Innovator

Having played New Vegas and Fallout 4, I'm a huge fan of the Fallout world, so the best thing I could say about this show is that it is Fallout in appearance, tone, and lore. The story is dark, quirky and humorous, taking many twists and turns appropriate to it's source material...basically everything you'd want in any video game adaptation. I loved this season from beginning to the end, and will watch again and continue to watch future seasons (which is guaranteed at this point due to its critical success and that they've just secured 25 million from the California government to make the next season in the state) just as I've played the games over and over again (and will do so until Bethesda releases a new Fallout game).

Woke this, woke that. **_Fallout_** might just be the greatest sci-fi horror video game adaptation ever made. From the sets to the scores to the scenery and style, there's a clear love for the source material here that shines through the grisly surface. Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, and Walton Goggins were a perfect trifecta of leads, and each hold their own weight accordingly, and the combination of their stories is flawless enough to complement an already excellent roster of visual and auditory delights. Top-tier action-apocalypse media that should satisfy fans and newcomers alike, so long as you aren't in it for the wrong reasons. This fits into the franchise as much as any other entry as a standalone series, and has an attention to detail and epic scale, big budget, and high energy that not many works can seem to capture when they go to screen in today's industry. I, for one, am glad this exists. Totally delivered every bit of retro-futuristic dystopian survival drama I needed.
