Featured reviews
The world building in the show is very precise.. and ig it would be more accurate and fabulous in the next episode.
You would find no moment that would bore you.
Ella purnell was fantastic in the role and so was walton goggins, the ghoul was like my favourite character in the show.
Depiction of the vaults and how a vault dweller encounters the world above, was very good.
Story sails very smooth, and i think even for the people who know nothing about the fallout franchise, it's very entertaining and gripping.
There's a lot of content that the show could use from the game so fingers crossed for the next season.

I watched several shows and movies this year, more or less good, or not that good, some fewer than few actually very good. Somehow in all that, I missed or more like skipped, postponed Fallout, because it is hard not to be aware of the show, and aware of it, I just didn't take upon myself to watch it...
Well, better late than never, as they say, because THIS SHOW, not that much of a drama, nor overtaken by dark, depressing tone, still elements of drama, mixed with, and sometimes built on irony and sarcasm, plot heavy with more extensive character development than expected, action, and lower than lowest amount of exposition in traditional form, pointing to well written, sketched and thought out, IS AWESOME.

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.

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.
