A review of Fallout season 1 diving into the amazing world-building, characters, production value, tone and more. I'm very happy that this Fallout adaptation was done justice. In a future, post-apocalyptic Los Angeles brought about by nuclear decimation, citizens must live in underground bunkers to protect themselves from radiation, mutants and bandits.

    Cancel the Rings of Power, and give its budget to future Fallout seasons.

    10:15 I think it was the ammunition he was using, in the beginning I guess he was using like an explosive ammunition meant for soft targets, but what he reloaded looked like APDS(Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot) basically rounds meant taking out tanks which kinda explains how he penetrated the armor so easily.

    Lucy is probably the most genuinely likable characters I've seen in a very long time. Not to say that she's the best character ever written, just that she's so damn likabke, to the point that I was smiling pretty much whenever she was on screen
  • @ayaanc6
    as a fallout nerd this show was such a good watch
  • @delydn
    As for the writing error you pointed out, didn't Knight Titus' power armor have "tempered lining". I mean the show brought it up twice. First on the vertibird by Maximus and then Lucy after she saves Maximus. I think that's why the Ghoul couldn't penetrate the "flaw" on Knight Titus' armor, but he sure was aiming for it.
  • Felt like Todd Howard was held at gunpoint and told to actually help make something good for once since Starfield flopped
  • @scottwright7177
    You only played 4? Those of us who played the earlier games were getting double whammies in all of those final scenes.
  • @laserhawk0078
    That plot hole you mentioned regarding the ghouls bullets and the welding of the power armour is no plot hole. In the final episode we very clearly see him putting specialised ammunition into his hand cannon before firing on the big metal dudes, whilst in Philly he’s clearly not expecting said metal dude to show up and is using regular (explosive albeit) ammunition. Just a note.
  • @mal1362
    I honestly believe that the ghoul was having fun with maximus. Because the ghoul was a soldier and he could visibly see how bad maximus was. So he was probably like "let me toy with this boy for a bit."
  • As a car guy i was blown over when i saw the futura expo cars and the XNR being used or around the past sequences
  • @LucasDimoveo
    I wouldn’t necessarily say that Lucy and Max have a romance. It was one of the things I like about the show. Sex and companionship is fleeting in the wasteland because of how frequently people die. The interaction felt intentionally awkward and shallow, as it probably would be
  • About the chestplate thing, I think it's because Titus' armor has a special lining to it (it was mentioned earlier). It was retrofitted to fix that issue, and you can see The Ghoul trying to hit that spot but it's not working.
  • 10:20 I agree but to be fair he doesn't ever use his revolver and that type of ammo (maybe) in the first fight. He's using the rifle and it just looks a lot weaker overall.

    I remember thinking a long time ago that I hope they don’t make a fallout show because I just don’t see how it would work. But after watching the season of fallout, I can’t wait for the next season and I realize that it’s actually perfect for a TV show there is so much lore behind fallout. that I could see this going on for a long time and becoming one of the best shows out there. I thought it was excellent and could’ve definitely failed in the wrong hands.
  • @SL4PSH0CK
    for an adaptation like sonic, arcane, castelvania, edgerunner..etc. i appreciate Fallout seeing the overwhelming odds of adaptating the game, for being not a storydriven game w/ established main characters that were cinematicaly presented by cutscenes and the game itself has a massive worldbuilding.
  • people keep saying it was a flaw, they specifically show he use a drill head ammo instead of the repeater that IS NOT EQUIPED WITH SPECIAL AMMO! He only use special ammo for the revolver. Remember the slow mo scene where you can read the "BOOM" cap in the ammo casing as it flies?
  • @forrestredd2706
    Its almost like everything we were all saying about "sticking to the source material", really DOES help make something better. Crazy...
