(a very awesome TV show)"},"content":{"rendered":"

Fallout\u2019s <\/em>transition to TV starts with a bang (or three depending on how you\u2019re counting). But even after the show emerges from the vault, the hits keep coming. That\u2019s because unlike a lot of other video game adaptations that receive a thin veneer designed to appeal to fans of the source material, the essence of Fallout<\/em> runs so deep throughout this series<\/a> it could weather an atomic blast. Its characters are magnetic and its visuals are downright impressive. But most importantly, just like HBO\u2019s The Last of Us, Fallout <\/em>is more than just a video game adaptation. It\u2019s a really good show in its own right \u2013 an apocalyptically good one at that.<\/p>\n

The first thing that stands out about the show is just how good it looks. Every set and costume is packed with detail. The clean blues and yellow of vaultsuits are the perfect counterpoint to the dilapidated buildings and shaggy clothes of surface dwellers, which look so grimy you can almost feel the rads coming out of your screen. Meanwhile, Fallout\u2019s<\/em> Power Armor might be some of the best-looking live-action mech-suits this side of Pacific Rim<\/em>. Locations are also incredibly diverse and fleshed out while still paying homage to the franchise that inspired them. The settlement of Filly looks almost exactly how I imagine Megaton might appear in real life, you know, aside from having a massive bomb in the middle of town. The show\u2019s audio is also a treat, right down to the crunchy sounds of analog electronics and all the rockin\u2019 oldies that wafting in the background (including an obligatory playing of the Inkspots\u2019s \u201cI don\u2019t want to set the world on fire\u201d<\/a>).<\/p>\n

I really liked how all the show\u2019s easter eggs and references to the video game never felt forced. Iconic gadgets like the Pipboy help build the world while simultaneously pushing the plot forward. Even its cinematography makes callbacks to the game with slow-mo that evokes the V.A.T.S. mechanic<\/a> during firefights. And all the little critters Fallout <\/em>fans love and hate like rad roaches, irradiated bears and a very good canine companion make appearances that feel right at home.<\/p>\n

Of course, all this would simply be window dressing without characters that bring the world to life. And once again the show doesn\u2019t disappoint. As a vault dweller, Lucy MacLean (played Ella Purnelle) is the perfect foil to ease us into the world of Fallout<\/em>. As she explores and adapts to the surface, we get to meet an incredible cast of characters who highlight the struggles and revel in the weirdness of a post-doomsday world. I also need to call out the casting of Walton Goggins as the Ghoul, which feels like an especially enlightened choice. This man was made for this role, and even considering some of his previous appearances in Justified<\/em> and The Hateful Eight<\/em>, this might be his most engaging performance yet.<\/p>\n

The most impressive thing about the Fallout<\/em> show is how it balances several different stories with grace and intrigue. So often when you have branching plotlines, one arc drags while the others shine. But in Fallout, <\/em>they are woven together so well that even if one scene goes long, the show on the whole never bores. Now I will admit that those new to the franchise may need to be a bit more patient, as Maximus\u2019 arc and the story surrounding the Brotherhood of Steel takes some time to get rolling.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the biggest issue with Fallout<\/em> is its brutality. This is not a series for the faint of heart. Warning: There is some animal cruelty and there\u2019s so much gore that a regular bullet wound seems tame in comparison. It\u2019s also important to mention that the jump from pixels to live action adds even more impact to this. But coming from a franchise that\u2019s reveled in crass and crudeness since the beginning, it would feel weird any other way.<\/p>\n

As a fan of the franchise, there\u2019s always a little trepidation when a game tests the waters of a new medium. But Fallout<\/em> has absolutely nailed it. And looking back, it probably shouldn\u2019t have been a surprise, because unlike Street Fighter<\/em> or Mortal Kombat<\/em> whose stories always felt like afterthoughts, it was the world and the characters of Fallout<\/em> that kept people coming back to the wasteland. While the game may have provided the blueprint to make the show a success, this adaptation can stand on its own.<\/p>\n

The Fallout<\/em> series is available to stream today starting at 9PM ET on Amazon Prime Video.<\/p>\n
