フォールアウト

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 games tried to bring (it lands better here), with the characters who have complex, interesting (and often secret) motivations.

The key themes include the power and greed of corporations (thanks Amazon!), the inevitability of conflict and the dangers of living in a ideological bubble. (The later point obviously lost on the other reviewer here.) That said this isn't aiming to be Oppenheimer.

Most of all this show is simply great fun, highly recommended if you are a fan of the game or never played it.

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 next season in the state) just as I've played the games over and over again (and will do so until Bethesda releases a new Fallout game).

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 long as you aren't in it for the wrong reasons. This fits into the franchise as much as any other entry as a standalone series, and has an attention to detail and epic scale, big budget, and high energy that not many works can seem to capture when they go to screen in today's industry. I, for one, am glad this exists. Totally delivered every bit of retro-futuristic dystopian survival drama I needed.

**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 that, the writers' and directors' weaknesses started showing up as the story feels really illogical and disjointed.

Bad acting, unnecessary and illogical fights. Need not to mention, I hate this new Hollywood trend (especially Marvel) where they play 1960s music and show fight scenes in slow motion. You can like it for once or twice, but this crap has been shoved down the throat in every movie these days. This series was nauseatingly full of such scenes.

The storyline is so weak, no one knows why people are doing something? The Garfield-eyed protagonist is very annoying and stupid. She is supposed to be looking for her father, but meanwhile, she seems bubbly and cheerful, literally asking someone to have sex with her, unnecessarily spying on a vault people… why???

As if this was not enough, the series gets worse from episode 4 onwards. But this time all the nuts and bolts of this stupid series start coming off, and no one knows what’s happening. They tried to show unnecessary gore, violence, and disgust to give “shock treatment” to their viewers and get some attention, but after some time, even that feels annoying and boring.

I give it 3/10.

P.S. My friend is not responding to my texts. He knows what he did. He is so done!

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.
