"Fallout": In the apocalypse there is little water, but a lot of fake blood

OK, let’s go, says Lucy MacLean, proud resident of Vault 33, and marches off with a smile. It doesn’t matter whether she’s kissing her husband, who she’s only known for a few hours, on her wedding night, setting off on a rescue mission through a radioactive desert, or having to force herself to cut off a bespectacled man’s head with a mini chainsaw. Lucy remains optimistic. OK, let’s go.

Lucy is one of the three main characters in Fallout , a series that will be broadcast on Amazon Prime from Thursday. It is a film adaptation of the game series of the same name – and that may make you skeptical. Video game adaptations have rarely been cinematic masterpieces, often more like fireworks of embarrassment. However, last year’s Super Mario Bros. film and even more so the series of The Last of Us showed how well games can be adapted.
