‘Fallout’ thoughts, Season 2, Episode 3: ‘The Profligate’

Man, Fallout is a killer show. I don’t know what else to say! When I press play on any given episode, I sit back secure in the knowledge that everything I see will be entertaining. Some of it will be funny in a nice way. Some of it will be funny in an extremely nasty way. There will be violence that makes you go “fuck yeah!” and violence that makes you go “oh fuck.” Practical effects and physical sets will prevail over CGI sludge. A bunch of actors you like — Macaulay Culkin! Jon Gries! Kumail Nanjiani! — will show up and do something rad or weird or awful or hilarious. Corporations and capitalism will be dragged in a way that would shock the non-existent conscience of Amazon overlord and Trump crony Jeff Bezos, our era’s answer to Robert House. (I know people will think Elon, but it’s always the quiet ones.) All on Amazon’s dime! Fallout has the giddy feeling of people getting away with something, and it’s infectious as fuck.

I reviewed this week’s Fallout for Decider.
