…una adaptación de un videojuego casi tan buena como 'The Last of Us'…
And with other acclaimed video game adaptations such as “The Last of Us” having an immense drop in quality in their second season, there were concerns that it could fail to maintain the momentum from its first season.
Much thanks for that goes to the small screen, not least HBO’s splashy TV adaptation of The Last of Us…
Of course I’m referring to The Last of Us, HBO’s hit apocalyptic, zombie drama that was one of their most watched shows of 2025.
Like other such properties like The Last of Us, a particular viewer’s enjoyment of this show – and the potential for disappointment – will be enhanced considerably by a familiarity with preexisting characters and storylines.
From The Last of Us and Arcane to Castlevania, TV adaptations of video games are on something of a roll…
Beyond that, they weaved his discoveries of Vault-Tec with his sister’s narrative, which reminded me of the big reveals we got in Westworld.
…with hints of Westworld, Lost, The Walking Dead, and most modern sitcoms…
The suggestion was already there once the first season of Fallout ended with the Ghoul asking Lucy if she wanted to go to New Vegas with him and “meet your makers,” phrasing that’s basically ripped from Westworld’s hosts trying to find the people who created and then enslaved them within the titular amusement park.
They aren’t its creators like they were on “Westworld”, but they are executive producers…
…directed by Westworld‘s Lisa Joy…
Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan (of Westworld)…
There’s the loyal dog of I Am Legend, the manic berserkers of Mad Max (though without their wit or characterisation) and even the bonkers future-nostalgia of Fallout at one point.
…territory that belongs to a more surreal strain of post-apocalyptic fiction like Fallout or 28 Years Later…
Post-apocalypse horror and sci-fi survival thrillers continue to be all the rage currently, whether it’s The Last of Us, Fallout and Silo on TV or 28 Years Later, its sequel The Bone Temple and The End of Oak Street on the big screen.
…the final act throws in a sequence that's essentially 28 Days Later meets Fallout…
No se puede decir que Amazon Prime Video tenga demasiadas series que sean titanes mainstream, al estilo de 'Stranger Things' o 'Juego de tronos' en la competencia.
Now structured more akin to Game of Thrones, there are multiple other concurrent storylines…
…akin to how Game of Thrones’ gradually heating tinder box plotlines would suddenly catch alight…
And whilst not as strong as his work for “Game of Thrones,” Ramin Djawadi’s score is used effectively.
…(this episode was written by Dave Hill, whose credits include Game of Thrones and The Wheel of Time)…
…written by Game of Thrones veteran Dave Hill…
I do recall that the first season of The Boys released all at once, and then the following seasons all started with a few episodes then the rest came out weekly.
Si acaso, 'The Boys' sería su mayor fenómeno, junto quizás con la serie que hoy nos ocupa…
Prime Video made this same switch with The Boys after its breakout first season, so this is a good sign for Fallout’s ability to generate ongoing conversation.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
Directed by James Manning
influenced Fallout (2024)
Lo han intentado con propuestas como 'Los anillos de poder' con un resultado dejémoslo en aceptable…
As a result, it has to adopt a “Rings of Power” approach, never a promising sign, where important characters miss several episodes to make them less cluttered.
Unlike The Last of Us, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, and IT: Welcome to Derry, this is the type of IP driven television that we should want to see…
…the question of whether peace on earth is worth pursuing at the expense of individuality (again, big Pluribus vibes)…
Was anyone else reminded of Pluribus this week?
In very One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest fashion, good ol’ American capitalists were brainwashed into embracing Red communism.
Real Jurassic Park vibes in that final scene…
It reminds me of sitting through The Matrix Reloaded for the first time, down to the visual of House sitting in front of endless screens like the Architect.
…with hints of Westworld, Lost, The Walking Dead, and most modern sitcoms…
…with hints of Westworld, Lost, The Walking Dead, and most modern sitcoms…
There’s a Black Mirror quality to this; a bittersweet moment made possible only via a sinister technology.
From The Last of Us and Arcane to Castlevania, TV adaptations of video games are on something of a roll…
There's also "Arcane," for those who want their video games to be boldly reinterpreted and presented with gorgeous animation.
Sitting somewhere between Westworld (Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy are exec-producers, with Nolan directing the first three episodes) and AMC’s Preacher…

…before she’s Life of Brian’d…
He looks set for a larger role next season, but for now, his entire purpose seemed to be to have people see an adult Kevin McCallister dressed as a Roman covered in blood.
…didn’t need to be schlocky, bargain-bin gobbledegook à la the original Super Mario Bros.
