I know the Fallout show is really campy… but fuck, it always was really campy, way back to the beginning. That’s actually staying true to form with the camp and the old west themes.
Let’s just say it just scratches that itch well enough. We’re not talking award winning performances except for maybe Walton Goggins, whose character has seemingly been given the most background story (which tracks for a guy who’s been alive so long to have a… longer backstory) and the best material to work with, comparatively.
Anyway, both seasons are imperfect but a lot of fun if you can look past flaws. Looking forward to another campy romp in season 3… sad to see Dave Foley didn’t make the cast list, though. I need more Yes Man in my life god damn it.
Ella Purnell is super cute I wish I was her cousin.
No more cousin stuff!

Fallout 1 had some goofy bits but they were more like easter eggs than anything. Fallout 2 is when it embraced being campy in pulp 50/60s style but even then it was restrained to just that. Bethesda made it into a caricature of itself later with Fallout 3 and 4. New Vegas from Obsidian (who are ex-Black Isle guys, original creators of Fallout) tried to right the ship but the TV series also made a caricature out of it.
Fallout TV series is fine on its own but it definitely strays from what original games were like. I don’t mind people like new Fallout but why drag the original with it? Is it to appear cool because it implies you know the original? Someone disliking new Fallout games or TV series might never give FO1 a chance if they hear its like the new ones.
My man those are rose tinted glasses you’re wearing. The whole plot with Gizmo in junktown is campy as fuck. There’s enough pop culture references to make a nerd orgasm. People act like that shit started out with Fallout 2 but no way, there was tons of goofy shit in Fallout. It’s a lot less well written than we want to remember ha.
Fallout 1 was Mad Max type of goofy. Fallout 2 started sprinkling pop culture references everywhere. There’s a big difference in humour between them.

Give me a break, the evidence is there. This is all in Fallout, not Fallout 2.
That’s not exactly a long list there.

Have you actually played Fallout 1?
Sequel to popular game has more things that people liked, more at 11!
Seems like you agree with me that Fallout wasn’t drowning in pop culture references in the beginning. Why the sarcasm?
Season 2 had way too many story lines for an 8 episode show. Everything felt rushed and underdeveloped. It is a shame because several of those storylines were intriguing.
With that said, I will be checking out season 3.
Ella Purnell getting to be in a show that is more than two seasons… yay!
No I have no interest in Fallout, just disappointed her other show wasn’t renewed for more.
S2 was very underwhelming to me.
I’m a longtime fallout fan and I’m indifferent to a S3
If there was ever a series that needed 22 episodes a season it was this one.
Annabel O’Hagan and Dave Register have also been promoted to series regulars for Fallout Season 3.
I would have assumed they already were regulars, a fair bit of the plot has revolved around them.
