It’s the end of the world – just not as we know it. The Fallout TV show, an adaptation of the RPG video game series overseen by Bethesda, sees the post-apocalypse head to Prime Video with a joyous mix of uproarious comedy, physical humor, and gnarly violence. While it may be guilty of cramming too much into its initial eight-episode run, the first steps out from the Vault and into the streaming landscape for the hugely popular franchise gets a big Vault Boy-style thumbs up from us.
From the get-go, Fallout introduces us to a wasteland like no other, teeming with a unique blend of kitschy retro-futurism and barren, Mad Max-style sandy landscapes (beautifully depicted on the screen thanks to the wise choice to film on location in Namibia).
