RPS verdict: The Fallout TV Show season 2

What’s Happening

Okay so The second series of Amazon s Fallout adaptation has now fully emerged from the vault, its eight episodes having been plinked out gradually, rather than whipped out in one fell swoop.

• I liked the delivery of “She s Canadian!
• I liked how some of the individual storylines finally went somewhere after those first few, flailing episodes.
