Both seasons are in the top four of Prime Video’s most-watched series.
The series is based on the video game series of the same name. Fallout explores the dystopian society’s which have formed since a nuclear war devastated Earth two hundred years prior. Some have found prosperity and shelter in luxurious vaults that kept them safe from both the radiation and other people. Others have been forced to scrape by on what’s the brutal surface.
