Fallout’s aesthetic is one of the show’s strong points. “It’s kind of ‘Eisenhower America,’” director Jonathan Nolan tells Rolling Stone . “[It’s] America that never went through Vietnam, never went through Watergate, that retained some of its — some people would call it ‘innocence,’ some people would call it ‘naïveté.’ Changes were made, things got better and different, but they didn’t follow the same path our world followed.”

Fans of the games will not be disappointed by the portrayal on screen. “The game has so much flexibility,” Nolan tells IGN . “They’re so big, they’re so epic, there’s so many choices you can make and you’re removing a lot of that openness with the series. But the series can do things like flashbacks that are a little more challenging with the game. So that world, that world before the war, which is so distinct, so satirical, it is so much of the flavor of these games, and the ability to play in that, I think, was incredibly exciting to us.”

Fallout has an impressive 94% critics rating and 90% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. “Told in eight bingeable episodes using a limited amount of CGI, Fallout tracks the gory, R-rated-like dilemmas of three characters… Fallout never lags for one second and dangles from one cliffhanger to the next,” says Randy Myers of San Jose Mercury News .

No, you don’t have to be familiar with the video games to enjoy this show. “For newcomers such as me, this intelligent, drily witty, immaculately constructed series set in the Fallout universe fully captivates and entertains on its own terms,” says Lucy Mangan for The Guardian .
