved the plot, characters, writing, action, effects. Totally addictive, suspect non-Fallout fans will Love this also. Characterisation of all characters was complete, enjoyable, changeable. Such a breath of fresh air to see such good, intelligent, creative writing. Addictive viewing from start to end. Really hope they continue this and is an example of good TV for other programs. Highly recommend and look forward to more.

The test of a good TV series is how much you want to watch the next episode after the previous one has finished. Fallout absolutely passes this test, with me wanting to immediately move to the next episode every time.

The first couple of episodes are quite full of exposition and world building, but once the setting is done, the episodes are uniformly excellent.

The story had four main threads; Lucy (the naïve but plucky girl from a vault), Maximus (the idealistic Brotherhood of Steel grunt), Cooper (a ghoul) and Cooper (in flashback, a Hollywood star). The world has a different history to ours; 1950s tech is more advanced, but with the same aesthetics. And the bomb dropped then as well.

The writing builds both character and tension, slowly weaving mystery and reveals, with frequent dark humour and genuine heart. All the characters feel real, despite their bizarre and post-apocalyptic setting, and they all merit empathy.

Roll on season 2!

Watched it, and it is completely unrealistic. No crashes the whole way through! But it is a brill show. I watched it with family, and it contained many things. We can tell that the producers really tried to remain true to the games, and as a fan I really appreciate the viewpoint from the item, with realistic props and things like power armor, even the Yai Goui looked brill. Good medicine depictions, brilliant storyline but quite a bit of nudity and violence, but all good shows need a bit of that. I love the way it intertwines with new Vegas, and it is perfect in every way. Lovely show with brill actors.

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..

Fallout games are excellent, entire franchise for that matter, even 76 that isn't, while isn't that bad either, so regarding that, rather high expectations for the TV show too, and the show met, and in some instances even surpassed them. It is almost perfect. Can't wait for season 2 -fingers crossed for thumbs up- to continue all that was mostly built up towards in season 1, because plots, stories and arcs of the first season got wrapped up by the finale, but it's kinda obvious that those are just a part of the bigger plot and story, and also how some got wrapped up, points to distraction and even deception.., let's just say that not everything is what it would seem, or so it seems. With that, a lot of fun with the surface level stuff made for fun..

Good show, pretty good. Well done.
