Fallout: top 2 on Prime Video
Hard not to mention fallout in the list of television series which are successful at the start of the year. The adaptation of this video game license produced by Prime Video in which Jonathan Nolan was involved multiplies the witnesses of its success. At the start of the week, it's media Variety which relays viewing figures for the 16 days following launch. According to its broadcaster, Fallout was seen by 65 million spectators. A colossal number which, again according to Amazon, has only been reached in one other production within the house: the Lord of the Rings : the Rings of Power''.
Let us first remember that their census method is not indicated here: how does Amazon count spectators? Do they have to have launched an episode to be considered as such? Have you seen an entire episode or the entire season? It is therefore difficult to make comparisons with series from other platforms.. Still, even without in-depth analysis, Fallout should be applauded for such a performance, which surpasses big names like The Boys.
A craze that mobilizes players on games
The most skeptical will point out that the quantity of spectators for a series does not make it a qualitative production. And they are legitimate to think so! However, it seems that a good portion of Prime Video subscribers who saw Fallout were won over. On the ratings aggregator RottenTomatoes, the series has an average score of 9/10. As for a more French-speaking audience (France, the United Kingdom and Brazil would have significantly contributed to the success of the series according to Amazon), it is the Allociné site which lists nearly 1,600 ratings for an average of 4.4 / 5.
A craze for the Fallout series which is not only measured by its spectators. The hype it caused generated waves of players on the license's video games. Several figures, once again, are proof of this. It was on social networks that the official Fallout page proudly announced having seen 5 million players on its titles. And it is notably the worst game in the series which managed to attract a million curious people to the Wasteland.
