Fallout S2 — 2.5/5

The beginning of the season, I was struggling to remember the plot of S1, where we were, why we were. I kept going and new characters popped up and I didn't really know why, new greater enemies just around the corner, a wider world just out of view. By the season finale, the ending of one mystery was just the beginning of another, the show stuck in a perpetual second act, new reasons to put this character here and this character there so that they can meet back up at this third place to go this other place entirely. But it was fun enough to watch? My absolute favorite aspect of this show is its casting, Ella Purnell and Justin Theroux at the center of that. Big eyes and moustache twirls. The promise of the show is a profound mix of silly people in serious times, but it's only really successful in the art direction.
