Fallout (2024)
A Sci-Fi/Game Lover's Dream
Sometime a review boils down to a single word -
Hilarious
Gruesome
Emotional
Poignant
Authentic
Sometimes a plot synopsis boils down to a single chorus -
We three, we're all alone
Living in a memory
My Echo, My Shadow, and Me
But war -
war never changes.

As a Sci-Fi fan, this show brings an entirely new and interesting world into a vivid imagining. Competing factions with well-thought out motives and characters, in a bleak and oddly beautiful setting, coupled with a healthy dose of satire and you get a truly special show.
As an avid player of the games, this adaptation ticks all of my boxes and more, plus the ending really gets me excited for season 2.
If you like gritty sci-fi - watch it
If you like somehow campy but not campy sci-fi - watch it
If you like the games - watch it
If you like well written characters and can handle gore - watch it
Seriously, just watch it
Okey Dokey.
L'effondrement (2019)
Unsettling, Beautiful, Poignant anthology
From the first episode, the show captures the desperation of average people living in the hyper capitalistic world. People just want to continue to live their normal lives, but our normal lives have created a feedback cycle that will end in our self-destruction. There is no escape, and the unsettling feeling in the first episode carries through later heart wrenching stories of survival, desperation, and interspersed pockets of hope.
Highly recommend this show to anyone who has this feeling that modern society cannot continue down as we know it and to see what happens if we do. Just be prepared to be a bit uncomfortable, because the show feels real, and makes you question if you are doing enough to help prevent this type of situation from coming to fruition.
I loved the single take approach, it keeps the show personal further reinforces the hyper realism of the show. The single takes also feel more impactful as each episode reaches its conclusion.
Give it a try, if you can't find a place to stream it, google the name of the show in the subreddit collapse on reddit. That's where I found the subtitled episodes.
