​

Ahead of the premiere of its first season, it seems Amazon's Fallout show has already been renewed for a season two. While not officially announced by Amazon, Variety reported yesterday that the California Film Commission has announced it awarded $152 million in tax incentives to a dozen TV shows, $25 million of which is going towards the second season of Fallout. While the first season was filmed in New York and Utah, this indicates filming will move to California for the next season.

Speaking of the upcoming premiere of Fallout, its release date has just been bumped up again. It was originally announced for April 12 before being moved up to April 11, and now, two days before its expected release, it's been giving a last-minute advancement to April 10. This means Fallout's entire first season will be available to stream tomorrow.

​

If you'd like to see some behind-the-scenes footage from the Fallout show ahead of its surprise release tomorrow, Amazon released a short featurette last week.

Better watch Jeff's Fallout show, or he'll union bust his warehouse employees even harder.

I saw a commercial for this show yesterday on TV. Coincidentally.

It's got Kyle McLachlan and someone we liked from Yellowjackets, so I'm on board.
I just checked the timing and it's not until 2am tomorrow UK time

Reviews are out. Looking forward to it!

Worth it for Kyle MacLachlan

Oh man oh man, this just made me think of a RDR tv show, that would be fantastic. Both games are excellent, and the adaptation wouldn't be as difficult to portray/translate as say, like here with FO.. Maybe some day, eh?

 

[MSearles]

Since it's airing today, I thought it would have been uploaded on the internet by now. Sucks. I guess we have to wait like everyone else until Amazon releases it.

Just got done watching episode 1, I like what I'm seeing so far.

No spoilers, but I think that one thing that's working well for it, and is likely due to the setting of the Fallout universe as a whole, is that the show doesn't seem to be taking itself overly seriously. It's a little over the top, it's a little comedic, it's got tons of the satire that you see all throughout the Fallout universe.

The entire season dropped at once, so while I only watched episode 1 tonight, I'm looking forward to seeing more of it tomorrow.

Watched the pilot episode...

Is the actress who plays Lucy that bad of an actress or is it the character? She was painfully dull to watch.

Maximus female friend is referred to a "their" probably should have seen that coming.

Is there any part of the episode I enjoyed? Yes, the scenes with Walton Goggins, but they were few and far between so I'm not going to watch the rest for him (he's definitely the best part of the show).

Casual transphobia in a gamer forum? Probably should have seen that coming.

Binge watched all but the last episode and as someone who enjoys the games, the show is good TV. Being treated to the Junk Jet in the first episode definitely has me excited to see some of the other whacky in-game weapons. There's a healthy amount of comedy that doesn't encroach on the serious moments, and they definitely respect the gore you get from gibbing bodies. Looking forward to season 2!

What? I was talking about the pronoun and you went with transphobia? That doesn't make any sense.

warning this show has subliminal advertising don't watch it!

 

[Hanafuda]

Watched the first episode last night, and it was good fun. Never played Fallout and not concerned about connection to or tie-ins with the game(s). It's a TV show, done well, that doesn't take itself too seriously. That's all. A few weeks ago it was 3 Body Problem, now it's this, and in a few more weeks hopefully there'll be something else to binge and forget.

What "subliminal advertising"? There's nothing in the article about that, what was discussed there is an intended consequence from watching the show.. Well because people enjoyed it, they wouldn't check the source material/ games if they didn't.

I was half way through ep5, it's been very enjoyable so far! (in my unbiased opinion).
I think my only wish is that they should've added more episodes..

 

[jimkage]

So far I liked the scenes pre Fallout better than the Fallout storyline (stopped at episode 4) at this point the only scene I liked was when Lucy said "she steals dads."
Somehow it's largely uninteresting, also the 2 first episodes being an hour long made it excruciating I enjoyed 3 and 4 way more because they had a shorter runtime.

Visual is very good. I would say 8/10. Story ( wait, what story? do you actually expect it? ) 4/10. Acting 6.5/10
Westworld vibe 7/10. no bad woke 7/10

Verdict : Watchable
