Based on the novels by author Hugh Howey, Silo is off to an intriguing start. Yet the question remains, will Silo amount to anything meaningful? After two episodes, that raise more questions than they answer, its hard to tell. So far, what can be clearly enunciated is a quality back story. A story that's akin to Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, with a dystopian, almost cyber punk setting, in an underground, end of the world, style bunker. A strong cast back up, the so far, elaborate story and setting. Like the story itself, the characterisations have a subdued quality about them. This is due to this underground societies desire to keep hidden its past, rather than see it revealed. Finding out too much, can have fatal consequences. In summary, intriguing, creative and if not entirely original, certainly a clever variation, on a theme. It will be interesting to see if the writers…
Simply great storytelling. And though the visuals quickly get repetitive due to the setting, it's great to see. Giving it a 10 for now, and unless the final few episodes are horrible, I won't be changing my rating to anything less than a 9.
**Silo** is a gripping dystopian thriller that follows humanity's last survivors in a massive underground bunker, where strict rules dictate their lives. **Rebecca Ferguson shines** as Juliette, a mechanic determined to uncover the **secrets of the Silo**, leading viewers on a suspenseful journey filled with unexpected twists and dark revelations. The show’s **haunting visuals** and slow-burn mystery keep you on the edge of your seat, and with **Season 2 set to premiere on November 15, 2024**, fans are eagerly anticipating the next chapter. Perfect for anyone who loves **thought-provoking sci-fi with a thrilling edge.**
Excellent Fallout fan fiction of what life would be like inside a vault. Focuses on grim drama and semi-realism over humor and irony, which is a shift in perspective from the Fallout games that shows how versatile that universe really is. I understand the author of the Wool-series that Silo is based on has to deny any relationship to Fallout for copyright reasons. (Though he wink-wink admitted he played the first two games.) If you have played the games, you will find the parallels far outnumber the divergences.
First of all, let me tell you that this show is based on a book. So, kudos and all praise to the author of the book for such an amazing story. Now, about show... Show itself isn't bad. It's interesting, but sadly it's infected with DEI woke propaganda. Watching the show you would have an illusion that 80% of people are black and people of color, which we already know isn't true and they're minority. Secondly, literally every couple in this show are mixed or non-white. It's very clear that show has discriminating DEI policies. And of course there's a gender propaganda as well to deliver us a full menu as always. There's a one scene when an old white lady (who is lesbian according the show and was married to another woman) is kissing the lips of some old black lady. This is so disgusting... That actress is 74 years old and those bastards asked her to do this crap in show. Probably she does…
The TV program is probably stronger than book 1. but book 2 really put a very good back story in place and we see the opener for that at the end of season 2. It's clever and I belive sad at the same time. I hope that we can get to the end of book 3 in the TV show. Overal I think the TV show has to date taken a good story and merged some elemnts to make it better. Well worth the time to invest and watch. Stay tuned, and keep on sailing!
It's hilarious to me that in 2026 AppleTV is still trying to convince people that the rapper 'common' is an actor. He's as sharp as an iron ball and the lines they give him to say are hilarious, mainly because he's obviously such a low IQ person. But hey it's apple tv where they love to feature 'Actors of Low IQ', thanks to their skin color, definitely not hiring on acting ability.
Whomever cast Common in this series needs to be fired. Alongside the rapper Common. He's just fuckin terrible. On the bright side, there's a lot of great cast members who keep this show worth watching.
