In this context, many people have lived for many years, for entire generations, inside “vaults” built underground; while others remained on the surface living among radioactive water, scarce food and using carbonated drink bottle caps as currency.
The TV series is based on the video game series of the same name, born in 1997 and now managed by Bethesda (part of Microsoft since 2020). Fallout is set in a post-apocalyptic future, hundreds of years from the present day, after the outbreak of some nuclear weapons.
It fuses the imagery of the post-war 1950s with technological advances: domestic robots, futuristic gadgets and much more modern tools than those that actually existed in the 1950s.
In particular, the series impressed for its ability to remain faithful to the videogame material, without distorting it but at the same time proposing a completely original story. Capable, therefore, of being very usable even by those who have never played video games.
Indeed, the debut of the series had a very positive effect on sales. In the week following its debut, Fallout 4, which was released in 2015, was the best-selling video game in Europe, and the numbers for the online video game Fallout 76 (2018) are also the best ever.
