Fun fact; Walton Goggins scared the shit out of himself on set. In an interview, he told a story where he fell asleep in full prosethtics as The Ghoul and when he woke up, he forgot about it until he saw his reflection

Whoever did the set design in this show deserves a fucking award. I swear, I envy the actors just for getting to walk in them.

Lucy's actress, Ella Purnell, voiced Jinx in Arcane and is now in Fallout. Man, someone really loves having her in videogame adaptations.

I'm glad so many people being introduced to Fallout are enjoying it as much as they are.

Ella Purnell said something about her character being Ned Flanders in the apocalypse. It's a pretty spot on description. 🤣

So the timeline for Fallout diverged from ours around the '50's, where instead of miniaturizing electronics and developing green technologies, we focused on nuclear tech, creating miniature fusion reactors and huge vacuum tube supercomputers, enhanced cybernetics, and robotic tech. the 1950's aesthetic as of 2077 (when the bombs dropped) was kind of a retro-futuristic sort of fad that was going on at the time, as it is documented in the games that Pretty Hate Machine and other 80's/90's era things did exist, but were out of vogue by this time. China was the dominant antagonist superpower to America, not Russia, and constant tensions between the two fuelled a nuclear arms race much like it did in our world, but the paranoid fear of Communism was more pronounced here, sort of like if the Red Scare just became an enduring facet of society instead of just a fading memory when the USSR fell. The European Commonwealth was analogous to the EU, and Canada ended up breaking off from the UK as a commonwealth at some point too. About 2052 is when world petroleum reserves began to run out, and oil wells began going dry. The Resource Wars began, with the European Commonwealth invading the Middle East for their oil, but after 8 years their wells dried up too, so the Commonwealth withdrew, and then devolved into infighting and the European Civil War began. Tensions between China and America flared, and the Sino-American war began in 2060. The US had already invaded Mexico for it's oil, and car manufacturers were desperately trying to switch over to fusion tech as gas engines were no longer viable with no fuel. Vault-Tec corporation had been established in 2054 and won the contract for the government project Safehouse, to prepare for a potential nuclear war with China. In 2066, China invaded Alaska, and Power Armor units were the mainstays of both fighting forces. By 2076, the US had annexed Canada to bolster its failing economy and began pushing back, launching a counter-invasion of China, and then, just a year later... The Great War happened, the launch of China's nukes after being pressed up against the wall by the US military prompted our own nuclear response, and, well... you know the rest. 200 years later is when the events of most of the Fallout games take place. As to the Vaults, they each had their own distinct directives, the only known ones to be connected to each other are the ones in the show: 31, 32, and 33. Also, Ghouls are irradiated humans who didn't die, but rather mutated and adapted to the radiation, although their features are 'ghoulified' in the process. This gives them very long extended lifespans, and actually gives them increased strength and regeneration in the presence of radioactive material. They have no noses so they can eat food normies find disgusting (yes they still need to eat and drink), but their status makes them resistant to most drugs so they have to take copious amounts to get the same effect as humans do. Their enhanced physiology that is resistant to damage helps them in this as well.

I just love that one Nolan gave us the Before The Bomb and the other one is giving us the After The Bomb.

A show that isn’t afraid of being a video game adaptation. Even in its world logic (like stim packs healing you pronto)

2:32 I LOVE how they did this part. You're paying attention to the girl being happy and they don't actually show you what happened, just a bright flash in the window, but you know exactly what just happened. Chilling.

Fun Fact: Hank (Lucy's dad), Kyle MacLachlan played Paul Atreides in David Lynch's Dune

As a long time practically obsessed fan of fallout, I'm crazy thankful for how good this show has turned out. It has brought on so much new love and a ton of new eyes to a franchise I've loved for so long!

I am SO glad you guys are watching this🙌

The opening "prologue" of this episode is (and I'm not even kidding" one of the most amazing openings to a TV show I've ever seen in my nearly 50 years of being on this planet. And the rest of the episode was pretty damn good also :D lol

hands down one of the most haunting openings to a show, just instantly fills you with dread the moment the light flashes.

Just a couple of non-spoiler game mentions - The 'stimpak' (syringe) is almost a cure-all. It's your basic medkit in the game. It doesn't cure everything, but will at least improve most things with immediate results. The orange inhaler the raider used is 'Jet', an inhaled steroid. As you have noticed by now, the show has a very dark and violent sense of humor. This come directly from the game which is perfectly matched in tone. Towards the end, you may have seen someone shot and killed with an arm of a baby doll. This was done with a 'junk jet' - a gun from the game that you literally load and fire with junk. Ghouls are people who have been exposed to radiation for extended periods of time. You'll learn a little more about them as the season progresses but props to Denise for spotting the hospital bags above the Ghoul's grave. It was relevant. Also, using the irony of the music is a big element of the game. The cheerful 50's crooner music set to a catastrophic or violent landscape/scene is itself part of the story and almost a character itself as a reminder of the moral of the story.

Thank you so much for reacting to my childhood video games. Played every game and the lessons about life that it teaches u especially in fallout NV. Its gotten me through life and its made me join the military as well. As a service member myself rn the show was perfectly made and we even have a marching "Lucy" cadence. I hope you guys will react to the rest of the show.

The older council member in the Vault in this is Leslie Uggams, aka Blind Al from Deadpool :D

Another interesting fact if you didn't notice, Betty (the elderly lady with the affro) is the blind lady from Deadpool :)

The intro to the ghoul in ep. 1 had the actor that played Bubba in Forrest Gump.

This show is 100% the correct way to do an original story in an existing video game universe.

Those suits of armor they are wearing called "power armor" are actually real practical suits in a bunch of shots

SO THRILLED that you're reacting to Fallout! As a veteran of all the major Fallout games, the attention to detail in this show has blown my mind. So many tiny "insignificant" things that most viewers will not even notice are there for the game fans to geek out over. Simply incredible how appealing this is whether you're familiar with the game(s) or not. Anxiously waiting for more! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🤗😁👍

First Song direct from the Games. I remember all of them

One thing I like is the possibility that the hat the Ghoul is wearing may infact be his daughters, as it looks about the same size as hers.

Usually I prefer reactions that have played the games. But them not having a clue is kind of hilarious and fun.

10:50 - The vaults are specifically designed as separate units to serve as firewalls between vaults, for just this reason - raiders, radiation, or even mutinous factions, pretty smart design, and why the vaults are isolated from each other

YES YES YES! Been watching yall for a while, so happy yall are doing this show!

I’ll say it again - your audio is the best on KZfaq.

Every single plot line was well written towards end of the season. I love it

the thing i love is all of the music in the show you can hear in the games on the ingame radio stations, and all the main fallout characters have nicknames associated with them not sure if Lucy has been given hers yet, the Vault Dweller, the Chosen one, the Warrior,the lone wander,the courier and the sole survivor in order of the games.

The inhaler is called Jet. It's makes you feel like the world around you slows down and takes you to the moon lol

I already watched a couple of reactors that have some knowledge of Fallout react to the TV show. But its refreshing to see someone react to the show with zero knowledge. Great stuff!

Glad to see you two reacting to this, I think you'll appreciate the story and characters as well as the filmmaking aspects of it all!

Glad you’re watching this. They absolutely nailed this show and stayed faithful to the source material. You’ll love it even though you haven’t played the game, but for us who have, it’s something special

After watching dozens of reactions and the series, I'm just now realizing that the meds The Ghoul inhales is probably just aerosolized Rad Away 😮😮

having played the games and dug into the lore, as soon as i saw it was prewar America i knew exactly what day it was

As for another show, definitely The Expanse! I think you guys would love it. It’s a futuristic hard sci-fi, based on a set of books that were written by the former assistants of George R.R. Martin. It was originally a SyFy show that got cancelled after season 3 because it was so expensive for a network channel, but the fans were so in love with it they campaigned all the big streaming platforms to pick it up, fans crowdsourced and flew a plane over Amazons headquarters with a banner that said save the expanse, as well as sent a model of one of the ships into space.

It's interesting to see your reactions to this coming in completely blind, and having never played the games before. I'm a longtime fan, playing since they were 2d isometric turn-based RPGs, and this show just absolutely nailed the tone and style of the games! Can't wait for your next episode reaction!

11:28 I love everyone feels sad about lucy's dad, until they learned somthing about him

I’m so happy you guys are reacting to this show! I love the way you react and i hope you will keep doing it for the next years❤

Kyle MacLachlan played Paul Atreides in the David Lynch Dune movie. That's all I think of whenever I see him in something lol.

Glad you both enjoy it

The first clue that something was off about vault 32 was the fact that Monty wasn’t clean shaven.

Wasn't sure which reactor I wanted to watch this series with. Glad you guys decided to give it a go!

Upon my first glimpse of T-60 powered armour, I thought is was Amazon Studios' version of Space Marine armour. It made me think that this was their way of slowly preparing us for the Warhammer 40K Cinematic Universe.

They captured the spirit of the games SO WELL in every way I started playing Fallout 4 again!

Perfect timing! Just watched S1 overnight so this'll be fun 👍

They got about the cutest little actress they could find for that role lol. adorable

Okie dokie The old school music fits so well with this world

You two are very quickly becoming my fav reactors! Well done breaking things down with good points.

It's great that Boyd Crowder, Limehouse, and Daryl Crow Jr. made it out of the apocalypse. ;)

Great first season, I love ( The Good, The Bad and The Ugly ) Style they went with introducing the characters.

Yessss! I’m so glad you guys are checking out this show. It’s so, so good. You can really tell everyone involved in making this show is respecting the universe established in the games🔥

So glad you guys are watching this! Love the games, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park with this show! Fun seeing your reactions as folks who haven't played the games but who are very intelligent, observant entertainment connoisseurs!

Lucy is the voice actress of Jinx in Arcane

Fun fact: The leading cowboy who digs up The Ghoul is Bubba from Forrest Gump

So excited to see you watch this first season! Especially being folks who haven't played the games. I've played 4 but grew up watching my brother play some 3 and New Vegas, and last year I watched a let's play of the first two games on PC, so a lot of easter eggs tickled me for sure.

I binged this whole series when it came out, and I couldn't wait to see your reactions. I just loved this series! As Denise pointed out, the score is incredible and it is perfect throughout the entire series! Great first episode review!

Glad you're watching this. Feel free to ask questions because without the games a lot of subtext might be difficult to grasp. It's an awesome show, very faithful to it's source material.

Love you guys ! You guys deserve a million subscribers!!

Wasn't expecting you guys to react to this at all, I can't wait! Walton Goggins as The Ghoul is one of my favorite characters in a long time! He's always been a great, under appreciated actor but I think this role will really put his name out there.

Long term player here and I loved it! I hope you guys react to the whole season 🙂

Yess let's go! The best thing that stands out for me is how the music choices fits each situation so damn well.

I was hoping you guys would do this one! I should probably wait until you have them all out, but I love you two, so I will be going crazy waiting for you to get these videos out. 😆Enjoy!

I am so looking forward to watching all of these reactions after they all come out. Binding is the best!

Oh hell nahhhh?!? you guys decided to watch Fallout? awesomeeeeee :D

YEEEES so glad you're reacting to this!!!!

You 2 are going to love the rest of this show. Can't wait to see all of your reactions

9:25 The raider told that guy "Stick around". lol

I’m so glad you all are watching this. And you’re catching all the little details. This show is amazing. You’ll love it

I am really glad you are reacting to this series. They really nailed the tone and feel of the Fallout universe.

Thank you guys for doing this one, please do the rest, you won’t be disappointed. This is from a huge fan since Fallout 3 launched in, like, 2008.

This reaction is interesting, it's like watching 2 vault-dwellers watch the show

Also the black lady in the counsel is also Blind Al from Deadpool.

As a suggestion for other shows to check out, i highly, HIGHLY recommend 'Band of Brothers'. Its a 10 episode mini-series, so the same time as Fallout and not a chore to watch. It tells the story of Easy Company during the second world war and what the men had to endure during that time. Its directed by Spielberg and Tom Hanks, the same as 'Saving Private Ryan' and i remember how much you both loved that movie. It's considered one of the best tv shows ever made, and i would REALLY love to see you both react to it! I guarantee you wont be disappointed!

Looking forward to the rest of this series on this channel!

really glad you are checking this out! as a fan of both Fallout and The Last Of Us (i think TLOU 1 and 2 have the best story telling in a video game ever / i played both Fallout 1 and 2 couple times when i was younger so memory is a bit fuzzy on those, played Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas multiple times, got 1200h in Fallout 4 and played a couple hundred hours of Fallout 76) i think that FALLOUT season 1 is BETTER than THE LAST OF US Season 1. Simply based on the fact that TLOU is an expanded adaptation of the first games story, amazingly recreated (and as said expanded) for the Show in a perfectly recreated game world. FALLOUT on the other hand pulls off to tell a BRAND nEW story inside a perfectly recreated (and set design, costumes and all had much more to do here than in TLOU) Gameworld. And its a story that fits into and IS canon in the greater fallout timeline. So FALLOUT is actually expandind on the already game world canon instead of retelling it like TLOU did.

You're going to love this show. It stays true to the games in atmosphere, style, tone, etc. One thing I want to mention is the vaults are typically standalone. Vaults 31, 32, and 33 are connected which is special.

Thanx for the reply. I think you guys are awesome. I love seeing people passionate about something

I like seeing the reactions in the first 3 minutes, they are always astonished.

The Fallout reaction hype train is real. And I LOVE it! 😀😃😀 I've been playing the Fallout franchise for years and it's truly amazing how the sets/props/wardrobe is so damn spot-on when compared to the game.

My favorite reactor couple finally embarks in the journey of Fallout the TV show. (This comment was written before watching the video)

The actor playing Maximus was fantastic in this, I got so much Denzel Washington vibes from him I actually started wondering if he is his son. o.O

I was waiting for these reactions 🤩 let me just say that i've watched the 1 season in a single afternoon 🙄 much love from Italy 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Awesome! Can’t wait to go through this it was the same for me I didn’t know much about it but great show!

I'm impressed that this show featured many songs from the Fallout games. 'Crawl out through the fallout', 'I don't want to set the world on fire' etc. One of the best game adaptations ever.

I grew up with Fallout, played my first one back in 2001 I think and then I bought Fallout 2 CD which I still have today! Huge fan of the fallout franchise and i can say it's amazing how well adapted this series is. You guys are in for a treat! Also love to see the reactions of people that never played the games, so fun and interesting to hear other opinions and the fun game of figure out what's happening and what's the story is! Welcome to the Wasteland!

the best thing about this show is that it all makes sense from start to end and that they actually answers your questions :) Can't wait to see your reaction to last episode :D Good luck

This is gonna be a fun ride with y’all! Be patient your questions will be answered slowly

Since I know y'all loved the Die Hard movies, I'm not sure if anyone commented on this yet, but I have a hunch that the one who made Lucy MacLean loved those movies as well. Not spelled the same "McClane" but still gets that feeling.

Amazing show! You're in for a wild ride! ❤

Never played the game but I enjoyed the show. You guys are in for a treat!

Honestly, Prime Video has been on a roll. The Boys, Invincible, Hazbin Hotel and now this? Good for them.

Great reaction ❤😊

so glad you guys are watching.

so glad you're watching this, i'm totally here for it. also, if you decide to react to "the expanse" i'll be there for that too. just a quick fyi, the opening of this is an on screen depiction of what became known as "the great war" in the fallout universe. it was the culmination of a decade of war with China and lasted only 2 hours. during that 2 hours pretty much the entire surface of the world was changed forever.

Walton Goggins, my beloved.

As a long time fallout fan this show hit the mark almost 100% to the game. Everything from the mutated animals, the feral ghouls, the stimpacks, the towns, etc etc to the way people talk. The music is the same music you can listen to in game via the pipboy that the vault dwellers have on their wrists. And even the gore, dismemberment is a huge part of the game. I binged the whole season in 1 day and was very impressed with it. And when yall get a chance, you have got to play it.

THIS SHOW IS AMAZING !!! the main character is "Lucy Maclean" sound just like John McClean daughter ( Die Hard) that´s a great referenfe to the 80´s pop culture. Wel enjoy the ride tales of Lucy and the other guys is fantastic!
