This is higher than other famous shows that include ‘Bluey' which has achieved 1. 3.41 billion viewing minutes during the same period.
This series has received a lot of acclaim from know actors such as Walton Goggins, Ella Purnell, and Kyle MacLachlan, showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy who are behind the success of Westworld series and so much more. ‘Their approach to stream the entire season at once, instead of following the conventional weekly model must have indeed worked out for them as the audience has become glue to their screens, binge-watching ‘Fallout' like never before.
Some other shows which include ‘Baby Reindeer' and ‘Dead Boy Detectives' also had an interesting raw figure; they were viewed for 915 million and 633 million minutes respectively. However, none got in the ballpark of influence that ‘Fallout' delivered.
