I like this more than The Last of Us. Instead of going through the motions of adapting an already existing cinematic story that millions of us have already experienced numerous times, with Fallout they created something new. Even more, it's canonical with the games, so the events of this show will directly feed into future Fallout games.

I think Fallout tv show is better then Last of Us because it's an original story instead of just an adaptation. Everyone knows what's gonna happen in season 2 of last of us. No one knows what will happen in season 2 of the Fallout tv show

LOL! Solid? This show is absolutely fantastic in every way. It's easily one of the top streaming shows period.

I think Fallout has a leg up on Last of Us and pretty much every other video game adaption, that being that the show is canon to the games it's adapting.

Yes, it's giving fans additional content to consume. Instead of presenting an alternative version for fans to compare to the original and criticize.

As a long time fallout fan I had no hope for this show, I thought that there’s too much to cover for it to be satisfying. But they succeeded and deserves praise

Imo this show surpassed the last us and I loved the last of us. This was 8 episodes of story progression.. Zero filler. Faithful to the games and has me re-engaging with the games after several years away. So happy that other people are enjoying it as much as I did and can't wait to see what's next.

really enjoyed it, Now bring on "BIOSHOCK"

Fallout 4, a game that came out nearly a decade ago, has increased its sales numbers by 7500%. Fallout 76, a game that released in very poor state and by all accounts was considered dead, had 1 million concurrent players a day ago. That's bonkers.

FO76 was continuously worked on. This show is a great vehicle to provide it new exposure and give it a second chance. Personally I already played FO76 a few years ago after it became great. I'm looking forward to FO4s NextGen update out today to jump back into that one

Fallout was a good example of the people who made it understanding the assignment. If you were a fan or new to the genre there was something for everyone to love.

The synergy is there… there’s a report that Fallout 76 topped 1 million concurrent players at a time this week. All the Fallout games topped 5 million too. Not bad, considering the newest game is already several years old.

Fallout has some of the deepest lore in all of media. Acting like it's not on the level of The Last of Us is just blasphemy. I actually think season 1 of Fallout was better than the first season of TLoU. Then, you get into the length of the two stories and Fallout absolutely obliterates it. Plus, Fallout isn't just some "fun game" its a fucked up and twisted story about the inevitability of war and the horror that humans are capable of. It has its wacky style and jokes, but deep down, it is a really dark game.

I liked The Last of Us show and I'd say it was very good but I came away slightly disappointed for two reasons. The first is that because they stuck so closely to the games narrative, there were very few surprises throughout the entire first season. The second is that because they stuck so closely to the games narrative, I can't help but compare it to the game - and the game is going to win that comparison every single time. Fallout, on the other hand, is telling its own story within the world of Fallout - so *everything* is a surprise, and while I can compare it with the games, the comparison isn't even close to 1:1 so I don't come away feeling disappointed by the adaptation - instead, I'm excited by it. I think the approach each show took was the *correct* approach for their respective IPs - but Fallout is the one that excites me more because I don't know how this story is going to unfold. I just wish more video game adaptations would take a similar approach (looking at you, Halo).

I completely agree. TLoU game was an amazing story experience, even if you compare it to movies, books, TV or any format. The TV show was simply an adaptation. It was a pretty good adaptation, but the game is the superior way of experiencing the story.

If you're a fan of fallout, you probably watch this multiple times to look for all the Easter eggs. Great show.Can't wait for the second season

lol its Jonathan Nolan..... and he loves the Franchise. Bethesda loves the franchise. Amazon was behind the vision... thats how this is supposed to work.

It's literally the ONLY TV show I've watched in years and I'm not disappointed.

I like fallout way more than the last of us, and this is just season one, can't wait for Vegas .

At least they got the green light for S2 in only seven days after dropping the episodes!

I would say that as a video game adaptation that Fallout is better than TLOU.

A run time of 7hrs and 2.5 billion minutes, get you 5,592,841 viewers. So 5.6 million people watched it. Neat.

This was the most fun I've had watching a show in a long time. I'll take a second season of this over anything else that's come out in the last few years.

On reflection, I think I would argue that Fallout is the best video game adaptation to date, TLoU included. TLoU did an admirable job translating an abridged version of the video game to television, but Fallout pretty much perfectly translated the essence of the Fallout franchise into a completely new and immersive story. TLoU might score some extra points with people on the basis that it is a more contemplative drama, but Fallout successfully ticks so many boxes, including comedy, drama, and pure fun mayhem. They knocked it out of the park.

It was a masterpiece of a video game live-action adaptation, and a masterclass on "awkwardness in scene", and I'm so here for it.

Jonathan Nolan took Fallout to CCXP23 in Brazil (Denis Villeneuve & Dune 2 were also there) interview in India. Ella Purnell won the Cannes Series Madame Figaro Rising Star Award in France . The hard work paid dividends ❤

Fallout is a phenomenal show and I would put it on the same level of The Last of Us. They are very different in terms of tone and narrative, but that doesn't mean one has to be better than the other. That's the kind of thinking that has bleak dramas winning Oscars most of the time, while incredible films in other genres go home empty handed.

FALLOUT was fun. Last of us was depressing.

Video Game Adaptions have been great recently, especially with television. So here are all the recent video game adaptations for me ranked: 1. Twisted Metal 2. The Last of Us 3. Fallout 4. Super Mario 5. Sonic the Hedgehog 6. The Wicther 7. Five Nights at Freddy's 8. Uncharted

If only Rings of Power could have been the quality of this...

The first season of The Boys was all dropped at once too. Amazon does that with a lot of first time shows.

I’m so happy this show ….. exploded 😏 Really though I love this franchise I’m ecstatic it’s such a hit.

Finally! I was wondering what the Fallout TV Show had to do for John Campea gives spotlight in his show lol. In regarding Jonh's comment that is not in the same league as "The last of us" (TLU) well it is true because it is better :) More entertaining based in a new story in the video game world and brought old and new fans to the Fallout video games. TLU eat your heart out ;)

I very good video game adaptation, equals more interest in the source material as well. The numbers for the games on Steam quadrupled. As well as the show doing very well. The game developers and game studios need to get involved with these shows more heavily as Fallout proved. It is a money maker when it is done right.

After watching the Last of Us my reaction was… well I don’t need to play the game now. After finishing Fallout my reaction was… oooh, I need to check out this series of games.

One major contributing fact is it starts with respecting the lore and the fans.

A metric i heard was about 60% viewership was outside the US market. That's amazing for the IP. Now go look at the playing hours on the whole anthology..... This is great

Fallout was fun to watch, as someone who hasn't played the games, it was easy to follow. Also lots of practical sets (even if augmented by CGI) made the show seem made it feel like you like you were someplace that existed.

And the fallout games are having a surge in players

I have been a Fallout fan since the first game back in 1997. My only reservation is how bloody it can be. If you can get past that, it is clearly a spectacular adaptation, and one of the best shows currently on TV.

Lest be honest here, FALLOUT is an amazing idea (the lore, the game, and now the tv series), it's the PERFECT post apocalypse dream.

I went into this show with low expectations cause most video game adaptations dont turn out well, but I was so caught up in watching this, I had no idea I binged watched it till I reached the end, cause this was something that had me wanting to watch it more and see what happens next, Im probably gonna watch it again and I think its even gotten peoples interest on wanting to revisit the old games again, I even heard that fallout 76 had a big surge of players, like way way bigger then the launch year of the game.

5.5m viewers is low compare to Netflix show

Fallout was surprisingly a really good show. I've played none of the games. It also did what Silo on Apple TV could not do despite a similar premise. Fallout built an entire world inside the silo and outside. Silo struggled to really give us something to care about even inside the fallout shelter.

2:50 2.5B minutes of streaming indicates that many viewers binged the whole series in just e few days. What tells us, that the viewers were amazed by the show so much, they needed to see how the story goes on. Many other shows I watched, I still perhaps saw two or three episodes per week, even if all episodes were coming out at once. Sometimes I even watched perhaps the first 15 minutes of an episode and the watched the rest the other day, depending on how much time I had and how much I liked the show. But here I just needed three days to watch them all. Luckily I had a weekend with no other distractions. Perhaps it‘s also due to the fact that I also played many of the Fallout games.

10 episodes season 2 it deserves that and the fans too!

How about a Shogun review

Fallout doesn't just "know what it is", it isn't ashamed of what it is. At no point does it feel like the cast and crew consider games a lesser form of media that the show needs to "improve" on.
