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.

Fallout’s heart is in the right place, but more work needs to be done for it to become the inclusive show it thinks it is.

Rated: B

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]

Rated: 3/5

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

Henry A To consider every movie adaptation I've seen, at first, it was neck in neck with this and The Last of Us, however recently, I've leaned towards The Last of Us, despite this opinion, I think both are very well done and are a must see. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Rob C One of the best video game adaptations. It is a game and a TV show at the same time, quite successfully. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Audience Member If you lack intelligence and are a fan of the Fallout and Bethesda franchise, this is for you. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Luis J They did such a job investing me into this post apocalyptic world where its the survival of the fittest and everyone for themselves; was so good in fact it convinced me to play fallout 4 again💀 Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/27/24 Full Review Audience Member Original. Fun and exciting! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/26/24 Full Review Sanjay K The best adaptation of a video game ever, even better than “The Last of Us”. Which is surprising since Fallout isn’t known for its narrative in comparison to “TLOU”. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
