Silo has a solid plot and cast, but suffers from some overt gender discrimination. There's a pretty simple test we can apply to this one: swap the gender of all the characters. Still cool? Nope? Ok then, it's not ready for release. Every single strong, brave and competent character with a functional moral compass is played by one gender, and all the weak, morally bankrupt, and cruel characters are from the other gender. This is apparently all OK though, because the men are the ones who are weak and evil. Apparently the way we get equality is by taking turns at discrimination. I expect better from modern writing than this, and I hope that others do too.

A once brilliant and provocative show could now be slotted into any family friendly programming on any channel. Not a single joke in season 13 even made me smile. Not once. This cult of anti humour, please let's not offend anyone anywhere by being too funny nonsense has robbed FX of one of the best shows it ever had. What we have now is a G rated Hallmark romcom sitcom masquerading as Archer. Really seems like it should have stopped after season 12. It would have taken a lot to recover from the loss of Jessica Walters, but it seems like the show wants to be buried along side her. Rest in piece.

They repeat what little content they have at least a dozen times, and have nothing new to present. Every tiny piece of circumstantial evidence known from before is presented like they found a smoking gun on a grassy knoll. Their "super computer" is somehow not in the cloud and also makes the same spin up sound as a hard disk from the 90s. The camera cannot stop moving, cutting and zooming to pointless dramatic sound effects. The 5 episodes could have been presented in about 10 minutes
