Fallout

Prime Video | 11 April | Season 1 | 8 Episodes

Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. Two-hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind—and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.


More excited for this than I was for the last couple of Fallout games…

Could someone let me know if the whole Fallout series is released on launch day, or if it’s weekly? Want to make sure I only need to sub for a month :slight_smile:

All eight episodes were released simultaneously late last night/early this morning. A one month subscription should be good.

Can’t decide if I liked it or not

I used my 7 day free trial for Prime (odd they let me since I had a paid sub a number of years ago). Watched all 8 episodes of Fallout. It was worth every penny!

No spoilers.

I really enjoyed it. They captured the Fallout feel and vibe perfectly, especially the humour of it. It made me want to install a Fallout game (just not 76) and made me want season 2.

Im VERY scared about this.

I know they can do it well, they should have given it a different name though, since there is the Senna Documentary already. as well as so many others
