Nobodys saying, Did you see what happened on Fallout yesterday?
I wouldnt go to bat for Fallout like this if I didnt actually love it.
Sure, the series meanders at times.
That doesnt mean you oughta play any of the games, however.
The Fallout serieslargely follows a trio of protagonists, whose individual stories often intersect throughout the season.
What we dont know is who dropped the bombs, and what got them to do it.
The vault storyline takes a while to get going as it simmers in the background of more interesting events.
That being said, many have pointed out continuity errors between the show and the games its based on.
More importantly, the series captures what it feels like to traverse Fallouts wasteland.
Theres a balance of drama and whacky hilarity found in the games that is carefully maintained here.
That winking nod to the games ends up being true.
Lucy is fascinating to watch in her own right.
More than anything, Id like to actually see a Deathclaw next season, or a Super Mutant.
Also: give us a weekly release next time!
