"There's been a clear shift over Fallout's second season. While the show started out as a relatively goofy introduction to the postapocalyptic wasteland, one that nailed the vibes of the games perfectly, season 2 has been intent on making the world even bigger. And nowhere was that more clear than in the season finale, in which a number of story threads and characters raced toward what seemed to be some kind of conclusion."
"While much of this season could be described as plodding, the pace picked up significantly toward the end. And there's a whole bunch of stuff to keep track of: the bloodthirsty Legion appear to have settled their civil war and are now marching to New Vegas; Lucy (Ella Purnell) is trying to stop her father, Hank (Kyle MacLachlan), from using a mind-control device to bring some semblance of peace to the wasteland;"
Season 2 shifts from a relatively goofy, game-faithful introduction to a broader, more ambitious expansion of the postapocalyptic world. The pace accelerates toward the finale as multiple plotlines converge without delivering firm resolutions. The Legion appears to have ended its civil war and is marching on New Vegas. Lucy attempts to stop her father Hank from deploying a mind-control device intended to impose peace. Maximus fights Deathclaws to protect the Strip, and the Ghoul nears a reunion with missing family. The finale emphasizes escalating conflicts and larger stakes while leaving several important questions unanswered.
