The best new show to hit Amazon Prime Video in a while has arrived with perfect scores from critics, but it may not be for everyone, given its subject matter.

Stepping out of the shadows of its video game foundation, the “Fallout” series has made an explosive impact on Prime Video, unfolding a narrative two centuries post-nuclear calamity. The story chronicles the lives of individuals emerging from the opulence of their underground shelters only to be confronted with the grim reality of their forebears’ world.

"Fallout" has exploded as Prime Video's most-watched title globally within the first 16 days since its release.
