The familiar brokenness of a world was showcased in a new light.

"Illuminating but horrifying": Walton Goggins Struggled to Watch 1 Part of the Fallout Show

Fallout’s TV show adaptation on Prime Video is nothing short of post-apocalyptic elegance. Within a short time, the show manages to adapt to the game’s dystopian setting while keeping its charm in safe hands. As the rule of thumb goes, great TV shows or movie adaptations of video games need to keep the source material in check, and the show has done that.

Even with its creative freedom, the show explores how the Great War is portrayed before viewers dive straight into a world gamers are familiar with.

 

Exploring Fallout’s Past in a Tragic and Unfamiliar Way

The opening itself is nothing short of mesmerizing.

In an interview, Bethesda’s Todd Howard spoke a lot about the psychological states of the showmakers when Fallout was filmed. While the show has been faithfully true to the games, there are instances in the show that give viewers a deeper look at how things came to be.

The first seven minutes of the show take audiences on a whirlwind of different emotions; a seemingly peaceful community that is mindfully unaware of the disaster that’s about to strike them makes for an eye-catching opening.

Walton Goggins, who plays Cooper Howard, had many moments of introspection and awe-inspiring revelations:

Watching the show’s first seven minutes with an audience was illuminating but horrifying. Any version of trauma, at any level, is tough to see, but I was so surprised by the finished product and seeing how emotional everyone, who I watched it with, was. I think that’s when the show is at its best – it’s funny, but there are real consequences for the people involved.

Given the show’s dark yet humorous themes, it’s going to be one roller coaster ride for viewers who simply aren’t familiar with the world of Fallout.

Fallout’s Setting Explores the Source Material Further

New faces and stories still remain true to the games' original world.

In the show, there’s a big reference to a lot of events that take place in the games. The franchise itself is set during a time that came hundreds of years after the unfortunate Great War. Billions died, leaving a broken world where humanity is trying to find its footing again.

Even though there are familiar faces to be found in the adaptation, the introduction of new stories and characters gives the show a creative touch. Todd Howard also brought to light the importance of the source material and how insightful it has been to capture the game’s essence in the show.

Maybe you’re stepping into the games for the first time, trying to re-live the show in the game. Or, if you’re going into the show with certain expectations, it’s likely going to be a fun time for everyone involved.
