Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. Two-hundred 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.

Chicago Tribune

Fallout reveals itself to be a show with some potent things to say about where we’re headed if we allow corporate interests to dictate the future.

Rated: 3/4

Craig Mathieson

The Age (Australia)

Goofy when it’s bloody, glinting when it’s conspiratorial, and always looking for another way to surprise you, Fallout has a counterintuitive rhythm: there’s too much going on, but it feels right.

Rated: 3.5/5

Gene Park

Washington Post

The best part about the world of the Fallout games, and now this show, is that it’s among the most relatable science fiction wastelands.

No one should expect too much emotional or psychological depth in Lucy or her occasional allies, since the series focuses more on suspense, action, visual display and how to move forward in the face of endless adversities. [Full review in Spanish]

Loud and Clear Reviews

With Purnell and Goggins leading the charge, the narrative of Fallout Season 1 is quite the addition to this universe that forges its own identity

Rated: 4/5

...it became very clear from the first scene of Fallout, that this show was going to be heartfelt but utterly terrifying.

Joey M When I saw the trailers I initially thought this show was going to be a bust. After watching all of season 1 I was thoroughly impressed. The show stuck with a lot of the lore and everything from props to the CGI was fantastic when referencing back to the games. I really enjoyed the fact that they did not cover any specific games but instead created a new and independent arc. All in all, I am excited for season 2. I give the show a 9/10. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/01/24 Full Review Josh C Fallout is a delight. It’s a fantastic show that is everything a long form series should be. The story features a multiplicity of characters that each have their own story to tell, each well casted and acted, and their disparate stories all find their way to intersect at the end that reveals the true nature of each one. The subject matter is quite unserious but the storytelling is truly great. Walton Goggins also steals the whole show Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/01/24 Full Review Jordan S I think it's a show that starts a little slow to build up what's happening story-wise. But once it gets going the suspense of what is to come next in a post apocalyptic world keeps you watching. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review Bruce W I absolutely loved it! I don’t know the games, but I cannot wait for where this show will go. Ella Purnell and Walton Goggins are spectacular. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/30/24 Full Review B C Superb. Absolutely superb. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review I. H Wow, they nailed it!As a gamer I greatly appreciate how well the whole feel of the Fallout series has been captured in this show, chapeau.Casting is fantastic, Purnell is great.Some gripes with how the lore was changed, but I guess it makes / will make sense for the series.
