I watched both Seasons. Season 1 was really good and VERY disturbing, but Season 2 was SOOOOO GOOD! I absolutely loved it. True horror. Fear and creepiness and super unique without gore, which is the sign of great horror. The acting was superb. I really enjoyed how it was set in the late 80's early 90's and the time period/ culture at the time, and how a black female cop was treated. Well 'enjoy' isn't the right word but it was a good representation of the racism and both the overt and micro aggressions at that time. Overall a fantastic story, with great acting, and full-on creepiness and horror factor. Highly recommend.

The Wool Trilogy books are among the best books I've ever read. I was extremely hesitant to watch Silo because I had such a vivid internal vision of this post-apocalyptic world from the books, and I didn't want to ruin it. That being said, I'm halfway through the 1st season and it is nothing like the books in the best way! What I mean is the framework is there, the events, and the basics of what made the books great. However most of the detailed storyline is completely new and embellished and fills in gaps of things that were hinted at or glossed over in the books. What I'm happy about is that I have still maintained a distinct version of the books in my head, and the show like a new fun version. I have to say they did a PHENOMENAL job with the casting and sets. So much of it was how I imagined. But the differences set the book apart and I like that. This is probably the first time that I'm happy the show isn't just like the books, but I still really enjoy the show. Super well done!
