Basierend auf einer der großartigsten Videospielserien aller Zeiten ist Fallout die Geschichte von Besitzenden und Besitzlosen in einer Welt, in der es fast nichts mehr zu haben gibt. 200 Jahre nach der Apokalypse sind die Bewohner luxuriöser Atomschutzbunker gezwungen, in die verstrahlte Höllenlandschaft zurückzukehren, die ihre Vorfahren hinterlassen haben – und sind schockiert, als sie feststellen, dass ein unglaublich komplexes, seltsames und äußerst gewalttätiges Universum auf sie wartet.

Seltsam, böse und bestrahlt, aka je mehr Ghul, desto mehr Spaß. Den lächerlichen Westworld habe ich für eine kollektive kognitive Dissonanz gehalten und von Fallout nicht besonders viel erwartet. Und siehe da – es tut nicht weh, es strahlt angenehm. Eine funny Mischung eines creepy Westerns, ein Futuretro-Slapstick und ein aufwendiges Science-Fiction-Werk. Die Serie hat den richtigen Ton getroffen, sie stützt sich auf die wichtigsten ästhetischen Säulen von Spielen und kreiert eine eigene Ursprungsgeschichte. Ja, die erste Hälfte ist deutlich besser und die letzten drei Episoden, die plötzlich anfangen, epische Bögen zu spannen, neigen dazu, etwas klischeehaft zu wirken. Aber nichts Fatales. Ghul und Norm sind großartige Figuren, Lucy hat Potenzial und Maximus schafft es nicht, nervig zu wirken. Ich bin sehr zufrieden und freue mich auf weitere Reisen durch das Ödland.

I've waited more than twenty years for a movie or TV series adaptation of “Fallout”. It pretty much sucks.

I'm not a gamer, but this is a post-apocalyptic gem with the works. I love in this genre and I devoured the whole thing in one breath. A nuclear apocalypse breaks out on earth and the survivors live in fallout bunkers called Vaults, because on the surface there is radiation, bandits, ghouls and mutants. The main character played by Ella Purnell with her big eyes is cute and very likeable, even though she is no action machine. The action is mostly handled by the excellent Walton Goggins, who plays the Ghoul and is the best character in the series, even though he is an anti-hero. He has great lines, he's uncompromising in action and all the scenes with him are among the best (even the flashbacks). I also enjoyed Maximus, even though it annoyed me that he runs half the series without that awesome Warhammer armor. The action is nicely brutal and stylish, although in the second half of the series there's a lot less of it than I would have liked and we only get two animal mutants, which is a shame, but it's all made up for by a great story packed with twists and turns, atmosphere, mystery and suspense. The Vault scenes reminded me a lot of Silo. The series has great pacing, it never slips into the kind of plodding drama that The Last of Us slid into. This is just lighter and crazier as well as just twisted enough, I enjoyed exploring that world and some dialogue about the destruction of the end of the world gave me a decent chill. There was also a more action-packed finale, so I'm satisfied. I was also a little disappointed that we didn't get to learn much from the Brotherhood faction, but they seemed very interesting. I want Season 2 now! It grabbed me by the balls properly. It's only April and already you could put together a top 10 series list, there hasn't been a series this strong in 10 years. 9/10.

Well, I guess I'm not going to be positive like most others here, who apparently don't need much to be satisfied. I was expecting a pumped up sci-fi ride from Fallout, with kick ass visuals, a wasteland with uncompromising laws and a bunch of gore, a great mix of the story of the people "up there" and from the Vaults, and the whole thing backed up by unrelenting action and story development, but literally none of that was even remotely there. The visuals are just okay, but we don't get anything downright substantial or any wow element from the world, there's gore in maybe two scenes and even overall the series rides a lot of laughs instead of trying to be a true post-apocalyptic badass experience; it's a parody of itself, it makes jokes at the least appropriate moments, it makes fun of everything and it forgets what genre it's in. The lore of the people is also lame, for the entire eight episodes we don't even get a proper explanation of what happened back then and why, nor what the evolution of the Vault people has been over the last 200 years. Well, in sum, nothing and for me quite possibly the biggest disappointment of recent times, as this series deserved an epic treatment and instead got just uninteresting mediocrity that doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. Bleh.

Could this be the surprise series of the year? I really didn't have high hopes for it. After all, it's still a video game adaptation. And we all know how those usually turn out. But the creative team, led by the younger Nolan and the original game creator Todd Howard, took great care of it. The result is a meticulously crafted post-apocalyptic drama that pleasantly surprises on almost every front. Just the visuals alone impress in many moments, making it clear that Amazon pumped a substantial budget into it. Accompanied by an absolutely brilliant musical score by Ramin Djawadi, it offers a full-package experience. The acting is also brilliant. Walton Goggins, in particular, shines in what I consider the best role of his career. His Ghoul truly elevated the series to new heights in terms of quality. I also like how everyone involved understood the tone of the games. So, there's no shortage of brutality, dark humor, and perfect action here! I can't wait for the second season to hit our screens. Please, hurry... The wait is going to be painful. For me, the first season deserves an 8.5/10.
