Based on a popular video game, Fallout on AMAZON PRIME Video is a wacky series about post-nuclear holocaust America (you can read my review of Season One here). In Season Two, the odd couple team-up between Lucy (Ella Purnell) and the Ghoul (Walton Goggins) continues as they pursue the discredited Hank (Kyle MacLachlan), last seen heading toward Vegas in chunky power armor to enact some awful, unspecified scheme.
“Future episodes see attention-grabbing guest roles for Kumail Nanjiani and Macaulay Culkin; Nanjiani, in particular, seems to relish the chance to play a cocky heavy. But the most notable addition to the cast is Justin Theroux as the immaculately mustachioed Robert House, a reclusive Howard Hughes-esque founder of a robotics empire and would-be shaper of the future.”
Fallout, Season 2 will have eight episodes, with one episode released each week from December 16, 2025, through the finale on February 4, 2026. Mildly entertaining!
A post-nuclear holocaust America can’t be much worse than today’s MAGA nightmare. Might even be an improvement.
I don’t suppose Hollywood will ever impose a moratorium on movies “inspired” by video games.
Fred, FALLOUT has some quirky aspects that both delight…and horrify me!
I particularly liked Purnell in the first series, and of course, Goggins is always good. We’re waiting for most of the episodes to be released before starting series two.
Jeff, I might just watch FALLOUT as soon as each episode drops. AMAZON PRIME Video is inconsistent on making some or all the episodes available. Their series, YOUNG SHERLOCK, shows up in March 2026 with all 8 episodes available.
That Brandon Sanderson collection just came in from the Cloud Library.
Jeff, it seems like a Brandon Sanderson book gets published every other month!
Thanks. I hadn’t heard of this. I still don’t have prime or Netflix, but Larry does, so I I’ll see if he’s interested, and can be dragged away from soccer ( a useless sport in my opinion).
One show I really enjoy is High Potential. Surprisingly I don’t care for Watson and gave up after the first season
Happy Holidays
Maggie, we love HIGH POTENTIAL, too! I’m with you on soccer…it’s like watching paint dry.
Again, you’re in a galaxy far, far away from mine! Guess I’ll stick with Leave It to Beaver reruns!
Bob, just imagine Beaver and Wally in a Post-apocalyptic hellscape. That’s FALLOUT.
