Can't wait for this,I love this type of show,creepy and mysterious.
They completely nailed the look, feel and vibe of the games and it's fucking amazing.
I've never played the Fallout games and as someone who doesn't know anything about the franchise I found this season very good, the series addresses several important points related to war and the domination of large corporations. And the way the story is told, alternating between past and present, everything fits together well, not to mention the arc of the main characters who are all interconnected, I can't forget the post-apocalyptic setting as I really enjoy this theme. It was all very well crafted, I really enjoyed it, I couldn't stop watching and I'm already looking forward to a second season.
Pretty good show. Keeps you interested the whole season and is is not what you typically get of a Netflix series.
Much better than the movie. Two episodes in and I'm hooked.
P.S. Sadly, after whole season, I don't feel the same. Not sure why, but my hype for the show kinda fizzled out.
The feel for the whole show is a meh (5), but I gave it fair (6) score just because of hype from beginning.
Having been a die-hard fan of the video games I have high hopes (but low expectations) that this show will be awesome! I felt Silo had a very Fallout feel to them and if this is at least as good as Silo has been then this will be a winner!
Just seeing the Marvel Spotlight at the beginning made me know this was going to be different than what we have been seeing lately from the cookie cutter movie style Marvel uses for everything.
The show absolutely broke the mold Marvel has been using; and while I enjoyed Ms. Marvel, which tried to break the mold but really didn't, they were able to do so with this. The story was different, very Marvel Knight-esque in terms of how it plays out, but it was a really cool side story for a character we didn't see much of, but she was badass when we did.
In a time when we are lacking a lot new content, this show did not only fill a content void, it did so exceeding my expectations of Yet Another Marvel Anything.
Ok, maybe it was my low expectations or this was really awesome and entretaning.
Loved it so far, watching the rest of the episodes. The cast is great, loved the Sweet Tooth character and can't wait to see more of hi(only at EP.3 while writing this).
I think this is one of those you hate it or love it. But if you're into comedy with some gore action give this a chance.
Despite the huge amount of disappointment from so many on this show, I loved it. I loved that this alien invasion drama was not America-centric for one, that is a big step forward for me in telling a "global" crisis-level story, and I found it starkly contrasting that the largest representation of American influence was from the war-minded General who said the only response is nuclear and boom there we have it. Seemingly turned the tide but probably opened the door for what is the greater threat to come which is, who sent these aliens. A global crisis should involve a global cast, and for such a massive story, they did spend an incredible amount of time in developing the human drama and for me, from that angle, they involved our imagination when actually confronting aliens first-hand. I found this show, slow at times, no doubt, but ultimately enjoyable. It's a different approach to an invasion story which was not wrapped in a nice neat bow at the end.
Good first episode, looking forward to to the rest of the season. :thumbsup_tone1:
Awesome first season so far! 10/10 for me.
Superb final episode. Exactly what you would expect from a John Wick spin-off. I hope there will be a season 2 showing how the Continental and Winston progress. :thumbsup_tone1: Really liked the Music. Well worth a watch. :thumbsup_tone1:
Very good start to this short season. Great action, with a good storyline about Winston and The Continental. :thumbsup_tone1: Well worth a watch :thumbsup_tone1:
Some people are making a fuss that the timeline is confusing. Since this is the internet it gets blown out of proportion. You get a clear hint in one episode this is happening and its easy to figure it out afterwards. That being said, just watch it! It´s really good!
I want expecting much when it came up as a suggestion in my prime lists.
if you're a homophob, not for you.
if you're not into girl power, strong women, not for you.
if you're racist, not going to be for you.
if you like fantasy, crossed with "crime" solving, military-ish with superwomen? you're in luck.
it's surprisingly engaging. charmed with a while lot more kick-assery going on.
A refreshing departure from the typical formulaic Sci-Fi, and it seems like it may go somewhere special. Do yourself a favour and check it out if you haven't already.
I just loved it. Brilliant story telling. Wasn't expecting that I would end loving this as much as I did, especially after I was so disappointed with The Irregulars from Netflix.
Felt like an epoch X-Men type of tale. If you like sci fi mixed with mutants and epoch scenario, then don't miss this.
Just binged the entire thing, I liked it personally and think they did a great job.
Read the book some years ago. As far as I can remeber the show is near that. I liked it. Solid 8.
Read the book! Its a really good one from Gibson.
This show really surprise me! I thought it was just going to be another teenage angst show, which definitely have some aspects of that to it, but also much much more to the show! Young actors are great, and a lot of good storylines! Really kept me on the edge of my seat through the first six episodes anyway !!
Just finished watching season 1. Highly recommend really good show
I just watched the 1st episode. They didn't skimp on the super fight choreography. I love the concept of how this is a prequel to the rise of Winston Scott, who eventually became the manager of The Continental. The episodes are an hour and a half long. I can't wait for the next two to drop.
This series absolutely fantastic, characters have so much charm and likeability. Great story, great action, great comedy, great women!
WOW. This is a masterpiece of storytelling. The casting was stellar and the performances were magical. The cinematography captured the grittiness of occupied France and the horrors of the invaders were on full display. If I have any complaints in the storytelling they might be twofold, all Germans were portrayed as the darkest of evil (I don’t believe it was that black and white) and the connection between Werner and Marie was a little too much of a rushed fairytale at the end. But, the whole was a wonderful romantic journey, in the classical sense of the power of lofty ideals rather than in human attraction. I give this limited series a 9 (superb) out of 10. [Historical Drama]
Finally Netflix is finally getting the idea of producing adult entertainment without the kid stuff. Just try to scare the crap out of people and they will enjoy it
I loved it. The story develops in a slow pace. I like the characters and most actors are doing a great job. Found it very entertaining.
This show requires patience. It's slow and told very much from a ordinary human perspective. However it pays off well from midway onwards. Many people who seem to write badly of the show have done so early on, judging by the dates on the comments.
Don't go into this thinking of it as a action epic, it's very much a drama with bits of action. Some characters are rather unlikeable too at times which is a bit of a odd choice in some places. But the story rewards the viewer the longer you keep with it.
Looking forward to season 2.
This is, hands down, the most immersive adaptation of a video game I've ever watched.
I'd go so far as to say Fallout is in a league of its own. Because, unlike most other adaptations, it's an engrossing original story that expands the franchise's universe and fleshes out much of its lore.
The attention to details of the show is phenomenal. Fallout fans will instantly recognize faithful recreations of in-game elements, such as the Junk Jet, Pip-Boys, power armors and their UIs, Dogmeat's sound effects, just to name a few.
What an incredible fan service! Congratulations, Mr. Howard. This time, it really does "just work".
On the flipside, viewers who are not into the games may not appreciate the gore and dark humor that's quintessentially Fallout.
My Season 2 wishlist/predictions: Assaultrons, deathclaws, energy weapons, and a UFO crashing :wink:
1st of all...this is sci-fi for adults. I started watching because as a sci-fi fan the previews for season 2 looked good and then I looked up the score for season 1 and was like ooof 50 percent. I am super glad I pushed play it has been a very fun watch... yesss there is a lot of character development and story compared to just showing human vs alien action scenes the whole time...it's slow and effective because unlike the negative reviewers..I am not a child I am also a parent and an adult so we more easily insert ourselves into terrifying situations especially when the acting is very good and the post apocalyptic look and feel is done so well
