Fallout (2024)

Series · Rated TV-MA

Action, Adventure, Drama, Fantasy, Sci-Fi

Survivors navigate a surreal, violent, and darkly comic wasteland where haves and have-nots clash.

Pulpy, with absurdist humor. A late-night trip at a brisk pace. Emotionally it is heavy.

How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.

Three questions

Is Fallout scary?
Only a little. Fallout has a few tense moments, nothing that follows you to bed.
How gory is Fallout?
Graphic gore and brutal violence. If graphic gore is a dealbreaker, skip it.
What is Fallout rated, and is it OK for kids?
Rated TV-MA, and it earns it: moderate sex and nudity, brutal violence, and frequent strong language. Not one for kids.

What is Fallout about?

The story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there's almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.

Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)

It leaves the ending open to interpretation.
