I have enjoyed many of the, "Fallout," video-games and adored the first season of the show set in that Universe. The second season of the, "Fallout," show is running and the company that broadcasts/streams it has announced a new spin-off of sorts, "Fallout: Shelter." Not to be confused with the mobile video-game of the same name, where you build a Fallout-style Vault, this is set to be a reality show of all things.
The basic gist of, "Fallout: Shelter," is as bunch of people will be locked in a simulated Vault (like from the games/shows) and have to compete to show who is the most S.P.E.C.I.A.L., which are the stats from the games. It sounds a bit like, "Big Brother," with the social isolation element, but themed for, "Fallout." I enjoy both, "Big Brother," and, "Fallout," so I'm willing to give it a chance. I would hope the show leans into the plot point both the games and show touched upon, where the Vaults generally were not a safe place, but self-contained experiments where terrible things happened in some vaults and others chugged along mostly happy. That would be a twist that the contestants are in a, "Bad," Vault, and it goes to show how weird it is that we take shows all about the downfall of society (like, "Squid Game,") and make competition shows out of them.
