Fallout, a TV adaptation of the popular post-apocalyptic video game series, was released on Amazon Prime this past April. Video game adaptations can be a bit of a mixed bag sometimes, but in this case, fans and critics alike (us included) loved its characters, world-building, and its overall take on the Fallout universe. It should come as no surprise, then, that the show has been nominated in numerous categories at the 2024 Emmy Awards.

Fallout was nominated in 16 categories, but two of them are particularly exciting. First, the show is one of eight nominees for Outstanding Drama Series, ranking it among other big shows of 2024, like Shōgun, which currently leads the pack with 25 nominations. Secondly, Walton Goggins was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series for his portrayal of The Ghoul. This is his second Emmy nomination – the first being for Supporting Actor on the show Justified back in 2011.

I really enjoyed it but fuck me, it's not The Wire, Rome or Deadwood.

It's a shame Resident Evil and Silent Hill movies cannot seem to get the memo...
Even Monster Hunter!

All they did was:

1 - Stick to the source material regarding story, setting and humor

2 - Don't turn the female lead into a boring, strong and independent Mary Sue

3 - Don't turn all male characters into mumbling idiots who need to be either corrected or saved by the female lead Mary Sue



Result:
- Worldwide acclaim by critics and audience
- Nominated for 16 awards


I did like the show but boy, the sheer amount of accolades it got really shows how low the bar is right now.
