If that is the case you may be disappointed in the TV series.

It doesn't really follow any of the games and it leaves you with more questions than answers.
Not just my opinion but many others who have also watched it. A lot of OSINT accounts made remarks about it a couple days ago when it first released. They all said it didn't follow any of the games.
I'm going to say what I know we all want and what we're all thinking. They need to make a movie about Fallout New Vegas!
But Bethesda has a grudge or doesn't like Fallout Vegas.

Just got finished watching this again. It's been a while since I last watched it and I forgot how good it is. Very sad and very powerful. IMO
I’m very partial to the “On the Beach” movie especially the black and white one. If we were voting this would get my vote!
The premise of the movie is nonsense. But if you ignore that, it is a good movie with impending doom.
Yes it is, however with the “impending doom” you can feel every second spent like an hard earned currency! I truly enjoyed it!

Yeah, I know it's not realistic. Still enjoyed it though. Defiantly not a B movie. I just ran across it on prime. Saw it before but it's been a while.

Obviously not a movie that actually deals with nuclear war per say, but the Seventh Seal is a good movie about how society literally dies.

Yep. It's more philosophical about it, but apart from the medeival setting I think it can be applied to modern society as well.

A new nuclear war movie I stumbled across: "Sunset."
It's a tad slow and the acting isn't top notch, but what I liked about it was how it portrayed the inevitability of the events that take place and how civilians with no control over them react. Everyone knows what's going to happen, but no one can stop it. I think it's an accurate representation of how a single nuclear terrorist attack could escalate into a global exchange.

I'll have to give this a watch

I gave it a watch today.
It certainly does contrast some of the banal mundaneness of day-to-day life against the backdrop of an unfolding crisis, and it gives the audience some idea of how people will deal with such events. I started picking it apart (like I do most movies) but I'll save that for another day.
I've seen the actor who played Julian (Austin Pendleton) in other movies and programs. Specifically, I remembered him playing a character named "Mr. Entertainment" in St. Elsewhere. He's been in many other shows too.

I heard a quote today from a contemporary to the lead up to the American Civil War. Right up to the election of Lincoln the belief or acceptance that the US was on the verge of Secession of several states and civil war was simply not even seen as conceivable.
It took everyone by surprise, both sides.
I’m not interjecting this to change the threads topic. What I see as the single greatest threat to ANY future major conflict. Be it WW3, major regional war, or some sort of civil war.
It is the reality that most of us, me included, cannot fathom how technologies, events, people group migrations can be so utterly unpredictable.
Teekay remark about people going about the banal Mundaneness of their lives struck me.
Even most of us here who follow this stuff “fairly” regularly are also stuck in our own pre-conceived notions, our “banal misconception's” of how things will or should play out or what the next big blow up will be.
Most of histories progressions with incremental changes and adjustments.
But periodically it is punctuated with events and periods of monumental change and disruption.
What might or might not trigger catastrophe is likely not even on our radar.
So keep your big boy pants on and always watch your top knot.
That translates in the modern vernacular to “don’t shit your pants nor lose your head”
Because none of us can foresee what is over the horizon of tomorrow.

My own family thought I was being dramatic when I told them how disruptive a pandemic would be. They simply refused to believe that the "big one" was coming, and laughed at me when I told them that hundreds of thousands of people, perhaps even in the low millions, would die in the United States alone. This was back in February 2020.
One thing that I have learned throughout my career is that we are never truly prepared for a disaster to strike. We learn some lessons from a previous disaster, but usually improvise to each unique situation. It is a failure of imagination, even among the highest levels of government, that prevents us from truly grasping the magnitude of a disaster until it is too late.
