This review contains spoilers for Fallout Season 2, Episode 3, “The Profligate,” which is available to stream now on Prime Video.
Civil wars are erupting all over the wasteland in Fallout Season 2’s third chapter, and in the middle of it all are two men making hugely important decisions that will shape their destinies. While it’s a shame that Lucy had to be put in crucifixion time-out for most of this episode, and Robert House’s not-so-mysterious identity continues to be a sticking point, this is an otherwise fantastic, character-driven episode that thrives on bringing important elements from the New Vegas video game into the spotlight. It’s packed with so much good stuff that I didn’t even get to mention Victor the Securitron’s guest appearance, but I’m sure you’re as pleased as me that he’s still rolling around the Mojave.
