Jack King New York Magazine/Vulture Jan 14
4/5
Not only was this a wildly entertaining episode in which a lot of sh*t went down, but it’s hard to think of another — save for the season-one finale, perhaps — that has been more consequential for the series at large. Go to Full Review William Hughes AV Club Jan 14

All of the things that are always good about Fallout make a strong showing here, of course, as it pivots between absurdity and heartbreak, letting its Wasteland weirdos shine even as its core characters show off their fractured humanity. Go to Full Review Ross Bonaime Collider Jan 20
8/10
We knew getting to Las Vegas was going to be wild, but "The Wrangler" truly shows just how much it's going to test our characters going forward. Go to Full Review Tori Preston Pajiba Jan 17
De-aged Flashback Kyle MacLachlan looks legit. None of that uncanny valley smoothness to this young buck, no sir! Go to Full Review Alexandria Ingham TV Fanatic Jan 14
4.5/5
After spending an episode catching up with all the locations, Fallout Season 2 Episode 5 kept things contained. Go to Full Review Chris Gallardo Tell-Tale TV Jan 14
4.25/5
This episode not only leaves the right amount of emotional baggage to carry forward, but also puts more narrative suspicion on what’s really going on. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
