Fallout (2024) : A Review of Sorts (No Spoilers)

I played the first Fallout game back in the day and loved it, so I was quietly looking forward to this adaptation of the game to telly. That said, I was also apprehensive.
Why?
Because the migration of successful game to television is often (at best) hit and miss, and more often than not a pretty awful miss. That said, I was intrigued by the pre-show advertising. The ghoul looked cool, the mechanised armour was 'Wow!', and the attention to detail around costume and scenery looked spot on. I also thought it was a good - perhaps brave - decision to cast a female lead rather than a Fallout Boy. It might work, but so too might it bring out the ire of gamers, the right wing, and misogynists quick to point out a huge deviation to the game; a bit like what happened to 'The Rings of Power'.
I needn't have worried. It was brilliant. Truly.
The storyline (which I will not enlighten on) was rounded and worked in keeping with the game. It was dark and funny, a shoutout to the clean innocence and cruelty of the 1950s with a soundtrack to die for, whilst at the same time making me squirm at the squeamish bits, of which there are many. And then there was the casting. They were all good, with an intertwined triptych of storylines to follow - past and present - but a real shoutout has to go out to the two lead roles of Lucy Maclean and Maximus played to perfection by Ella Purnell and Aaron Moten. They captured everything that was right about the game.
It was kitsch. Gruesome.
Scary.
Foreboding...
And genius.
If there's one show you watch for entertainment in 2024, a chance to switch off and enjoy the surreal, make it Fallout. It was brilliant. An easy double-thumbs up from me.
If there's a topic you'd like me to consider in a blog, a book you think I really need to read and review, or a TV Series you think I'd enjoy (and you'd like me to include it in my blog) drop me a line and let me know.
Finally.
If you do buy my books.
Thank you.
And let me know what you think.

Je fais souvent attention au cadre quand je choisis un endroit pour sortir, surtout à Marrakech où l’offre est assez large. En regardant https://lilybilly.ma, j’ai trouvé que le lieu avait une identité visuelle assez marquée, sans être trop chargée. Une fois sur place, j’ai retrouvé cette cohérence, notamment dans la décoration et l’agencement des espaces. Ce n’est pas un endroit qui cherche à impressionner, mais plutôt à créer une ambiance confortable. J’y suis allé en fin de matinée et j’ai apprécié le calme relatif, même avec du monde. C’est un bon compromis entre un lieu vivant et un espace où l’on peut rester concentré sur la discussion. Ça donne envie d’y retourner sans forcément chercher autre chose.
Using technology to increase access to youth mental health support may offer a practical way for young people to reach guidance, safe-spaces, and early help without feeling overwhelmed by traditional systems. Digital platforms, helplines, and apps could give them a chance to seek support privately, connect with trained listeners-orexplore resources that might ease their emotional load. This gentle shift toward tech-based support may encourage youth to open-up at their own pace, especially when in-person help feels too heavy to approach.
There is always a chance that these tools-quietly make support feel closer than before, creating moments where help appears just a tap away. Even a small digital interaction might bring a sense of comfort. And somewhere in that space, you…
