To my surprise, Amazon Prime's Fallout adaptation became one of the most engaging video game-based series in recent memory. It took a couple of episodes to pull me in entirely, but I was all in once it clicked. Here's my thoughts.
Set in a radioactive wasteland with a retro-futuristic flair, Fallout balances high-stakes action, biting humor, and deeper themes of family, loyalty, and political manipulation. Ella Purnell delivers a standout performance, joined by Aaron Moten and performance-stealing Walton Goggins as The Ghoul. The finale twist, connecting her father(Kyle MacLachlan) to the unfolding chaos, sets up an even more explosive second season.
With Jonathan Nolan at the helm, the show carries shades of Westworld's ambition but feels more grounded and emotionally accessible. I'm all in if this is where Prime Video is headed for genre TV.
Overall, I give Fallout, Season 1 a 9/10.
You can catch Fallout on Amazon Prime Video.
