Amazon’s Fallout series is finally streaming on Prime Video, with fans hailing it as 'on par with The Last of Us' and 'one of the best video-game adaptations' ever. The hotly anticipated series is a live-action adaptation of the hit video game franchise of the same name and is available to watch free with an Amazon Prime 30-day trial.

From Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy and video game publisher Bethesda, Fallout follows a new and original story set in the world of the games.
