Most filmmakers are lucky if they make one masterpiece in their lifetime – Park Chan-wook can’t seem to stop doing it.

Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for Fallout Season 2, Episode 5.Fallout fans generally agree that Prime Video’s series is a worthy entry in the franchise, but this week’s episode, “The Wrangler,” raises the bar by introducing a scathing new mystery for lore-obsessed fans.
