The premise of this show is that everyone in the world is an a-hole, and they all treat each other like sh-t. Some a-holes are slightly less stupid that others, but finally they are all too stupid to do anything but make their life, and everyone else's life, a hell. It's a tragedy that so much money and time and energy has been devoted to making something so completely unpleasant and boring. There are literally not characters in the show that anyone would want to watch. There doesn't seem to be any real plot, at least not in the first episode. The whole show is just wasting time and watching people treating each other as animals.

Most of this episode is showing Juliette overcoming physical obstacles to explore a seemingly deserted Silo. Yes, we get the point that she overcomes dangerous and difficult physical obstacles. So what? We know she will survive (or else the show would be over), so there's absolutely no real drama or tension. I think we've seen enough closeups of her strained face to last the whole season. We also get some completely unnecessary flashbacks to her childhood which ALSO show her overcoming difficulties. The producers must think we've never seen a strong female protagonist before, when it's become the biggest cliche in movie history. The last second of the episode has a plot surprise, but it would have been better if this episode began where it ends, since the lead up is unnecessary and boring.
