I really enjoyed the first season of Silo, mainly because I enjoy dystopian sci-fi. The plot had some mysteries, that if handled correctly could be interesting. One of those mysteries was revealed at the end of the season. However, I was worried about where season 2 would lead to.
I had hoped season 2 would be a fresh tale and unlike anything I've seen before. Unfortunately, it's utterly predictable. There is no mystery, no freshness, no dramatic turns, slow pacing and just a general dullness to the story. Apple TV appear to be the masters of telling an extremely slow tale but have it marketed as a slow burn. There is no slow burn. It simply looks like all the ideas were uses up in season 1.
I had rated season 1 8/10. Season 2 has reduced that score to 6/10. If season 3 is as bad as 2 then I can see this dropping to 3 or 4/10.

I loved The Karate Kid film as a child of the 80's. So, I started watching this for a nostalgia hit but expecting it to be awful. However, the first season pleasantly surprised me. It was self-deprecating, funny and reversed the roles of the good and bad guys (Daniel and Johnny). It was magnificent whilst it focused on these 2 original actors whose lives had gone on very different paths for the past 30 years. Season 2 continued with this theme.
However, the show morphed in to being about the children in the Valley who had taken up martial arts and the plots just became silly. The teen drama was written and performed poorly. It became laughably bad, unfortunately. In the first season, Daniel and particularly Johnny, gave us laughs that were knowing laughs and self-deprecating. But in later seasons, I was laughing at how poor the show had become. It's a shame really. A tight 2 or 3 seasons about Daniel and Johnny could have made this show a masterpiece but I guess the money men wanted to milk the IP for all it's worth.
