"Years often go by between new seasons of big streaming shows - just ask fans of or Stranger Things - but with Fallout the wait hasn't been so bad. The first season was a welcome surprise when it started streaming last April, managing to capture the series' distinctly playful take on the end of the world in a live-action show. And now we have season 2 a little over a year later."
"One of the big changes this season is that Fallout expands its scope. The story is bigger and more complex; in addition to the fates of the three main characters, the show also explores a number of large-scale conflicts in the wasteland, along with the history of how the world came to be this desolate place to begin with. The complexity means things are a little more serious (and less fun) than season 1,"
"Just off the top of my head - and to be very clear, spoilers for episode 1 follow here - I'm wondering: After being trapped by a brain-powered robot, Norm (Moisés Arias) takes drastic measures and begins the process of thawing a bunch of Vault-Tec managers who, I assume, he hopes can help him escape. But then what? I'm not sure Norm really has an idea at this point. "Plans are hard," he says. "Chaos is easy.""
Season 2 of Fallout expands scope, presenting a larger, more complex narrative that explores large-scale conflicts across the wasteland and the history of how the world became desolate. The increased complexity shifts the show's tone toward seriousness and reduces some of the playful elements present in season 1. Episode 1 introduces several theory-generating developments: Norm, trapped by a brain-powered robot, begins thawing Vault-Tec managers in hopes they can help him escape, admitting 'Plans are hard. Chaos is easy.' By the episode's end, Hank appears poised to retreat to Vault-Tec headquarters to perfect a technology, setting up future conflicts and mysteries.
