Fallout

Its starts with "THE END", which is probably advice I should have heeded and walked away then but well, silly me.... In short, cringe-worthy, woke, overdoses on schmaltz to the point of nausea....a lame story doesn't help, either, nor does the strange, contextually confusing, casting choices.... Special effects are reasonable, sets decent and the music is appropriate but beyond that....??? I managed to watch the first episode and that was more than enough.....

Genuinely great video game adaption that manages to walk the narrow path of capturing the feel of the games (the dark humor), while telling a brand new story that works as a television show and expanding that existing universe. Walton Goggins is perfectly cast as the worldly ghoul, he is really the star of the show. The other two protagonists are well cast as naives sent out in to the wild, untamed wasteland with the best of intentions balancing out the anti-hero ghoul. There's the over-the-top violence of the games, and the weirdness is here too. It captures the heart that the later ga…

Having played New Vegas and Fallout 4, I'm a huge fan of the Fallout world, so the best thing I could say about this show is that it is Fallout in appearance, tone, and lore. The story is dark, quirky and humorous, taking many twists and turns appropriate to it's source material...basically everything you'd want in any video game adaptation. I loved this season from beginning to the end, and will watch again and continue to watch future seasons (which is guaranteed at this point due to its critical success and that they've just secured 25 million from the California government to make the ne…

Woke this, woke that. **_Fallout_** might just be the greatest sci-fi horror video game adaptation ever made. From the sets to the scores to the scenery and style, there's a clear love for the source material here that shines through the grisly surface. Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, and Walton Goggins were a perfect trifecta of leads, and each hold their own weight accordingly, and the combination of their stories is flawless enough to complement an already excellent roster of visual and auditory delights. Top-tier action-apocalypse media that should satisfy fans and newcomers alike, so lon…

**Extremely Bad** I was recommended by a friend to watch this as a "must-watch," and boy, I fell for his prank. Eight episodes of lengthy, boring, disjointed torture, which leads nowhere. I have never played the game or read the lore; therefore, I am not an OG fan. My view is purely based on these eight episodes of mess. Where to begin? Well, the first episode was boring, but I stayed with the hope that something nice would happen. I wasn’t wrong, as episodes 2 and 3 were really good. They started introducing new characters and developed their personalities. Unfortunately, after th…

I absolutely loved this, I was expecting it to be good but not this good probably one of the best adaptations of a game to series I’ve ever seen. It has gore, comedy and other hints from the fallout franchise as well as a great soundtrack. I can’t wait for season 2 to arrive.

Fallout is definitely worth a view it’s amazing as well as clever. Some people complain about it being woke which isn’t the case, this isn’t Netflix. Can’t wait for season 2!

What a cool show! I really enjoyed this. From start to finish, the vibe and mix of humour and despair was a lot of fun. I remember playing the games years and years ago, and from what I can remember they nailed the world. It feels (almost) exactly how I remember it. The production value is superb and the writing and acting were all top notch. Amazon has been building quite the track record recently with some of these higher profile shows. All I can say is, I can't wait for season 2.

I absolutely loved it. To see Fallout in this way was breathtaking, with us seeing post war and pre war Los Angeles as well as a new vault, was already a massive expansion to the Fallout universe. Along with the new characters and the brilliant sound track with our favourite Fallout songs it’s really a dream come true for Fallout fans. I also feel this is a perfect way for people to be introduced to the Fallout universe which seems to be the case as a flood of new and returning fans have come back to the world of Fallout.

I think this is a good series. It’s a mix of humor, special effects, and a great story. I believe Walton Goggins gives an excellent performance in this series. I really enjoyed it.

Fallout is brilliant they really hit home with this one. Can’t wait for season 2!

I think this season ended quite well. They're progressing along with the game. Lucy is really lucky. As seen in the final scenes, it felt like there was another Russian facility there. There were flying robots and stuff. Season 3 is coming, and hopefully they won't leave a long gap. It's a series I liked, I loved the atmosphere, and the acting was great. It's among my favorites. The Alpha version is coming on that machine. Let's see what happens. Thanks for your hard work, it was a great season.

Only really the Cooper/ghoul character/actor and his story really felt interesting. He really carried the whole series IMO. Most characters and actors were mediocre at best. The main character and actress felt boring and often annoying to me, but the whole MacLean family actually did tbh, with the brother being the exception most of the time during his investigations. It would also make more sense to me if he were the main character. The best part about the series is also the environment, which really comes over as genuine post-apocalyptic. But they should've made the ghoul the protagonist ra…
