“Prime Video’s adaptation arrives at an interesting time for the nuke stuff, sure, apropos of Ukraine and our generally heightened state of nuclear anxiety. But it’s also important to note that video-game adaptations are no longer considered to be entirely a fool’s errand. The obvious example to look to would be HBO’s The Last of Us, which was just about the most critically acclaimed and broadly watched TV show of 2023. But Fallout isn’t like The Last of Us, which was acclaimed for its screen-ready narrative in the first place. The ripest part for adaptation is its world: the corny, B-movie retro-futurism; its blunt-force satire of the American Dream; the factions and locales that make Fallout … well, Fallout.” — Jack King, “Fallout Series-Premiere Recap: Orange Colored Sky”
