Fallout: Season One is available on Blu-ray now! That Hashtag Show was lucky enough to review the new collection on Blu-ray and 4K UltraHD. Fallout: Season One is a handsome set, especially the steelbook edition. There’s been a lot of care in the design of this release, Amazon’s exclusive 4K UHD Steelbook comes with six collectible art cards and plenty of extras on the discs themselves.
Ella Purnell aced her first appearance in Fallout with flying colors. As fans wait for more in Season 2, they can revisit all the highs of Fallout: Season One with this massive collection. Yes, there’s only eight episodes of this show, but the extras are absolutely nothing to sneeze at from where we’re sitting. Yes, there’s the standard commentaries, but the 4K UHD Steelbook might as well be its own documentary about the making of Fallout for Prime Video in general. If you love the series, it’s an easy recommendation for everyone out there who might be on the fence about the video game adaptation.
Fallout: Season One’s 4K UHD Steelbook is the ultimate collector’s piece for the show
The physical release of Fallout Season One had so many extras going on with it. There are VFX team breakdowns that chronicle how they brought the Wasteland to life. There’s even a timeline of Prime Video’s team deciding to make one of the most popular video game franchises into a show as well. Expect to see Walton Goggins a ton on the physical release of Fallout Season One. After all, he plays not one but two essential characters in this group of episodes. (We honestly could stand even more of The Ghoul and Cooper Howard!)
Director’s commentaries are basically a must when it comes to a home video release like this. The Blu-ray is packed to the brim with new details that offer a new perspective on Fallout Season One. Jonathan Nolan helps guide fans through a ton of material for this collection of episodes. Decisions like the hair, makeup, and prosthetics all take a lot of thought with a property so beloved by players out there. Costume designer Amy Westcott also gets a chance to shine with those iconic looks that fans have been waiting ages to see rendered on screen.
Showrunners Geneva Robertson Dworet and Graham Wagner really found a way to render the Fallout world for TV, and the tone is universally agreed on as unique among this period of gaming series on TV. Prime Video’s first season was such a banger, that you’ll probably get the people who bought this first collection coming back for Season Two.
What Is Season One About?
“Based on one of the greatest video games of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. Two-hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind—and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.”
