Description:
Fallout is one of Prime Video's most-watched shows of all time so it should
be no surprise that it's getting a second season.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Fallout has only been streaming for a week, but it's already smashing Prime Video's streaming records. It's the most-streamed show since Rings of Power , making it one of the most-watched shows in Prime Video's history so it's no surprise that season two has been greenlit already and judging by the ending of season one we'll be headed to New Vegas.

We don't know anything about the plot or which cast members will be
returning. But according to the producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, they "we can't wait to blow up the world all over again. Holy shit". As Deadline reports, the pair thanked their showrunners, Kilter Films, Amazon and game developer Bethesda "for having the courage to make a show that gravely
tackles all of societys most serious problems these days cannibalism,
incest, jello cake. More to come! Why Fallout's been such a big hit for Prime Video

Fallout is currently sitting with a near-perfect 99% score on Rotten Tomatoes, and the critics have been raving about it. It's another great video game adaptation following in the footsteps of The Last of Us , albeit with a lot more laughs. The Age says it's "goofy when its bloody, glinting when its conspiratorial, and always looking for another way to surprise you", while
New Scientist says that " Fallouts all-American apocalypse has lots to say about capitalism and the supposedly benign forces of civilisation. But it is also just good fun something we need more of on our TV screens."

The Washington Post identifies a key part of its appeal: "The best part
about the world of the Fallout games, and now this show, is that its among
the most relatable science fiction wastelands" and it sticks close to the game's heart without doing a Doom movie. As the Seattle Times says, rather presciently: "Rather than mimic the combat or mechanics of the games, Fallout aims for the tonal heart. Not only does it hit a bulls-eye, it leaves the
door open for more to come."

Critic after critic has hailed the show's humor, and Keith at the Movies puts it well: it's "an absolute knockout a brilliantly crafted cocktail of postapocalyptic mayhem laced with humor that ranges from cynical to outrageous. Better yet, the show nails that tricky balance of entertaining newcomers while satisfying the most passionate of fans."
