Fallout
Fallout
Years after a nuclear apocalypse devastates America, a violent raid by bandits on an underground fallout shelter forces one of its residents to set out into a barren wasteland filled with radiation, mutated monsters, and a lawless society of those who remained on the surface.

*This isn't an adaptation of the "Fallout" games, it's an extension. This is set after "Fallout 4" and is meant to lead us into "Fallout 5."
While I do agree with most about the quality of this show, the only downside is the Brotherhood of Steel. Basically, everything about them is either unfaithful to the games or every character attached to them just sucks. When I say "sucks," I mean that nearly every BoS-affiliated character is written to be an annoying, arrogant 12-year old that distracts from the best parts of this series: Ella Purnell & Walton Goggins. Every time Maximus came on screen, I knew he'd do/say something completely braindead stupid that didn't even match the tone of "Fallout 76," at the very least. If you have played FO1-4, you'd know that the BoS aren't like what they portray here, but at the same time, maybe that is just what this branch is like.
I hope that Season 2 is better because this season had some very strong bones. There needs to be more mutants. There's no way it could be as bad as "The Last of Us - Season 2" though, eesh. Oh and watch "Nuka Break," that's a solid fan-film series that extends from "New Vegas."
