Series Review: Fallout
Back in the mid aughts, every gamer I knew played Fallout. It had a cool story and an amazing soundtrack. I didn't mind watching people play it. Now, Amazon Prime has made a series based on that game. Already renewed for a second season, the first 8 episodes are now available to stream. The series takes place in a post-nuclear war U.S and we follow 3 different leads. There's Lucy (Ella Purnell) who has lived her life underground in a bunker. Maximus (Aaron Moten) part of "The Brotherhood" who lives on the surface. And The Ghoul (Walton Goggins) Also on the surface, whose story is best seen to understand. Even if you didn't play the game, the plot is easy to follow and everything is explained very well. There's also plenty of Easter Eggs for those that did play. Goggins obviously is a veteran actor who is great at playing bad. Purnell I was only familiar with from another great series - Yellowjackets, and she makes for a great lead. Lucy is so naive and sweet.
