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.
It doesn't, it isn't, and it works so well because of that.
I've finished the season now, and I think it was a really great adaptation. Just the right amounts of fan service and hoakey camp, just like the games are to their predecessors.
Agreed. I'm only two episodes in so far and it's just been a fun adventure set in the Fallout universe which is exactly what I was hoping for from the series. I don't need or even want an amazingly deep and thought provoking plot from this series so it's been basically exactly what I wanted so far.
