Prime Video Repeated Netflix’s Biggest Mistake With Fallout’s Release Strategy

Summary:

• Prime Video ’s brand new show Fallout based on the game franchise of the same name has been ruling over the streaming for a week now as all of the series’ episodes were released at once on April 10.
• Despite the show’s immense success a week after it officially came out, it could’ve been doing even better if it had been for a different release model.
• Fallout’s complex storylines and plot twists, as well as the show’s pivotal intrigues, could have had a more agitating reaction from the audience.

It’s been only a week since all the episodes of the brand new post-apocalyptic show Fallout dropped on Prime Video, but everyone’s reaction has been insane ever since the first day.

Based on the famous game franchise of the same name, the series, despite its relatively short run on the streaming so far, has received numerous accolades from both critics and viewers — and though everything seems to be in Fallout’s favor, the show’s immense success could’ve reached even higher levels if it had been for a different release model.

Ahead of Fallout’s release, Prime Video opted for dropping all eight episodes at once for the viewers to relish the highly anticipated show the way that they want for themselves, but turns out that weekly release would be a much saner decision for several reasons.

Given that the brand new series is based on a game with numerous characters and various storylines that lead to different plot twists, it may come as something really hard to keep up with for those who never got to play the original game or just wasn’t too much into it.

Despite the fact that every viewer starts the show from the same point that later on develops into a detailed explanation of the way that things turned out, it’s still a lot to embrace within only eight episodes and thus may seem overwhelming for those who are not that familiar with the story.

Another reasonable argument in the weekly release’ favor is that, by dropping the finale that soon, the show ruined a bombshell revelation that could’ve held many viewers on the edge of their seats right up till the ending.

The truth about Hank MacLean’s role in the overall destruction of the United States would have had a jaw-dropping reaction among many viewers if they had had more time to mull over Lucy’s intention to find her father.

This comes as a simple fact as many already know how much binge-watching can dull the sensations (hi, Netflix fans!).

Great success anyway, Fallout is still far from losing most of its fans out of the sight — after all, the game connoisseurs remain positive anyway.
