A real plot that unfolds with care
I love this kind of show with back-and-forth between the past and the present, where the answers are revealed little by little... only to raise more questions.
On top of that, the post-apocalyptic world of the franchise is well done, with a good dose of humor thrown in too.

Je suis d'accord, la série mélange plein de genres et se permet même d'être drôle.

Retro-style adventures in a nuclear world
Just when you think you’ve had enough of shows about post-apocalyptic, dystopian worlds, along comes Fallout. Whether you’re a fan of the video games or not, it doesn’t matter. This show should be judged on its own merits, and boy, does it have a lot of those.
Unlike a lot of post-apocalyptic shows, this one feels fun and upbeat, even when the characters are up against it. The series takes all the typical themes – fighting for survival, dodging dangerous creatures that want to kill you, escaping humans that have returned to tribal behaviour – and puts a big, kitsch 1950s spin on it.
The set design alone makes this worth watching, but I also love the way the characters interact and evolve alongside the plot. The casting and acting are spot on, particularly Lucy (Ella Purnell) and Cooper Howard/The Ghoul (Walton Goggins). I think Kyle MacLachlan also deserves credit for managing to nail the part of Hank so well that you genuinely find it hard to tell whether he’s a cheery good guy or sinister overlord.

One of the few excellent video game adaptations
Over the last decade, a number of truly disappointing video game adaptations have released. I was afraid Fallout would continue the tradition. But I can't say enough about this show through two seasons.
The leads (Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, and Aaron Moten) in Fallout are nothing short of magnetic, and their skill is brought out all the more by top-notch writing with plenty of wit.
The creators have done something special here. They took an established IP and made something new that actually fits with the feel and aesthetic of the games. After two very strong seasons, I don't believe the show will falter.

Wit, Humor, and a Great Plot
I played the original Fallout games on PC ages ago. Honestly, I thought the series would be a sloppy cash grab riding on a wave of fan nostalgia.
Boy, was I wrong! There's a genuine storyline here, spanning 200 years, with twists and connections that only become clear as you go along.
Plus, there's plenty of tongue-in-cheek humor in the exaggerated confrontations between the overly sheltered vault dwellers and the outside world.
