If you're a vault dweller like me, you will have played Fallout since it first came out as an RPG back in the 90s. A sprawling and somewhat overwhelming game with a rich world and fantastic characters.
It is the gem in Bethesda's catalogue.
With other games receiving the Hollywood treatment, it was only time before someone took this on. Enter Johnathon Nolan.
If you aren't a fan, I would suggest you search for a short introduction to the world of Fallout, but, it can be hard to follow with such a soup of themes and stories.
This is well worth a watch nonetheless. It has Nolan-esque tropes and plays with time and theme.
It can be a little hard to follow, and the action is taut and straight out of the playbook. Fallout has enough references and thematic callbacks, that it is hard not to like.
The characters are written well, the dialogue is good, the story is true to the lore of Fallout, and the set is particularly rewarding.
Walter Goggins is a fantastic actor and he carries a lot of the charm on his shoulders. As for the rest of the cast, they each perform their pieces with plum.
The music, CGI and sound design are all of a fine standard, and despite Amazon's many fails, this could very well be a hit. Just as long as they don't drag it out and go meme hunting like Rings of Power.
If there is any criticism, it would be that there could have been more of a callback to VATS and the gaming element. This does not detract however, as it is important to know that this is a serial and not a game.
Give it a go and make your own mind up. However, it is hard to not like this show for the characters collective journeys.
