‘Fallout’ TV series lives up to video game franchise

Prime’s new action-adventure TV series, Fallout, is based on the famous Fallout video game series, and it places viewers right into the story itself.

The series has three main protagonists: The Ghoul, Maximus, and Lucy Maclean. The Ghoul is collecting a bounty, Maximus is on a mission, and Lucy is looking for her dad.

The story takes place in the year 2296, 219 years after the Great War of 2077, when nuclear bombs were detonated, killing nearly everyone. The people who lived are either in The Brotherhood of Steel, live in vaults, or are raiders.

The Brotherhood of Steel is a military order that specializes in technology. Raiders are people who just take what they want and will do anything. The people who live in vaults have done so since the Great War of 2077.

The show is phenomenal, and it accurately represents the video games. This is unusual, since when most producers make a show or movie based on a game, they usually leave out important information or don’t try whatsoever.

Viewers who have played the games will catch references to the franchise, but newcomers also will be able to understand everything.

The show is amazing and captures the essence of the video games. The eight episodes are each about an hour long, but they are worth every moment.
