Amazon Prime Video viewers have cleared their weekend diaries to binge-watch new series Fallout.
The game adaptation, which follows survivors in a post-apocalyptic world, has won rave reviews from critics and fans alike.
Starring Yellowjackets actress Ella Purnell and Sex and the City’s Kyle MacLachlan, it has been branded the ‘best show of 2024.’
After devouring the first few episodes on the streaming platform today, viewers took to X to spread the word about Fallout.
Eddie Pernia raved: ‘The hype is real Fallout is by farrrr the best tv show of 2024 by faaaaarrr !!! That first episode was perfect #Fallout.’
Echoing Eddie’s sentiment Connor described Fallout as ‘near perfect’, indicating it will follow in the footsteps of fellow game adaptation and megahit, The Last of Us.
Conor continued: ‘No notes. The music is so on point. I’ve been smiling all the way though.’
X account Egyptianruin also commented: ‘I didn’t survive the temptation. It was amazing. I laughed, I cried, I laid my party plans to waste like a good wastelander. #Fallout #Sweepstakes #FalloutonPrime.’
Another X user Claytalian was already calling for a second season, describing Fallout as ‘incredible.’
They begged: ‘I hope they’ve already got season 2 written at least because I’d prefer not to have to wait 3 years to watch it. The acting was phenomenal. The vfx, both practical and cgi, were perfect. GIVE ME SEASON 2 NOW!!!!!!!’
Matt DeMino on X, meanwhile, said they had watched the first two episodes but had cleared their weekend to ‘binge’ the rest of the series.
Set 200 years after a nuclear bomb destroys the planet, Fallout follows Lucy (Ella Purnell) who lives in a vault underground, filled with dwellers desperately trying to cling to civilisation and polite society.
However, she must emerge from her shelter and return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind after her father Hank (Kyle MacLachlan) is kidnapped.
Kyle spoke to Metro.co.uk ahead of Fallout’s release and explained the relationship between Hank and Lucy drew him to the script.
‘You can see they’re really comfortable with each other; they really get along well and that was that was important,’ he said of their on-screen relationship.
‘I have a son who is 15, I understand the parent-child relationship, and how important that is, and I wanted to bring that kind of warmth.’
Fallout also features Justified actor Walton Goggins and Emancipation star Aaron Moten, while Christopher Nolan’s brother, Jonathan Nolan, is an executive producer.
Fallout is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
