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.

I tried to focus on the big picture and things that would help orient TV only viewers without hitting you over the head with random details from the games. There is a lot of potential for a multi-season story. Ella Purnell and Walton Goggins both did a stellar job and seeing Kyle MacLachlan in the final sequence was such a treat. Let me know what you think.
-
The “Bud Bot” is even listed in the credit as “brain-on-a-roomba.”
-
Norm: "Is this where my dad is from?" Bud Bot: "You'll never find out!" Norm keeps walking... Bud Bot: "Oh... He's gonna find out"
-
The ghoul is my favorite character, the background, the lone cowboy style, the fact that he is directly attached to the lore of the show. He is a screen thief 😂
-
Groggins is phenomenal. He steals the scenes and the duality of his character is an awesome thing to watch. He should win some awards for his performance.
-
"Ass jerky don't make itself“ is by far my favorite line in the entire season.
-
Honestly at first it felt weird having fallouts extremely bizarre humor on screen, like the cousin stuff in the first episode. but with every episode it feels like they honed the feeling of this universe more and more.
-
The brain "let me stab you with this needle!" 🤣
-
Probably the biggest easter egg nobody talks about is when the tech comes out in Vault 33 and says the water processor chip is bad and they will be out of water in 2 months. This is the opening quest in the original Fallout game.
-
There is no bad Walton Goggins. Really enjoyable season one. It really hammered home: the problem with people is people.
-
Love how the Ghoul have the cannibal perk.
-
Can verify. I have NEVER played any of these games and knew nothing beyond it was post apocalyptical which i love. Series was great.
-
Sets - costumes - cinematography - music - make up - special effects. All very very good.
-
what was interesting about ep 1 is when they dug up Ghoul, saying that he is only brought up every few years to be tortured by Dom Pedro. I hope season 2 explores that more
-
Man I was soo skeptical of the show (maybe cause Starfield sucked), but ended up getting the feels and quite a few laughs from this show. Hope they keep the quality.
-
Lucy's dad with the scar and the armor is going to be such a badass villain
-
Clever lines, funny dark humor., mixed with real ethical decisions where no one is absolutely right and no one is absolutely wrong. Loved it.
-
Walton goggins is elite and I truly believe that his presence made the entire show
-
Bruh this has been a golden era for us gamers who want to share these worlds with our significant others. I can confirm this show is totally enjoyable for complete new comers. Plus even as a dispicable ghoul, Walton Goggins is just too charismatic to not keep your eyes glued no matter who you are or what he is doing on screen.
-
I agree with the show creators. This is just another story in the Fallout universe. They did it well enough for it to be considered canon. This medium is for everyone. Not just for gamers. 😊
