My only fear really is Nolan tends to get a bit carried away with trying to make everything too clever, Westworld started so strong with an incredible cast but by some point I didn't really know what the fuck was going on anymore, it got so confusing and the endings were weak. Nolan makes good shows but he needs someone to rein him in. Might not be a problem though, Nolan isn't the writer or showrunner of the show, he only directed a few episodes and Fallout is more straightforward than Westworld. |
Yeah, I’ve heard most people stopped liking Westworld during the second season - and IMO, that’s where the worst part happened (the Samurai stuff) which was just a really long way of saying “there’s more stuff here, and we reuse a lot of story.” as it didn’t really go anywhere else. Otherwise, I’m in that niche minority that enjoyed it (with a few exceptions) all the way through. Westworld did change shape each season, and grew in scope - and some of those changes weren’t popular; most people prefer consistency between seasons. I think most people agree on the greatness of the first season, though.
That said, just based on the fact that Fallout is a far lighter series than westworld, I’d say the story is going to be simplistic. It’s multi-threaded, but the storytelling is very basic/formulaic so far - and I don’t mean that as a criticism, as a lot of good shows and films have highly formulaic plots. I think complex storytelling works a lot better in books and videogames.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
