Post Holiday Blues Streaming 25' - Fallout - Season One
My three week long Japan trip is over. Did I keep up/catch up on sometime. Yass sir.
Fallout was a full one season binge for me.
Ceated by Graham Wagner & Geneva Robertson-Dworet, streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Fallout is based on the role-playing video game franchise created by Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky.
Jonathan Nolan directs the first three episodes, with me being late to this Amazon party. As the series landed around a year ago, receiving generally positive reviews, with praise for the performances (particularly of Purnell, Moten, and Goggins), writing, visuals, production design, and faithfulness to the source material.
Thankfully, the series was renewed for a second season. No streaming date has been provided by Prime as yet.
Fallout was also nominated for 17 Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for Goggins.
Giving Westworld/end of times vibes, this was a perfect and easy eight episode binge whilst overseas.
Randomly I watched this series after attending the sad memorial for an actual atomic bomb. Now if you are late to the Fallout party, well watch out, there are spoilers about the finale below. However like me, you have had a year right! So are they really even spoilers?
Lucy and Norm, independently, learn the truth of the war, while the Ghoul also reminisces about that truth.
Pre-War, Cooper eavesdrops on Barb and her colleague, Bud Askins, to his horror learning they are explicitly managing Vault-Tec's plans to start a nuclear war to eliminate its competitors.
Cooper also meets young Betty Pearson and Hank MacLean.
Norm discovers Vault 31 contains the cryogenically stored junior executives of Vault-Tec, overseen by the cyborg brain-on-wheels of Bud, who traps Norm in Vault 31.
Lucy turns the head over to Moldaver, who reveals that Rose had fled Vault 33 with her children years earlier.
Hank tracked her down and was responsible for the nuclear bombing of Shady Sands, turning Rose into a feral ghoul.
Maximus is forgiven by the Brotherhood and joins the battle against Moldaver's forces. Lucy convinces Hank to give Moldaver the code activating her cold fusion reactor. Maximus frees Lucy's father but attacks him after learning Hank's role in Shady Sands' destruction.
Lucy disowns Hank for his actions after he attacks Maximus. The Ghoul, believing his family might still be alive, invites Lucy to travel with him and Dogmeat to find Vault-Tec's leaders.
Lucy kills Rose and takes the Ghoul up on his offer. Moldaver activates the fusion reactor, powering Los Angeles just before she dies from her wounds.
The Brotherhood forces assume that Maximus is responsible for Moldaver's death and acclaim him as Knight Maximus.
Hank flees to the remains of New Vegas.
Can I wait for season two? Hell no! Finally Amazon has some worthwhile content. Just in time for MAX to launch in Australia. Oh that's right, this also gives The Last of Us vibes. Season two will officially only stream on MAX. Poor Binge.
