Attachment 254137
I reactivated my Amazon Video account so the first thing I had to do was watch this. As a lover of gaming and the Fallout games I'm always nervous of any video games TV show or film a lot of the time they are muck but from the first trailer of this I just had a different look and feel where I knew it was going to be good plus with Bethesda so heavily involved I knew they would do it right.
Right off the bat the detail on this is mind blowing every single thing is spot on clothes products they advertise the shows they have own TV the sounds even the trash scattered all over the wasteland is the right trash down to the smallest piece. I was getting goosebumps and getting all giddy the whole way through the 8 episodes
. I love almost everything about the show the characters are brilliant and funny the gore is so over the top is glorious and the creatures all look amazing nothing looks fake at all. There is so much running through my mind but it's too much to put all here just believe me this thing is perfect aesthetically.PERFECT.
My only two issues with the show are the character of Maximus in any show or film I absolutely hate any character that just stands there staring at people when they talk everything felt like it had to be dragged out of him it's different it's your the strong silent type but this just felt like a bratty teenagers who doesn't want to go visit grandma and this is every scene he really just made me feel like putting on the power armor and crushing his skull
. The only other thing I didn't like too much is the use of music for those who don't know in Fallout the nuke drops Ian the 50s so the world is trapped in the time after the fallout and in the game there is music playing from 50s artists you can tune into radio stations on your pip boy as you wonder the wasteland but I feel it's better not to so you feel that loneliness and desolation but anyway in the show music is playing over most scenes and I just felt it was overkill it doesn't even fit just a full blown song takes over and it just feels like suddenly we are watching a music video just so out of place when it works it works but constantly it just gets jarring.
My favourite character by far is the ghoul he is funny cool and bad ass everyone knows he is dangerous and he carries out his killing is style brilliant character. I have to give them credit too for the writing of Lucy our main protagonist she is delightful I love how naive she is exactly how you would expect someone who has lived a sheltered European lifestyle sheltered from the evils of the real world as the show progresses and the more horrors she sees the less naive she becomes but the innocence is always there and she tries to see the good in everyone and everything no matter how bad the circumstances.
Can't wait for season 2.
