Fallout Season 2 Burning Questions

Fallout Season 2 Burning Questions. The biggest questions the Season 1 finale left us guessing about. Please Subscribe 👉 kzbin.info...
Fallout on Prime Video has been renewed for Season 2. We've got burning questions!
The whole first season of Fallout is out now and is one of the best video game adaptations we’ve seen on television. This video looks at the biggest questions it left us asking. The 8 episode first season follows the Vault Dweller Lucy (Ella Purnell) as she makes her way into the Wasteland. She encounters the Ghoul (Walton Goggins) who used to be a famous Hollywood actor named Cooper Howard, and a member of the Brotherhood of Steel Maximus (Aaron Moten) as she discovers how different the world outside the vault is.

Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind - and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them.
The series comes from Kilter Films and executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. Nolan directed the first three episodes. Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as executive producers, writers, and co-showrunners. The series stars Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets), Walton Goggins (The Hateful Eight), and Aaron Moten (Emancipation). Athena Wickham of Kilter Films also executive produces, along with Todd Howard for Bethesda Game Studios and James Altman for Bethesda Softworks. Amazon MGM Studios and Kilter Films produce in association with Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks. The series cast includes Moisés Arias (The King of Staten Island), Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks), Sarita Choudhury (Homeland), Michael Emerson (Person of Interest), Leslie Uggams (Deadpool), Frances Turner (The Boys), Dave Register (Heightened), Zach Cherry (Severance), Johnny Pemberton (Ant-Man), Rodrigo Luzzi (Dead Ringers), Annabel O'Hagan (Law & Order: SVU), and Xelia Mendes-Jones (The Wheel of Time). It will be available to stream exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

[@Nariek314]

Maybe I missed something when watching, but I'm still confused about Vault 32. Even though there was a video about "mouse utopia" on one of the TVs, I assume the occupants went crazy and killed eachother because they found out about Vault 31 and the "management"? What I don't understand is why didn't Hank or the other Bud's Buds didn't seem to know about it before the marriage exchange. If Hank, Betty, etc knew that the occupants of Vault 32 were already dead (due to no word from the Overseer's terminal), then they would have known the people on the other side of the door were someone else, i.e. wastelanders. Also, why didn't the radiation detectors go off when Moldaver's crew entered their vault?

[@Bzhydack]

Vault 31 does not have direct view of other two Vaults. We know that, because Bud doesnt know he is leting in Norm, not Betty. From what happpened I assume that there was first someone who dicovered role of Vault 31, then started revolution, and first think I would do would be cuting Overseer's comunication. Because Vaults comunicate only in extreme situations, no info from 32 will not be seen as something wierd.

[@Flitalidapouet]

ALL your question are explained in Mauler's review channel of the show. Title of the video is "Fallout a world on fire" on Mauler's channel. In short: Show care about stuff looking good, and ZERO CARE about making sense, or continuity, or history in the games.

[@Klikoderat]

It is important to note that the mouse utopia is pseudoscience at best. Every repeat experiment did not produce the results mentioned. Also calling those mice "the beautiful ones" hints at the worldview of the people doing the first experiment.

[@Flitalidapouet]

@@Klikoderat The experiment has been reproduced 52 times, giving similar results with minor change. Go spew your lies somewhere else. Even 2 worse critic of this test had to choice to admit, it was sound.

How did Moldaver (leader of the NCR) survive for over 200 years? She doesn’t work for vault-tec and she’s not a ghoul.

[@eddymonies8302]

Girl power prbly.

[@karolean8342]

We'll probably get an explanation at some point. In my mind, these kinds of things have been purposely left out of season 1 to generate more mystery and answers to look forward to and theorize about in the meantime.

[@mikejett2733]

Shes a vamp or a warewolf

[@WyrdHamster]

She DID work for Vault-Tec - she mentioned they bought out her all companies. As she was rather leading scientist. she de facto was Vault-Tec employee after aquisitons. She could have vault ticket then. ( But it's seems a bit strange, as she was so oppose to what V-T was doing. )

[@eddymonies8302]

I kinda thought maybe she got into Hanks Tank in 31, after all they pretended to come from a long dead 32 and from the state of that vault there is no way they were just surviving in there. May also have been why Buds brain was walled off in that little makeshift cage of random objects. I may be wrong but to me it’s all that could make sense.

[@Mr.Eeeeeeeee]

Awesome work. Love this show. Goggins has to be the most underrated actor of his generation. The dude steals every scene. He needs to win major awards for his performance. Didn’t think I’d like Lucy at the beginning but she really grew up a lot.

[@MBurgland]

I don't think he is underrated, as he is fairly well-known and respected. I know what you mean, though.

In that same interview he said the fall of shady sands is different from when the bomb was dropped on it..he explained extensively

[@greganthony4426]

I think Muldaver was in cryo in 31. Hank addresses her as Overseer Muldaver and would have know her because her company was bought out by Vault Tec.

[@niallmacrae6016]

I love the people who dont understand how timelines work, or what "fall" means in this context. Even when it's fully explained to them, how it works, and what it means, they're still like "eeeeh, doesn't line up if you ask me..." or "sounds like copium". Just an absolute refusal to admit they were wrong even in the face of absolute proof. It's fascinating really

[@The_Bailey_show]

Thanks for saving me from having to write this comment 🙏 well said dude

[@blacktrudeau2806]

more people need to read this lmao smooth brains i swear

[@TLGGorilla]

I literally don't understand how it was interpreted wrong. Every single date is right under the event its describing. The picture of the bomb has no date, but is listed AFTER the "wrong" date, with an arrow denoting it as a separate event. I would say people are just arguing in bad faith but it seems that most people didn't read the board like this. I just don't get it.

[@entropy616]

The board clearly indicates the fall was 2277 then the line continues til the BOOM.

[@ryno1509]

Yeah that’s what I thought

[@danlazaro1435]

(Fall of Shady sands)-------->(bomb) you see timelines are simple, the arrow in the timeline indicates an event in the future, so the arrow indicates the fall happened and then the bomb dropped later.

[@PetePeppers1]

Timelines are easy. Each date on the timeline is when something happened. The last one is a year with an unrelated date before something happened with an arrow indicating an undisclosed amount of time passed between the date and the event. The "Fall of Shady Sands" happened when Hank dropped the nuke. You could say when Shady Sands fell down to the second the bomb hit.

[@yikes6969]

Damn made yourself look dumb there

[@menandroplan1554]

People should relax...we are talking about a post apocalyptic world....its highly likley that people in that world got the dates wrong

[@wujekcientariposta]

or an overworked office temp xd

[@hellfish2309]

I think it’s pretty clear how Maldover survived; I also think it’s very provocative that she would awakened AFTER the NCR campaigned to control the power supply of the dam in “New Vegas”: the events of that game could be why she was defrosted, kinda making Vault-Tec’s targeting of Shady Sands inevitable

[@eduardoarmenta9232]

I believe she was the actual reason of the bombing. As soon as Vault-Tec realized she was alive, they saw her as a real treat and tried to kill her, Shady Sands was just collateral damage

[@Livvvid]

And house probably helped hank do it. House probably felt directly threatened by the NCRs audacity to come after his beloved city. I think both house and Hank also feel like THEY are the one who should he in charge not some above ground self-made government. Which goes into a theory I have. It's possible moldaver is evil, like hank warned Lucy, but she is still rivals with the Management group.

[@hellfish2309]

@@Livvvid maybe but unlikely: House was the most wary of Vault-Tec at that admittedly very brief glimpse of the meeting; the only reason he would assist Hank in using a nuke on Shady Sands would be to expend a Vault-Tec nuke somewhere other than New Vegas; my theory is that Maldover, while likely being wealthy enough to secure private cryo preservation, was secluded and cryoslept w/ House’s own cabal such that she would be able to furnish cold fusion for him From what I can tell, House was more directly threatened by the Legion and the Brotherhood and was more or less ambivalent towards the NCR

[@nicolasf7243]

The amount people have tunnel visioned into that one date makes me think there is just a portion of the fans who were never going to be content with this show no matter what they did. I feel sorry for them because for whatever reason they’re stopping themselves from enjoying something amazing. This was everything I ever wanted from a Fallout TV show like in my eyes this couldn’t have been better.

[@PetePeppers1]

I can't speak for anyone else and don't really have grievances that seem to drive a lot of people. I just watch shows as a job and try to follow the details that they're using to tell the story. It seemed like they were telling the story of the bombs dropping after Fallout New Vegas so I went to check the dates to make sure that worked for Maximus' age sometime in episode 4 or 5. It did match up so I was expecting that to be the reveal. That's why it was confusing when the board had a completely different year. It didn't ruin the show or my experience or ignite some long-term gripe I had against the company. It was just a detail that didn't make sense which is unfortunate when you're job is to give an overview of what happened.

[@nicolasf7243]

@@PetePeppers1 Sorry if my comment was unclear but I totally was not referring to you with it, I think you’re very fair and equitable with everything.

[@METALFREAK03]

I also think it was a general history. Aka 2077 saw the bomb destroy shady sands, but it doesn't say when in 2077 and neither does it make it unplausible no one would talk about it 40? odd years later in New Vegas. I never played NV though, as at that time, that was by a different studio than the first two studios by the people whom made mistakes in the F2. So I refused to play it. Probably a mis-namer on my part there, in hindsight.

[@thekungfoonun]

The shady sands date issue was in a vault though, wasn't it? And vault dwellers were told all kinds of nonsense so perhaps it was just misinformation... also the nuke sketch had a small arrow between 2277 (think that's the date) and the sketch.. think people are hanging onto it as a mistake too heavily

[@speedyllama8380]

My thoughts too. I also heard Oxhorn (who I love) say that he was upset that we know Vault-Tec's intentions... That we now know that Vault-tec wanted to perfect humanity or whatever. But we don't know that. All we know is she used that as a pitch in a meeting with potential investors. She would have said anything to get them to cough over money... Anything. So, we still don't know what Vault-Tec's true intentions are.

[@RealBradMiller]

We will get a better date, but we know the fall started before the destruction, and weren't at the same time.... Though idk why you would write that on a timeline. I'm trying to think of a real world example and I'm failing.

[@la_joya4468]

I swear I remember within the show that there were a hand full of references to Maldaver talking about how her and other scientists were working on a tool to keep people alive for ever to continue working on their experiments until Vualtec bought out the studies or the company they were working for. I’m pretty sure Maldaver was telling this to the ghouls character when she was persuading him to spy on his wife’s work. I am pretty sure Maldaver might have developed a tool to stay immortal, can’t die due to natural death, which explains her continued existence and slow aging.

[@The_Bailey_show]

4:29 The timeline is not wrong youre just miss understanding it... The Fall of Shady Sans means that its no longer as strong as it was but still exists & there is no specific date given for when the bombs fell

[@maro_boi7899]

yeah I interpreted it like "The fall of Rome" it just meant that Shady sands started declining in 2077 and after the events of new vegas got completely destroyed.

[@PetePeppers1]

I'm not misunderstanding it, you're reinterpreting it with the desired answer in mind. Look at the timeline, every other entry is for a specific date that something happened. The show told us that the Fall of Shady Sands happened in an instant when Hank dropped a nuke on them. Your interpretation requires us to say well the last date is just different than the others and is related to a thing the show never introduced.

[@ObamaCare902]

⁠@@PetePeppers1correct me if I’m wrong but in Todd Howard’s recent interview. He specifically says that the the “fall of shady sands” isn’t referring to when the nuke was dropped. It means as said above that the city is in a decline and things aren’t going very well for its occupants. Even in new Vegas when you talk to NCR citizens they mention that shady sands isn’t doing so well. There is no specific date yet for when the nuke dropped. All we know right now is that it happened right after the events of new Vegas. P.S love your content

[@The_Bailey_show]

@@PetePeppers1 So if you look at the Time line you can see the "Fall of Shady Sands" is not the end cap of the timeline... The line & arrow head mean that the next event in the timeline is the bomb 💣 in school they teach us that the Arrows on either end of a time line are pointing to the future & the past.

[@TLGGorilla]

@@PetePeppers1 The last date doesn't have to change for this interpretation to be correct because the last date is not for the last event on the board. You can argue the show did a bad job of conveying information but telling people they're reinterpreting something because you didn't understand the source material is arrogant. The sign declaring Shady Sands as the first capital even supports there being a gradual fall, it's not something that is only being explained outside of the source material.

[@TheRdanny1982]

The fall of shady sands is mentioned as a fall not the destruction of sandy sands

[@PetePeppers1]

Which wouldn't make sense with the story they're telling. It may make sense later when they explain that, but for now, there is no mention of anything leading to the fall. There is mention that Rose found a wonderful community on the surface she wanted to join and Hank ended it with a nuke.

[@EccentricGentelman]

My prediction for season 2 is that Cooper tracks his family down to Vault 0. I know it was ejected from the cannon but it fits in perfectly into this show as Vault 0 was where data from all the other vaults was sent in order to plan the perfect new society, which is now what Vault-tec was trying to do. Cooper's wife said she was trying to get them into a monitoring vault, which is exactly what Vault 0 is. Cooper's daughter could be in cryostasis in there along with the Vault-tec higher ups and maybe his wife is one of those brains hooked up to the Calculator.

[@jtfike]

Shady sands falls in 2077. It is nuked later. Not sure where the ambiguity is.

[@PrettyNightmare69]

There is no date when the bomb hit Shady Sands. It’s say the fall of Shady Sands, that doesn’t mean the bomb fell that year. Then it’s moves on ahead to the bomb, but there is no date.

[@hlb979]

in a show brimming with good acting, my personal favorites were probably Johnny Pemberton (as the most human human in the whole wasteland) and Jon Daly (as the snake oil doctor with ...peculiar tastes and an effective but weird ace under his stinky sleeve); maybe I side with who thinks comedians are usually astonishingly good actors.

[@PrettyTigerlilly]

Johnny Pemberton was incredible in this, stole every scene he was in. I really hope they bring him back next season.

Weekly drops to me are more fun. You get to think about the episode over the week, talk about it with friends, watch recap videos, etc. I also love having something to look forward to watching each week, we usually do a Friday thing, go out to dinner, watch the latest episode of whatever show has dropped. So I am with you, weekly drops are better than a binge drop.

[@jamesabernethy7896]

Been a big fan of your reviews since finding your channel. I have really enjoyed your recent review on Shogun but the highlight for me was For All Mankind. Viewing habits and tv production has changed. I grew up in the era of shows like Star Trek TNG, Quantum Leap and X-files. Those were lengthy shows with seasons lasting 20-24 episodes. When you factored in a brief mid-season hiatus... that was half the year. People were invested in the weekly stories but also the greater arc. The anticipation for having to wait a whole week was part of the enjoyment, but now shows are just a quick fix. It was great going to school or going to work and discussing each episode.

is easy to open vault 31 from the inside, just tell the brain on wheels that you are going to kill everyone if he doesnt open the vault, he already change the plans when he couldnt kill him and risk everything let him live highly likely that maximus becomes the next ncr leader, since their family was a part of and also he saw all the sacrifice their leader did for bringing this energy probably hank is going to an emergency headquarters but the ghoul wife wont be there, thats for season 3 at least

[@Colonel_Frosty]

Not sure how you missed the interview apparently or misinterpreted it and the chalkboard, its been explained. Fall doesn't mean destruction, fall means conflict. Bomb without a date means bombs fell but not sure when.

[@PetePeppers1]

Yeah, I saw that but even Todd Howard didn't jump on that as an official explanation. He nodded politely to move on after the interviewer kept repeating it. There is no conflict. Hank found out his wife wanted to live on the surface and that led to him dropping a nuke. That's the story the show told us. I thought the show was great and it doesn't take away from my overall enjoyment of that. If they want to make that the explanation that's fine but it doesn't seem like something they would do intentionally.

I have to disagree about Norm going into the cryotube. Norm is a deceptively intelligent character. I think he'll either start destroying/unplugging cryopods until Bud Brain agrees to let him leave, but I think Bud will ONLY let him leave the vault for the surface and not go back to 32, and we'll get to see Norm survive while looking for his sister & father. That or he uses his computer knowledge to override or destroy Bud and escape. Norm was such an unexpected stand-out character. I highly doubt they'll put him on ice for too long. Norm ended up being my second favorite character in the series.

Think about this: if the bombing of shady sands happened during F:NV, would the troopers there know? To my understanding, the NCR doesnt pocess long range communications devices -- only short range.

I've played all of Fallouts and it's my absolutely favourite game in the world! ❤❤❤ The plots of the games and situations in the games are more complicated than in the 1 season, so I hope they come up with the next season soon 😊 And the crue did a really good job ❤ So my message for the fans is- IT takes time to come up with a really good result, before you can release the 2nd season, when the 1st season was so successful 😊

[@fightronin3753]

Well made video!!!! Keep it up!!!!

[@blackartsviper77]

I don't like the theme or setting (post-apocalyptic 'humans are the real enemy" stuff) and played only New Vegas for a little (some 5 hours), but I very much enjoyed this series. All of the characters are fun and/or interesting to watch, which is kinda rare these days, and the comedy has a tone that feels right. Will keep watching and recommending

Not just a game, it's a series of games. There are multiple Fallout games. However it was owned by Interplay first before it was sold to Bethesda in 2007. The gameplay in the old games is very different. You don't have to play in order. You start each game with a different main character who you can customise. They take place in different areas over different timelines. Fallout 1 and 2 are the more old school style turn based RPG. Fallout 3 and New Vegas go first person though not as agile as other FPS games. They're RPGs mainly. These games may not look as appealing by today's standards since these came out on PS3 and Xbox 360 systems. Fallout 4 is also first person with the combat improved though things have been made more simple. It's easy to get into for newcomers. It's the last main Fallout game. Fallout 76 is similar to Fallout 4 in terms of graphics but it's an online game so you don't have to play this unless you want to play online. Fallout Shelter is on mobile but it's not the normal type of game. It's about managing a vault with vault dwellers. So you can download it if you want. Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel I have heard mixed things about. Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel was the first console Fallout game and last Interplay Fallout as the company Interplay failed and lost most of its staff. Fallout on consoles didn't become a success until Fallout 3 and that's when Fallout became mainstream.

I'm assuming we're going to see a repeat of the Elder Lyons situation that we encountered in F3 with this Elder going his own way since he now possesses cold fusion and has access to the airship. Since the NCR was rather a large faction, it's likely they still have outposts under their protection so maybe they return in New Vegas. The enclave will likely be the faction to oppose the Brotherhood since they also have Power Armor and similar technology. Moldaver could be a clone or maybe she was frozen by Mr. House since the group from the meeting did get vaults.

[@andrewgood7586]

Im going to assume the show is going to go with the ending of New Vegas that assumes you chose to side with Mr House. It think thats a safe assumption considering theyve already introduced him. I also assume, since season 2 will take place post New Vegas, that well get to see the continuation of the legions activities, and perhaps even whats left of the NCR.

Vault tec bought all that tech from other companies. There are privately owned pods elsewhere she must have had one in a prepper bunker.

[@andrewwalker4373]

Here me out. Spoilers below for the video games that are canon to the events of the TV show. Hank fled to New Vegas because he knows that the canon ending to Fallout: New Vegas is The House Always Wins, so Robert House is still alive, with Courier Six (who could easily be named "Sihks") as his right hand man. Once Hank arrives at the steps of the Lucky 38, he briefly encounters the Courier on his way back out into the Wasteland after delivering very precious cargo from the Commonwealth. A perfect, synth replica of the C.I.T.s most prestigious alumnus, Robert Edwin House. House agrees to help/shelter Hank, in exchange for transferring his consciousness into his new synth body. It's the natural progression for the character of House to want a synth body, and he has displayed long range communication capability (finding the Platinum Chip after losing it for 200 years and organizing it's arrival to New Vegas), so he could easily communicate with the Institute before their destruction (and quite possibly since the bombs fell, as the Institute's goals, while more heavy handed, align with House's) and have the Courier travel to the Commonwealth, retrieve a commissioned synth body, and return it to New Vegas, all in between the end of New Vegas, and the beginning of Fallout 4. The writers did an amazing job during Season 1, and have clearly done their homework. I think this might be where the show takes the story.

[@jonny-b4954]

WTF is the NCR, is my main question. I don't like how they conflicted the times though with Shady Sands. I mean, it's clear it was abandoned in 2277 and then nuked later, as the arrow shows, though 30k still died, but still. I just don't get why they didn't make it later. We already know Vault-Tech dropped the bombs. As in Fallout 3, the nuke in the center of the town, has a Vault-Tech logo on it. And we don't see a missile streak in the show with the first bomb.

[@nuneke0]

Who cleaned vault 32 in just 24 hours? Nobody from 33 could have done it without the rest of them finding out. And in vault 31 everyone's in hibernation... So who did it and how?

[@hellfish2309]

The Vaults are huge aside from inhabitant living space, and the show demonstrates that underground volume: plenty of room to store Robco robots to handle such things

[@nuneke0]

@@hellfish2309 That was my guess as well, however they haven't shown a single robot in any of the vaults so I assumed that maybe there weren't any. And if robots could have done it, why didn't they much earlier, why was everything just left to rot for at least several months? Vault 32 and what happend there makes no sense IMHO.

@@nuneke0 1) it builds mystery and suspense from the POV of Norman, who is the audience’s through-line to unravel some of what’s happening in the triple Vault and make the 31er’s that much more imposing; 2) the robots are likely not for regular use seeing as the 32 and 33 dwellers are supposed to cultivate managerial skills in a meritocracy and relying on robot labor disrupts that agenda; 3) more robots onscreen for such a minor plot point costs more CG they could smartly spend elsewhere, and doing so would only nerf the mystery as per ⬆️ point 1

I do agree that I liked the Series very much ( that is 7 or 8 out of 10), from games perspective series done a lot very well, design, style all the details were great. However, attention to the detail in story itself was poor, I would even go as far as saying the writing was sloppy, overly convenient, lucky etc. Also it seems at least in one place the story confuses Raiders with NCR, which isn't immediately apparent, but becomes clear in the last episode.

[@andrewclarke8630]

Weren't some scenes filmed in Namibia ([German] {sic} Southwest Africa)? A country known for its desolate & beautiful Skeleton Coast (and notably NOT Utah or New York) & endless, uninhabited dunes and desert, very evocative of a post-apocalyptic Southern CA

VT didn’t drop the first bomb. There’s no way their daughter would’ve been anywhere but a vault if Barb knew the bombs were about to drop. I think that scene was just supposed to show the nature of VT and run home how they were committed to ending the world.

[@DeannaGilbert616]

Besides, they didn’t need to drop the bombs. The whole point of the discussion at Vault Tec is what they’d do if peace was going to break out. If it was going to, THEN they’d drop the bomb. The war was raging at the very end, so it wasn’t actually necessary…unless…they wanted to control the timing, but all the lore and events seem to indicate they failed that.

[@bebepastiche9105]

Honestly I think weekly releases really make for stronger online fan communities too. In the case of Velma I don’t think people would’ve talked about it for as long if it all dropped at once. And that’s coming from a Velma apologist.

They may work the show into future games but for now I’m fine with treating this as it’s own thing. The games were always a personal experience (not 76) and head canon will never match up with what God Howard decrees. Did love the show and wasn’t hung up on the changes.

As long as it doesn't end like Game of Thrones. I think it doesn't have to be a long series, just 4 or 5 seasons of this story could be enough. Maybe some spinoff at some point, Prime Video did great with Gen V and this universe has way more possibilities... Or they could just change the characters every 3 seasons or so, keep it like some sort of anthology, like Fargo

His wife was a higher up at Vaul Tec. She could've been frozen at in a vault the way the junior execs at vault 31 were. We also don't see him and his daughter get irradiated in the opening scene. It's possible he got her back to her mom and therefore into a vault in time.

[@FlamingoKicker]

@@JoseDiaz-rd5qb They say at the birthday party that Cooper is paying alimony so I guess they had a falling out between the time he heard her speak up at the meeting about dropping the bombs and the actual time they dropped the bombs. Also more like he only wanted his daughter anyway. But would they put children into freeze chambers? Could they be trusted to become Vault-Tec executives or might they jeopardize the operation when they grew up? Oh wait. She was there at the birthday party. I hate to be a negative naysayer but there is no way he outrode those nuke blasts on a horse.

I thought the nudity wasn't required. Overall yes, the fallout show was about a 8.3/10 score from me. I do hope a season 2 is incoming. If the writers, director(s), producers play the cards right. This show may last for over 5 seasons. I really liked that the fallout names changing each episode. From bullet holes to glowing. That needs to stay. That was a great idea. Not a kids show for sure. The minimum would be about 16 years old or so.
