I had a really good time with this one! What about y’all? Edit: blew my mind learning Ella Pernell also voiced Jinx in Arcane. I hope to see a lot more from her in the future.

[@DarksideGmss0513]

Also Moises Arias who plays her brother Norm was Rico from Hannah Montana

[@kaebay3405]

Ella Purnell is great in Yellowjackets too, which is a show I get obsessive about when it airs.

[@nibblitman]

Well as many reviews I read told me, this show is bad because there is a main character that’s a woman and not enough proper strait white men being shown as good guys.

[@darthvegan]

I've only seen the first episode so far, but it got the hook in me. I definitely enjoyed it and look forward to watching the rest of the episodes of this first season.

[@trollishmc2920]

Yes - as a longtime Fallout player I loved it

[@ktge5050]

I like how one of the last frames we get in episode 8 is a deathclaw skull lying in the sand. It felt like the producers were saying they couldn’t get to it this season but deathclaws exist and they’re coming

[@susanzenonian5085]

We joked that the character must have taken the back way to where he was heading.. if you played the game, you know the shortcut.

[@jonevansauthor]

Felt to me like they were paying richly deserved homage to Predator 2.

[@GoldenKaos]

They apparently chose to put deathclaws to one side for season 1 so they could give proper time and attention to the setting and factions.

[@braydonbetts]

Every media doesn’t have to be a masterpiece! All we wanted it was to feel like fallout and for it to be enjoyable. And they did that!

[@lincolnnoronha4128]

as someone who never played the game, the series is awesome!

[@Crispifordthe3rd515]

As someone who played the games, this series is not that awesome. Imo.

[@AllHailTheKang]

As someone who loves every game, I love it a lot. imo

[@daymi7300]

as someone who knows about the games but never played them and is only about 3 episodes in and likes vanilla and chocolate not so much and has brown eyes I think the show is pretty good so far imo

[@sonofdevil666]

@@Crispifordthe3rd515 Played the games, the series is still solid too. Recommending it

[@stephennootens916]

I know about the game but never played it. We watched the first episode and it was pretty cool. My Aunt who watched it with me decided she could take one episode a day which is something since she is all about binge watching a show.

[@corynydam2361]

I think Cooper’s gunslinger persona is just that, a persona. As an actor before the bombs, he played a classic gunslinger all the time, and the one specific instance we see him act, he mentions he’s portraying darker and more grizzled characters over time. After 220 years of unrelenting horror, I think he’s retreated into the persona of someone who can survive in the wasteland, namely, a gunslinger.

[@indianaharris9286]

Very true. I think Coopers been playing a role for SO long that he’s lost himself in just surviving. If/when he finds his family in S2 + spending time with Lucy I think will steadily let the real man show from beneath. I suspect when he finally drops that gunslinger persona he’s going to just fall apart as a person.

[@kacheek9101]

"She nudges him one way and he drags her the other," I absolutely loved that development over the course of the show I'm forgiving of the amount of distance covered in the show because it was all supposed to be the LA area, not California at large

[@nibblitman]

Yeah it seems likely it is all within 20-40 miles, meaning we are talking a few days of walking or hours with something like the Vertabirds.

[@sirazazeloflowkey6424]

Fast Travel. Lol

[@Ormerjere]

I was supposed to watch one episode this week, I binged the entire show, I audibly yelled at two episodes, episode 3 and 8 endings made me so happy

[@keychainere]

Genuinely loved this. Colourful, kitch, campy, gory, funny, and still bitingly dark when it has to be without losing the tone.

[@jeremyallen5974]

So, basically everything that made the first two games so enjoyable

[@LoyaFrostwind]

Kyle McLaughlin was also Paul Atreides “Muad’dib” in David Lynch’s Dune movie from the ‘80s.

[@ghjong001]

He was also in Showgirls, which is really not relevant to a SFF channel, but it's still iconic because no matter what heights he reaches in the rest of his career, he still has Showgirls on his resume. Just like the chicken f*cker will always be the chicken f*cker.

[@RealBradMiller]

And agent Cooper in Twin Peaks, enjoying a damn fine cup of coffee!

[@jonevansauthor]

Yeah, really hard for me to think of him as an FBI mook.

[@ElijsDima]

This series was good. Okay sure the plot is silly but that again is exactly in line with the games. And the sound effects were 100% accurate to the games. As a video game homage, it's exceptionally faithful without retelling any of the games' plots.

[@jamestriplett5854]

it's really good and captured the Fallout vibe perfectly

[@dylanfinn1950]

One of the things i adored about the cinematography was how in ep. 2 during the shootout it felt like a subtle nod to VATS. It was unique and well done and a cool nod to the games without trying to turn the show into the game

[@restlessoblivion]

I'm really enjoying it so far! Walter Goggins is killing it as the ghoul

[@Squeekysquid]

Are you surprised he's killing a role though?

[@TheKyfe]

One of the more subtle, darkest moments in the show was Lucy stumbling upon the dinner table with the dead family. There's a toddler skeleton in the high-chair, and a bottle of poison on the table... That hit pretty hard, honestly. There were a couple of instances in the show where I exclaimed "WTF" out loud and some where I "nervous" chuckled while thinking, "holy shit, holy shit, holy shit." I feel the show should get a bit of a bump for all the subtleties included in every episode.

[@BaconDrive]

That moment felt like so many contextual storytelling moments in the games. When the player figures out what happens to the previous residents just by looking at the clues.

[@Seb_Falkor]

Me and my brother are some pretty huge fallout fans, and we both loved it. I am in love with how much game-y stuff made it into the show. I didn't think an adaptation could be this good in that sense, so I'm super happy with it.

[@scarletfatefan8793]

As someone who has played the games( even started playing the first one) I think this show best exemplifies the Bethesda fallout approach-an immerisive post apocalyptic world with memorable characters but simple stories. While older games and new Vegas though were MUCH more post post apocalypse, I feel this show is still a great introduction to the themes and vibe of fallout for those who haven’t played it, which in my opinion is what a game adaptation SHOULD be. lore is not important, the themes are, and I think the show does a decent job with that.

[@stedyedy23]

I wish they would do more post post apocalypse

[@wolfpecker5710]

Yeah as someone who’s been playing the games since almost the beginning, I really feel like they did an exceptional job at bringing that world to life!

[@judoshrew]

I feel like its such an inversion of the old themes though. Bethesda fallout is very conservative, it wants to go back to a civilized past and wants you to look upon old heroes, times gone by, rebuilding america. Classic black isle fallout is highly critical of the past, America's unholy marriage of military elite, politicians and economic aristocracy sacrificing humanity and the common people on a platter to the death by fev mutated viruses and nuclear holocaust, the satire is biting and presents vessels of the old world as ghosts that haunt the apocalyptic world from moving forward, especially with fallout 2 and new vegas DLCs like dead money, old world blues, and lonesome road. All methods of dealing with the Master can be seen as approaches toward how to deal with fascism, who tells you that in the face of hardship and a cruel world that we must submit to a master, embrace a master race of bigger stronger radiation resistant ubermensch, who all are connected by unity of race and share the same brain, who are beyond nationality or religion, all signifiers of fascism, and your responses are to fight them and destroy them, prove to them with extensive evidence and reason (easily the hardest way) that the future they promise you and every other human isn't real, they are sterile, or to knock them down through sabotage in the shadows. To me, bethesda has never understood the themes of old fallout, and supplanted them with their own.

[@sirazazeloflowkey6424]

​@@judoshrewTo be fair, by now 135 years have passed in the universe since part 1. That is like 1889 by comparison to 2024 for us. And an IP should be able to explore multiple themes. The lore however is intact. Especially considering the unreliable narrator approach where most info we get is from someone in the setting. And those people can be mislead, wrong, or lying. Only what is shown is unmistakably intended as true, so to say.

[@jamako732]

Agreed. Lucy was just the perfect character to tag along with and get introduced to the Fallout world, and even for veterans, she is still very relatable and just entertaining to watch.

[@skellumfh]

Many criticisms of the series "unrealism" don't seem to recognize that it is not intended to be a credible postapocalypse but a critique of the tensions between the Kennedy/Johnson era's tech optimism and it's omnipresent nuclear worries.

[@fernandodecarlosmalcher7977]

I only played fallout 4 but this show made me smile sooo much, also, as someone who always dreamed of video game adaptations being great, seeing so many great adaptations makes me so happy

[@evang3802]

Having only watched the first episode, the general premise seems inspired by Fallout 3 at least for Lucy's story. A scientifically minded widower father, who has a mysterious connection to the outside world that shouldn't be possible, is now missing and the protagonist sets out to find them to bring them home.

[@justinolson4908]

I was supremely relieved at how enjoyable this show was! I was terrified that it would fall flat like Halo, which even as a die hard fan I couldn’t stomach with all the liberties they took. Fallout, as you said, captured the silly, horrible, fascinating world that was created in the games very well, which makes everything else that may be questionable MUCH more palatable. Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)

[@scarredchild]

I've been watching this with a fan of the games and someone who hasn't touched a video game in twenty years (I'm in the former camp), and we've all loved this show - and that's the best compliment I can think of giving.

[@AnotherBrownAjah]

8ish 8.5/10 for me. Good first season. Lucy is an inspiration

[@ilregiallo4151]

"FUCK YES!" - Me, while watching the very last scene.

[@Znatnhos]

I'm always surprised by how gracefully you tackle spoiler-free reviews. Thanks!

[@danson1992]

Interesting, I loved it, thought it was quite exceptional Also, for me personally the humor wasn’t executed better than the games, just more frequently and less subtle.. the humor in the games is much more subtle, the esthetic in the games is more dreary and bleak, you are obviously meant to spend more time engaging in the world when playing the games so the vibes are able to encompass you slowly, deliberately, the story itself is fleshed out mainly in that way, it’s more telling the experiencer “we have a lot here for you to explore, feel free to take your time doing so and you will be rewarded” and the humor reflects that, in the show its more like “we only have so much time to properly present the spirit of the humor in this world so we are going to crank it up a few notches to get the main point of the vibe across”

[@jamesbox9874]

Amazon proving once again that they can nail sci fi, but screw up fantasy shows. I had faith in this tv show purely because it was sci fi based. The show has absolutely nailed the fallout feel. Every scene has an Easter egg, or nod to the game. Like the pipboys, or computer monitors, a stimpack bringing you back from the brink of death, or even just a random pot of glue left on an overseer's table for no reason other than for someone to loot it in 50 years. It jumps deep into the Fallout vibe pool and has a good ol' swim in it. Love the show. Well done to everyone involved!

[@abhimac27]

Gah I love Fallout! Been playing since the dawn of the new millennium. 😂

[@stephenaccaius1878]

I rarely complain about something on KZbin, but I really wish you had touched on how mesmerizing Walton Goggins was as The Ghoul

[@davincisama]

I had zero faith in it, but if Tim Cain (original Fallout creator) liked it then it can't be bad.

[@userJohnSmith]

My 13 year old son was so excited for this one because I'd let him play in my settlements sometimes. Glad he'll have something cool to watch in 5 years😂.

[@xR3DST4Rx]

You’re making him wait till 18 for this? Must be a fun household 🙄

[@userJohnSmith]

@@xR3DST4Rx He's been playing Halo since he was 9, Apex since it came out, has the run of the Xbox store, and it's currently playing Fortnite with his mom. We're pretty relaxed and very pro game, but this show plays like Deadpool. If he sneaks it at a friend's, so be it, but I'm not going to condone it, officially.

[@EricKing]

Lol you'd fit perfectly in vault 33

[@Zxykary]

@@userJohnSmith So you'll let him enact Deadpool-esque violence through a Game, but he can't /watch/ depictions of violence that he isn't initiating? I agree not all 13 year-olds are mature enough for a Show like this, but with what other media he's already allowed to consume making him wait until he's 18 is such a weird inconsistency.

[@userJohnSmith]

@@Zxykary Ah. No, he was stuck in my very walled off settlements where he could do farming stuff.

[@sandonperkins5626]

I'm in a similar 7-8 range for this show, just had such a great time and it's one of the quicker binges I've had in a while. Also I'm surprised that Jonathan Nolan doesn't have an official writing credit as it has a lot of the hallmarks I associate with his writing (as far as the twists and the delivery of those twists). I hope the creative team manage to expand on the show's quality as much as it deserves with future seasons though. Because plenty of my favourite shows started with a highly entertaining but not exceptional first season before developing into something more (Jonathan Nolan's first show, Person of Interest being one of these), and I think this really has the potential to become one of my favourites with the now established cast of characters and arcs that are already in place from this season.

[@Metaphorically7]

I hear people on some of the convenient encounters, but it didn’t bother me personally. They’re all traveling by foot from similar-ish starting points and pursuing the same thing. And the wasteland’s hubs of life are few and far between - from Filly to the Observatory, etc. Lucy had a tracker in the head that she was following since the start of episode 3. Coopers a bounty hunter and the dog helped track a lot. Some conveniences happened, mainly in the first half of the show - but I felt there was just enough justification that it didn’t bother me. Plus Id rather see interactions than characters just aimlessly wandering through a desert for sake of realism.

[@TimSedai]

Halfway through, huge fan of the franchise, and loving it so far.

[@lorenpeterson5255]

Shoutout to Benoit Blanc, that was a great opening good sir

[@johnbraund3371]

Intro was spot on, well done

[@wordsandyou]

Honestly, close to a nine. Not because it is the most profound thing in the world. But because they so elegantly executed on a specific vision. Truly this is such an easy tone to fuck up. But they nail it and explore a lot of interesting characters and ideas. Big fan

[@denisha8596]

Ah, Kyle MacLachlan. Agent Cooper... and Paul Atreides.

[@Jeneric81]

It’s like Westworld except Jonathan Nolan realized you can have fun too

[@wolfpecker5710]

They blew my expectations out of the water! As someone who’s been a big fan of the series for a long time. I really do feel like they did such a good freaking job!

[@XDivineSouljax]

People bring up the conveniences and characters ending up places but all of that is explained in the narrative. None of it is just contrivances that are never explained. All of them have ways to track the head and keep ending up in the same places because they are all going after the same objective that they can all track

[@vijaywestbroek7861]

I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected to.

[@FlyingFocs]

Judging form the reception of this and Arcane, and her involvement in both, Ella Purnell must be a good luck charm for video game adaptations. ...we need to get her in that Zelda movie (even if I still think it being live-action is a mistake).

[@jaceygaither2581]

Not an adaptation, but she's also in Yellowjackets, which is a phenomenal show.

[@KeytarArgonian]

Like the antithesis of Henry Cavill who is undeniably cursed lol.

[@carolbriscoe9337]

Thanks for this review. Had no idea about the story and so hadn't seen it.

[@BookOfWorms]

Played Fallout since 1, even though 2 was my first. Loving it so far. If I had to do a rematch on Frank Horrigan, I would want the Ghoul present. (No, not liberty, that’s just not fair, lol) He is definitely my fav character of the series, so far

[@mindylepre1600]

I have really enjoyed the show. My husband and I have two episodes left. Having played Fallout 4, it really captures the tone of the games, which I always found creepy with its premise while also having a good sense of humor with its dialogue. And I have always loved Walton Goggins, and him as The Ghoul is just perfect. Anytime he is on screen, he just kills.

[@michaelgunn8752]

This is the channel that found my favorite book series (The Expanse) and so I watch all his reviews. Daniel is also the reason I watched The Last of Us, which I loved. His assessment of this show is fair! I love it... admittedly cause I just love anything to do with Fallout. It's fun, it's campy in all the ways I can appreciate, it's not perfect. Daniel Greene is not only worth a subscription due to his honest reviews, but also due to his integrity as a person. He doesn't like Amazon (individual opinion) but he gives a lot of positives to the show. Watch at your own risk, if you haven't played Fallout (I never played The Last of Us) this show MAY be worth a view. ❤❤❤ You're awesome Daniel!

[@Squiggly6942]

They aren't doing any storylines directly from the game, but structurally it is a Fallout game story to it's core.

[@barbararowley6077]

It’s been so good! I’m familiar with the games, so all the various homages are a delight, my cousin has never played any of them, and really enjoys it. That’s definitely the mark of success, that it pleases both existing fans and newbies.

[@MELR216]

My son loves this game!! Glad you also enjoyed

[@nealmayne2598]

I wanted to mention the feeling of California feeling to small personally I think was intentional and well done because it gives you the same shrunken fealing that you get in the games. The Capital wastelands and The Boston area that the games cover is huge but you can run across it in the then a in game day. This was just one more expample of them capturing the feel of the games.

[@taylorhauser3347]

Fallout is honestly one of my favorite shows of the year so far. Pleasantly surprised!

[@stephennootens916]

We are taken episode at a time and letting some space to really seat with the episode before moving to the next one.

[@rikremmerswaal2756]

Daniel, I would watch a series where you play an 50s newscaster

[@farmgirlrebel1333]

I liked the winks to both Star Wars and Indiana Jones, those made me smile. I'm not a gamer, never played one, but I did like this series.

[@Hecubusx]

Was a fun watch, much much better than I was expecting.

[@GhilliesuitupGaming]

So happy you’re covering this amazing show

[@evanwilliams3821]

If you liked Walton Goggins as the ghoul then I’d highly recommend watching the shield and justified. He’s a scene stealer in those shows

[@BenIsOnlyAsking]

The recent videos have been amazing but I need Dan's take on the KDOT situation lol

[@recklessglitch]

Coooooop!!! Didn't know that. Hey waitaminute, he is also Paul Atreides!

[@f0rth3l0v30fchr15t]

It was fun. Certainly felt very Fallout for me. IIRC the show takes place 10 years(ish?? after the events of Fallout 4. Which happens on the other side of the US anyway.

[@nealmayne2598]

Yeah it's in 2296 and fallout 4 was 2287

[@christhewritingjester3164]

I've played the games since fallout 1 and I think they did a great job at adapting it. I will definitely be coming back for season 2.

[@aleksandervadla9881]

[@tgnyc13]

Pretty sure you're trying to say doe eyed not doughy eyed? Great characters, great vibe, great acting and super fun. Walt Goggins is freaking amazing.

[@Fidilisfool]

One of the best sci fi shows I have ever seen. On par with early westworld for me.

[@christophstahl8169]

It is so much a Nolan show. It even has all the same strengths and weaknesses season one of Westworld had. Sadly that show fell apart after a well done first season. I loved that we got an proper series ending in season 1. They can continue on, but should they miss the mark from season 2 on, then we can always rewatch just season 1. (Like I do with Heroes)

[@zacharywoodford8530]

Im 3 episodes in and im enjoying it. Never could get into the games, just didn't find them fun, but always thought the premise was cool

[@KeytarArgonian]

The best trick this show pulls: The credits of each episode show you hints of what’s coming in the next episode. It’s subliminally telling you what’s coming.

[@iveybullard8988]

It was enjoyable for sure. Way better than i expected.

Here's a fun question; if you were in charge of creating a Vault for Vault-tech, what would it be,and what experiment would be run in it?

I’ve only seen episode one, I’m trying to watch one a week and not binge this one, (highly doubt I’ll be able to stick with that and not end up binging.) but I did love the first episode.

[@davetheblade]

I know this has nothing to do with Fallout, but have you seen Frieren: Beyond Journey's End? It's a fantasy anime based on a manga, and while the manga is great, the anime is special! A lot of people, (myself included), say it feels like watching LotR. If you get the chance watch the first four episodes and see what you think.

[@grabsgranite3188]

I’m a bit surprised something being wildly entertaining is considered.....slightly better than good. Me and the wife have watched the first episode and enjoyed it. We’ll watch one a week, and if we find it wildly entertaining, we’ll be very pleased. Neither of us have ever played the game.

[@buttercup_bravo]

My husband plays Fallout 4 often and has played the others. I played it for about 2 days before I dropped it, but I do know and enjoy the lore of the games. We've been enjoying the show very much and it gives him a chance to fill me in even more about something he's into.

[@grabsgranite3188]

[@filosk8]

Daniel yo should watch Sousou no Frieren, you will love it.

[@lathspell87]

I was so happy they gave us great characters. As a huge fan of the games, I wasn't one of those up in arms when we saw the main character was a woman. I tend to make my Fallout character a woman as well, so was perfectly fine with that. I just didn't want them to give us a "Mary Sue" superwoman, like so many other trash productions these days. I was so happy that, not only did they avoid that pitfall, but they gave us a character that was played so charmingly and had actual character growth throughout the show. Ella Purnell did a fantastic job in this roll and I hope Hollywood finally realizes how to go back to making good and intriguing female leads. As for the Ghoul: Walton Goggins should be in all the shows and movies. ALL the shows and movies.

[@RealBradMiller]

At one point I just looked at the Ghoul and thought, "Am... Am I attracted to a ghoul?"

[@TheJadedJames]

The thing about Lucy is that she’s a completely original character meant to fill the role a custom player character in a Fallout game. The writers clearly just did whatever they wanted with her. If Lucy were instead the Lara Croft/Samus Aran figure of the Fallout universe, I think there is a non-zero chance they would have messed her up, even if 2000s era Fallout games were characterizing her exactly like the modern day show is now. We’d be recovering from a decade long debate about was it okay for Lucy’s vault to get attacked because she wanted to get married, the whoever wrote the show might not be able to touch that plot

[@viperswhip]

I played all the games up to New Vegas and just love it.

[@twil004]

Heard Fringe mentioned and remembered no part 2 to your video and got sad.

[@calloban5171]

I might be wrong but I think (think) the show mostly takes place in and around what used to be LA, rather than the entire state of California, so I was a bit more forgiving of the travel time conveniences through the show

[@EricKing]

I liked the production value, the acting, the thematic elements, but I felt that the balance between exposition and plot was way too heavy on the exposition, balanced on a very thin plot. There is probably a really good 2.5 hour movie in there somewhere.

[@renaigh]

I think your the first person to describe this show as "safe"

[@tracyrose4178]

I really liked the Fallout show. While I thought some of the dialogue was awkward, probably purposefully, I loved that they brought the mysteries of the games into it. I love Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 4. I have not played the games before that, but I watched this with someone who played them all and knew the lore. My favorite piece at the start... they showed off that wonderful weapon. JUNK JET! Is that a spoiler?

[@johnv3788]

I can't think of a better video game adaption TV show, I really enjoyed it!

[@sirazazeloflowkey6424]

What some people forget is that in-universe 135 years passed since Fallout 1 to the begining of this show. For comparison that would be like Fallout 1 is 1889 and the show would be 2004.

The TV series is cannon as the creators confirmed it.

[@TheNotoriousNemo]

I think the show is good 8/10 They kind of half explain the lore of everything. The 31,32,33 experiment was amazing for me, it made alot of sense. I think you are right, the story was too simple and everything fit too conviently. I didnt like how sets were reused, and too small, but i understand why they did it. The main character was really likeable, i did like how alot of people tried to kill her, but realisticly everyone woud have tried to kill her and make her a sex slave. You can really tell alot about a show if it is rewatchable, and I think I would probably rewatch it, which is a good thing. Can I just mention I kind of wish molediver went into how she got in the vault using the moms pipboy, it would have filled in alot more of the story, a visual flashback would have been cool, or a videotape idk.

[@mangodango1733]

I went in with extremely low expectations and my roommates and I ended up staying up till a little past 4am watching the first 4 episodes I had an extremely good time

[@MightyPee]

Was expecting nothing, was absolutely impressed by it ! Felt it longer when it was getting into the Coop "back then" story, but was still enjoyable. I agree with you : they set the table for season 2 that will go off the rail, IMO. Can't wait. Solid 8/10.

[@ghjong001]

I loved the first seven episodes, but was underwhelmed by the big reveals in episode 8. It was great while they were chasing a generic McGuffin, but the second they explained the McGuffin, I couldn't stop thinking about how little sense it made. It didn't ruin what came before, but it did jolt me out of the world for the entire episode, and I spent most my brainpower trying (and failing) to make sense of the plot rather than how great the performances were. Which is a shame, because the performances really were outstanding from top to bottom.
