Prime Video’s ‘Fallout’ Is an Ultra-Violent and Twistedly Fun Video Game Adaptation: TV Review


A standout in the world of video game adaptation, Prime Video's "Fallout" is a violent but intriguing look into the beloved post-apocalyptic universe.

Lucy MacLean ( Ella Purnell) is an overly cheery young woman who has spent her entire life in the luxurious Vault 33, adhering to the “golden rule” of her “Pleasantville”-like society. Elsewhere on the surface level, Maximus ( Aaron Moten) is finding his way as a lowly soldier in the Brotherhood of the Steel – an Army-type organization committed to bettering the wasteland by collecting and preserving technology. Moreover, unexpected stylistic choices, including archaic technology, a soundtrack full of hits from Ella Fitzgerald and Bing Crosby and odd mid-20th century dialogue, contrast against disturbingly vicious deaths, making “Fallout” a sensory-fueled feast.
