Silo

I had high hopes for "Silo" S02 after greatly enjoying the first, but this time round, episodes 3 to 9 were such a slog to get through, until the pretty action-packed finale. It felt like a long setup for the already greenlit next two seasons, only picking up steam toward the end. While the show's perpetually dark underground setting makes sense, I felt like I could never really see what's going on. Tim Robbins spends much of his screen time glowering at someone about something, but on the bright side, Rebecca Ferguson, Steve Zahn, Common, and the rest of the cast delivered strong performances that kept us invested (though barely). Any merits of this second outing and the excellent final episode don't fully redeem the overly slow pacing and exposition for the middle chunk, so here's hoping the payoff in S03 is worth it.

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.

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.

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?

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.
