Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, a peaceful denizen from a cozy fallout shelter is forced to return to the surface-and is shocked to discove...
It's kinda like a popcorn movie so far (ep 5). Enjoyable, obvious, fun. Campy. So violent it's not.
I can't recall any time Fallout was overly serious or, "hit home." Maybe Cait's companion quests in FO4? The "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" mission in FO3? Even those examples are just well-told stories rather than emotional rollercoasters.
Obviously this is all just to get you to subscribe to Prime though, so don't do it unless you can get a free trial or if you were going to do so anyway!
Started watching and have only see one and a bit episodes so far. I fell asleep so will have to go back to episode one and catch up.
Bearing in mind I know pretty much zip about the Fallout universe other than when I've seen it mentioned online, it looks pretty good from here - there's definitely a lot going on and it'll take a couple of watches before all the little details are picked up.
Seems to me to be a fun programme that doesn't take itself too seriously. Hope it continues.
