Review of Fallout

Fallout (2024– )
5/10
A for aesthetics, D for plot and interesting characters
30 April 2024
SO many reviews saying Amazon "Hit it out of the park" (actually, a suspicious amount with that same headline), but what exactly did they watch? Because it wasn't Fallout. About the only thing they got right was the look and feel of the environment from the games -- the vaults look like they came straight from the game, so I give them kudos for that. Otherwise, the plot was so bland and uninteresting that each successive episode held my interest less and less until, by about the 6th episode, I felt that I was watching it because I was "pot-committed". By the finale, I had it on more as background noise. The characters are terrible, sans Walton Goggins (who is great in everything), although even his character wasn't that captivating. The main character, Lucy, is just too "Gee, aw shucks!" to care about, and Maximus' storyline was numbingly ZZZ-inducing. Will there be a season 2 (probably based on the end of the last episode) but this one is better left in the Fallout shelter.
