I'm a big Nolan fan, he brought us the Dark Knight trilogy, Tenet and Westworld. As an avid gamer, I am often off-put by gaming remakes, the last of us is a post-apocalyptic series that made me quit at episode three, to defect to the game in order not to spoil the story, for me the last of us ruined the story to a game I have been invested in longer.

"This immaculately made, supremely witty post-apocalyptic drama is yet another brilliant video game adaptation. It’s funny, self-aware and tense – an astonishing balancing act" - www.theguardian.com

The Fallout series had me invested, and not as a gamer, the multi-faceted story telling has you hooked to the very end, and it doesn't spoil the game one bit, you are invested in the characters and not just the story.

The casting of Ella Purnell is such a fantastic choice, especially in contrast to Bella Ramsey whom from her stint as the worst witch, says the f word so many times in the last of us, she could easily be confused for Gordon Ramsey's daughter.

Fallout starts inside of a VaultTec vault, and a seemingly naive Lucy Maclean soon finds her feet to become a perfect protagonist.

Nolan once again delivers multiple timelines in harmony, as he does in Westworld, and although this isn't a tenet, you won't have the full story till the very end.

"Sold my vocal rights to that spinning robot they sell to housewives and perverts."

The Matt Berry Mr Handy combo is just divine and many old school geeks and tv lovers will remember him as Douglas Reynholm the loveable yet unrelatable boss from the IT Crowd, this for me was a perfect casting of slapstick humour and deep geeky knowledge.

The two main protagonists are akin to that of a Rey and Finn, and I don't think this was accidental, this is a true geek exposing his true genius.

There is the slowly evolving emotional rollercoaster of right-wrong, delivered as two protagonists are clearly going through personal growth, something which is perfectly articulated on screen. The effects don't over power the story, and as always, there is the dubious corporation at play.

In an interview with CBR, Fallout actor Kyle MacLachlan drops hints about Hank MacLean and compares the TV series to his experiences with David Lynch.

Kyle MacLachlan returns, and I hope this is in homage to the twin peaks, another disturbing, deep, thought provoking series that I do believe is a head nod from Nolan. Fallout was created by an intelligent lover of gaming, sci-fi and the complexity of the human kind, and it shows. Anyone who has watched Westworld will also relate Walton Goggins to the Man in black, and negatively I do feel his character is very much a cut-and-paste, to forgive the techie pun. However once again the character works, and really does help Lucy become the protagonist she deserves to be.

"War never changes"

This series has it all, adult scenes, deep thoughtful geeky references, it keeps the game's themes at the core of it's scenery, and touches deep on human bonding and the complexity of human survival.

In summary, this isn't really a game-as-a-film type gig, it's another Nolan epic, with human complexity, multi linear story telling, multi-faceted humour, thought provoking concepts, and genuine bonding with characters, it explores the grey area of humanity, wrapped in the back drop of a post apocalyptic game.
