It is, if you’ll pardon the pun, an absolute blast. Goggins is wonderful as both the unsullied golden boy Cooper and the wretched Ghoul, Moten brings such nuance to what could easily be a one-note role and Purnell performs Lucy’s fall from innocence brilliantly.
For the most part, though, the Ghoul and his cohorts engage in giddily indulgent shootouts that one-up Isaac Newton: For every action, there’s an opposite reaction that’s not just equal, but bafflingly more violent.

You don’t need to have played the games, or lived through the Cold War, to appreciate Fallout as a television experience. When the final scene teased the location of what looks to be Season 2, the gamer in me cheered—I know exactly where they’re going. The television viewer in me rejoiced, as well. Another season? Okie dokey!
Fallout expands on the big ideas of the games, making it an adaptation worth watching both for fans and those unfamiliar. It’s an equal parts funny and nightmarish show that, like its protagonist, isn’t content to live inside a projection of the past.
Its final episodes feature several exciting twists and reveals that reshape our understanding of the story we've been watching for eight episodes — but there's little real resolution to any of the ongoing character arcs, and in some ways this all feels like lead-up to a more thorough and philosophically complex Season 2.
As Season 1 concludes, there’s less a sense of anticipation for what comes next than general relief that this somewhat messy introduction, and the contortions to incorporate its eclectic roster of players, is over.
Fallout amounts to its Vault Boy concept art—the Monopoly-aesthetic-looking smiley thumbs-up character the game is famous for— with blood splattered on top of the colorful image as if that ironic disparity is meant to be enough. It’s not. Fallout may look the part and nail the video game’s cheery optimism/dog-eat-dog inhumanity mein, but by its umpteenth attempt at making this funny—Glen Miller big band cliches overtop of a transmogrified giant fish trying to eat a young squire!—you want this one trick mutated pony to die a quick and painful death already.
I've been a fan since the very original fallout 1 and I've played everything in between. It's clear this seriesis a love letter to the games, even the originals. I'm also glad to say they didn't hold back in any regard, they took quite a risk with all the fitting gore and the macabre, which I love, but the story is strong enough on its own merit. I don't understand what others are saying about limited budget, which absolutely doesn't looks like it to me. It's all high production value and fantastic acting all-around.

SEASON 1
Decent visual effects, production budget, soundtrack and casting aren't quite enough to elevate the average twist filled plot. Many details from the game world, both large and small, are lovingly scattered throughout. I enjoyed most of what was made here but at its worst points it felt like a parody of the genre with its tongue in cheek style although I do get that's from the game it doesn't quite translate to the screen too well IMO. Definitely something to watch if youre a fan of the game series. Average but entertaining thrills.

SEASON 1
Fallout Season 1 has a great cast, characters that are interesting, a world with a never ending amount of intrigue, and yet stumbles in so many areas that by the end of the show it feels like a miracle it's even still functional.
The pacing in some scenes is so quick that you're left with no time to enjoy any of the characters or twists left on display, and other times episodes feel like padding as we jump between plotlines that don't forward the narrative in the slightest.
By the time you even understand what the conflict of the story is even about and why any of the factions of the story want the central McGuffin, the story is over.
On top of all this you have corny dialogue, asspulls, decisions that change lore, events that are never explained in slightest, etc.
Had the acting and character interactions not been as good as they are, this show would be dead on arrival

SEASON 1
Ottimi dettagli per gli appassionati a livello di ambientazioni, oggettistica e costumi. Ma questi sono dettagli che non bastano alla serie ad essere neanche sufficiente, con una trama stupida, noiosa e contraddittoria (oltre che fastidiosamente woke). Un prodotto furbetto al passo con la moda ed i cliché di questo periodo di pochezza artistica.
