The wait has almost been agonising, especially for superfans of the series holding out hope for it to be worth their time, but there’s good news on both fronts – Prime Video’s series adaptation of the iconic Fallout franchise is excellent and it’s out now.
The show has debuted to a huge 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, and positive reviews just about everywhere you look (including right here), and all eight episodes are available right now so you can binge the full thing right away.
WHERE CAN I WATCH FALLOUT?
Fallout is available to stream exclusively on Prime Video. You’ll need an Amazon Prime subscription to watch, but with all episodes dropping at once it’s a great time to sign up to a free trial here if you’re not already a member.
IS THERE A FALLOUT REVIEW?
You bet! Our Resident Fallout fan, Brodie, has watched the entire series ahead of its premiere and says it’s “assured to set a fire in the hearts of long-time fans.” You can read his review in full here.
WHAT’S THE STORY?
The show will follow Lucy, a vault dweller in Los Angeles who leaves to the surface for the first time on a rescue mission and finds herself caught up in the dangers of the wasteland along with a growing crew of eccentric post-apocalyptic personalities.
Prime Video’s official description reads, “Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have.
“200 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.”
WILL THERE BE A FALLOUT SEASON 2?
While we don’t want to go into any story reasons for why there may or may not be a second season of Fallout, it already seems all-but-confirmed, with Variety reporting that the state of California is looking to put up $25 million in tax incentives to move production there for the next run.
