QUENTIN

I’ve long thought that some shows are better for binge-watching while others are better for a week-to-week experience. Fallout’s second season, which adopts a weekly release model after Season One dropped at once, may prove my theory. While the world-building is still creative and Walton Goggins continues to electrify as The Ghoul, none of the way-too-many subplots resonate because so little time is spent with them on a weekly basis. Since those storylines are so poorly developed, leading to substantial pacing issues, I struggled to return every week. In a binge, that’s likely not an issue; however, as delivered, Fallout: Season Two is a massive disappointment.
