Featured reviews
Fallout has been managed with a good direction. The actor's performance are funny, best interpretation of the papers and well done. The whole history match with the original theme from the game of the company Bethesda. Each minute is being worked exactly, each dialogue, each movement, the used stuffs and objects included in the environment, taking care with the minimun details of scenes.
I've watched 8 chapters in one day, due that the first serie trapped my attention.
I hope to watch the next chapter.
What I like?: the mentioned above.
What I dislike?: I was waiting for the ogres, or some magical characters that appears in the game. However, the film reached more than my expectations.

I never played the Fallout games or knew anything about them so I had no idea what to expect but I have to say that I've really enjoyed it so far. This show hooked me from the first episode and held my attention to the last. I binged the entire season in two days and was still hoping for more episodes when I was done. It seems like some of the people who actually played the games didn't like it as much but as long as try not to compare it to the game and just enjoy it for what it is...and that's an entertaining fantasy/sci-fi series. The series should be judged on its own and not compared to the game. The world building and cast are the best things about the show and I can't wait for more. I promise you'll have a blast watching this and will want to binge it as fast as you can.
Season one is very very good. Successful introduction to the series, while wraps half contained story part of it. Good start is important, as well as the finish, and so far, good start is what we got. Very good start mixed with excellent actually. All set up can easily be excellent, and there is room for improvements, which if, or when introduced, will propel this show to spectacular level, and with all that, it is also important not to have too long time gaps between seasons, that if, or when avoided, will also keep the high interest, and make this show go galactic, and with proper finish, to be known a classic, and remembered as such..
Let's wait, watch and see.

The test of a good TV series is how much you want to watch the next episode after the previous one has finished. Fallout absolutely passes this test, with me wanting to immediately move to the next episode every time.
The first couple of episodes are quite full of exposition and world building, but once the setting is done, the episodes are uniformly excellent.
The story had four main threads; Lucy (the naïve but plucky girl from a vault), Maximus (the idealistic Brotherhood of Steel grunt), Cooper (a ghoul) and Cooper (in flashback, a Hollywood star). The world has a different history to ours; 1950s tech is more advanced, but with the same aesthetics. And the bomb dropped then as well.
The writing builds both character and tension, slowly weaving mystery and reveals, with frequent dark humour and genuine heart. All the characters feel real, despite their bizarre and post-apocalyptic setting, and they all merit empathy.
Roll on season 2!

The world building in the show is very precise.. and ig it would be more accurate and fabulous in the next episode.
You would find no moment that would bore you.
Ella purnell was fantastic in the role and so was walton goggins, the ghoul was like my favourite character in the show.
Depiction of the vaults and how a vault dweller encounters the world above, was very good.
Story sails very smooth, and i think even for the people who know nothing about the fallout franchise, it's very entertaining and gripping.
There's a lot of content that the show could use from the game so fingers crossed for the next season.
