Fallout

Amongst the best game adaptations ever and good TV. Not easy to balance between the two. Off balance can go too game or too TV. In this case, in balance. Almost perfect balance really..

Premise appears simple but it is more than that. More one looks, more it looks like what is presumed might not be. Some things are left ambiguous, other do not add up, while for example, what is presumed to be a MacGuffin, isn't because got actual value added to it, having impact and effect, as well as what it is, what it does, and its origin revealed..

Great season that ends with promising finale, and as continues from there, season two might just be even better..

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.

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.

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.

Actually very very good show. Nine-plus for me, at least. Actually does everything, or overwhelming-most right..

Walton Goggins mostly seems to appear and work with good stuff, and so here he is with Fallout, and the way he plays two characters one person, is just so good and fun, and serious and sad, all at the same time. Goggins is great, and The Ghoul is too.

Lucy, surprisingly isn't bossy, nor immediately successful in everything. Instead, she is likeable character, does the best she can with combination of her knowledge, skill, training, mindset, worldview, and how it all works in practice, faced with reality, while learning in the process.

Maximus is that guy that "does the right thing", or at least he believes so, while having that dose of "selfishness", which is just the trait of a Surfacedweller. He also idolizes the Brotherhood, gets disappointed on his first field mission, facing reality.

Interesting how Maximus and Lucy are going through similar arcs, also joined by previously Cooper Howard now the Ghoul, seen through character's flashbacks, which also serve telling some story, and connecting parts told..

Good stuff !
