Nolan and Lisa Joy, the married Hollywood power couple who co-created HBO’s Westworld, were signed on as executive producers for Fallout. More importantly, Nolan personally directed the show’s first three episodes, setting the tone for everything that followed. So it makes sense that Fallout’s first season resembles Westworld’s in the best way possible. Both debut seasons are tightly wound mysteries propelled by a handful of disparate characters moving in lockstep toward a mind-blowing revelation. And in both cases, it largely worked. However, by that same logic, we probably should have expected Fallout season 2 to take a step in the wrong direction in the exact same way Westworld did. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened.
