Update: the offending recap has now been pulled from Prime Video. War never changes, but the fortunes of poorly assembled recaps quickly can.
Want to catch up on all things in the wasteland before Fallout season 2 hits our screens? It might be a good idea to steer clear of Prime Video's official Fallout season 1 recap.
As mentioned by viewers on Reddit and Twitter – and independently verified by GamesRadar+ – the 'recap' video on Prime Video's Fallout season 2 page includes an AI voiceover, as well as getting key details about the post-apocalyptic show wrong.
Among the Fallout faux pas is the incorrect assumption that Cooper Howard's flashback scenes are set in the 1950s (the retro-futuristic aesthetic may fool some, but it's actually set in 2077).
Fallout on Prime added a season 1 recap but don’t bother watching it, it’s AI slop that gets several details wrong like the flashbacks being set in the 1950s and “Cooper offers Lucy a choice in the finale: die, or join him” phrased as if he’d be the one to kill her 😭 pic.twitter.com/zHLvN988w5November 24, 2025
Worse, The Ghoul's offer in the Fallout season 1 ending for Lucy (Ella Purnell) is framed as a 'join or die' situation, instead of a chance for them both to find the man "behind the wheel" in New Vegas.
Our advice? Quickly binge Fallout season 1 yourself if you can. It's free for those who own a Samsung smart TV.
Thankfully, Fallout season 2 (much like its predecessor) is priding itself on its practicality, right down to hulking New Vegas sets as the wasteland's heroes and villains make their way onto the Strip.
Speaking to GamesRadar+, Bethesda director Todd Howard has opened up more about the creative team's approach to returning to the location from 2010's Fallout: New Vegas.
"It's going back to authenticity," Howard said. "What would we want to see as a fan? Make it as authentic as possible and come at it with a lot of thought, a lot of love, but also take some swings."
Despite that, Fallout season 2 will not commit to making any New Vegas ending canon, so as not to invalidate any player's experiences (we're looking at those of you who decided to side with the NCR).
Fallout season 2 premieres on December 17. For more, check out the Fallout season 2 timeline and our ranking of the best Fallout games.
