Silo

Silo has already been renewed for another two seasons so I'm looking forward to seeing where this show goes. It's suppose to end with season 4 so it will have a proper ending and won't end on a cliffhanger like so many other shows. This show really is every bit as good as everyone says it is. It currently has a 87% on Rotten Tomatoes and an 8.2 here so it's liked by both critics and the audience. It has those great scores for a reason. This is definitely one of the best new shows of the last few years. The seasons may start a little slow for some, not me, but the tension continues to build and build until the last few episodes are can't miss. It takes place in a dystopian future where everyone lives in a huge silo hundreds of stories underground. They live there with a bunch of rules that they all believe are in place to protect them. It has a star studded cast led by Rebecca Ferguson and supported by Tim Robbins, Shane McRae, Will Patton, Common, Iain Glen, David Oyelowo, Rashida Jones, and more. With that cast, the great writing and great visuals this is a cant miss thriller.

The show is good but I haven't read the books. However the cliffhangers are really overkill with season 2 especially you wait the whole season for something to happen. Then it does, and the season ends.

I reminds me of Fallout and is kinda on the same feel except for the early 1900's design as this is more bleak and dark, and there's no funny quips. The concept seems to be the same so far. It's not a bad show just won't be watching it again until I know there's some sort of ending because the current way they're pacing it is overkill and really defeats the show. I ended up fast forwarding it a lot to get through repetitive dialog.

There are plenty of post apocalyptic series to choose from but Silo is among the better ones to come out in some time. I never read the books (or even heard of them) but I've still been looking forward to this ever since I first heard about it and then my expectations grew even more after watching the trailers. Well, I can tell you that without a doubt this show has not only met those expectations but surpassed them in every way. This is probably best binged watched because of all the great cliffhangers it's hard to wait a week to see what happens next. This has so many great twists and turns it will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout each episode. I'm glad this got renewed so quickly because this is a show that can stay exciting for at least a few more seasons. I also hate getting invested in a show for said show to get canceled without a proper ending. This will have that.

I have just started watching this show. Something has stood out from the beginning. The sound of the actors' voices is very clear. My compliments to the sound people, this is a small miracle.

I very frequently struggle to hear what actors are saying in shows and films. Perhaps it's something to do with the acoustics of a silo? But I think not, I believe it is down to some very good work by the movie sound people who record and edit the voices of the actors. It is rare to hear the voices of actors with such delightful clarity.

It is almost like hearing the voices of actors in the theatre, it is so good.

I am several episodes in now and I am enjoying the acting and the story. There are good characters well portrayed and something is gradually being unravelled with regard to the history and operational details of the silo. I am not sure where it is all leading yet, but it is certainly keeping me engaged.

I have now completed series one. I really enjoyed it. There is a significant element of the ending that is identical to a reveal that happens in a film. To avoid spoilers I won't say the name of the film, but I'm sure that others know the one that I mean if they have seen it. This did not detract from my enjoyment of Silo and I'm not sure who came up with the idea first in any event as I don't know when the book that Silo was based on was written.

I've been hooked on Silo from the very beginning. The world-building, the mystery, the constant sense of dread-it's exactly the kind of show that keeps me coming back for more. I couldn't wait for each new episode, always eager to see what secrets would be uncovered next. But season 2? Well... let's just say it took its sweet time getting anywhere.

The pacing this season was slow. Painfully slow at times. It felt like they dragged things out just to dump everything in the last episode, and while I love a good finale, it shouldn't have to carry an entire season on its back. And speaking of the ending... yeah, not great. It left me with more questions than answers, and not in a good "ooh, I can't wait to find out more" way-more like a "wait, that's it?" kind of way.

One thing Silo does really well, though, is making characters feel genuinely intimidating. I lost count of how many times I thought, "Yeah, I wouldn't last a day in this place." But while some actors absolutely nailed their roles, others... not so much. There were a few performances that felt flat or just didn't match the intensity of the story.

Even with its flaws, I'm still excited for the next season. Hopefully, we'll finally get some real answers about the history of the Silo and what's really going on. Just... maybe let's not cram all the action into the last episode this time?
