In this "Giant Mess", vault dweller Neal Lynch recaps, reacts, and reviews Season 1 of Fallout, Amazon Prime's adaptation of the post-apocalyptic survival video game.

Created by Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner

First episode date: April 10, 2024

Number of episodes: 8

In a future, post-apocalyptic Los Angeles brought about by nuclear decimation, citizens must live in underground bunkers to protect themselves from radiation, mutants and bandits.

The series depicts the aftermath of the Great War of 2077, an apocalyptic nuclear exchange in an alternate history of Earth where advances in nuclear technology after WWII led to the emergence of a retrofuturistic society and a subsequent resource war. 

Many survivors took refuge in fallout bunkers known as Vaults, unaware each Vault was designed to perform sociological and psychological experiments on the Vault Dwellers. 

More than 200 years later in 2296, a young woman named Lucy leaves behind her home in Vault 33 to venture out into the dangerously unforgiving wasteland of a devastated Los Angeles to look for her father, who had been kidnapped. Along the way, she meets a Brotherhood of Steel squire and a ghoul bounty hunter, each with their own mysterious pasts and agendas to settle.

Main


Ella Purnell as Lucy MacLean, a young Vault Dweller




Aaron Moten as Maximus, a squire of the Brotherhood of Steel who becomes an ally to Lucy




Kyle MacLachlan as Hank MacLean, Lucy's father and the Overseer of Vault 33, who originates from Vault 31


Moisés Arias as Norm MacLean, a Vault 33 resident, and Lucy's brother


Xelia Mendes-Jones as Dane, a scribe of the Brotherhood of Steel and Maximus's closest friend


Walton Goggins as The Ghoul / Cooper Howard, a once famous Hollywood actor and Vault-Tec ambassador who mutated into a ghoul after the bombs fell and now makes a living as a gunslinger and bounty hunter



Recurring


Sarita Choudhury as Lee Moldaver, the commander of a New California Republic military division with a past connection to Hank


Leslie Uggams as Betty Pearson, a member of Vault 33's governing council, and later Overseer, who originates from Vault 31


Johnny Pemberton as Thaddeus, a squire of the Brotherhood of Steel who serves Maximus


Zach Cherry as Woody Thomas, a member of Vault 33's governing council


Annabel O'Hagan as Stephanie Harper, a pregnant resident of Vault 33 and Lucy's closest friend, who originates from Vault 31

Racked up a whopping 2.9B minutes viewed in its first five days on the platform.

With more than 65 million viewers in its first 16 days since release, FALLOUT was the most watched title ever among Adults 18-34 and the second-most watched title on Prime Video.
