Silo is een Amerikaanse sciencefictionserie van de zender Apple TV+. De serie ging in première op 4 mei 2023.
In een verwoeste en giftige toekomst bestaat in Silo een gemeenschap in een gigantische ondergrondse silo die honderden verdiepingen diep duikt. Daar leven mannen en vrouwen in een samenleving vol regels waarvan zij denken dat die bedoeld zijn om hen te beschermen.
After watching the first two episodes: I didn't expect to like it. Let's go again, the planet is sick and the last remnant of humanity has to survive, in this case in a huge silo and it will be all grim again. But still, I was fascinated from the start. Sympathetic characters, an interesting world and an exciting mystery.
Still curious, can they come up with something new in the format: the world has ended, there are only a few survivors left and they live in an underground world? After watching episode 1 I was sold. You feel the mystery, although I can't put my finger on it right away in episode 1. Surprised about how big is that Silo, 120 floors or something and only stairs? Because new things come to light every episode, you will remain hungry. Great viewing so far!
SPOILERS if you haven't seen the final episode yet!!! If you look at the last shot of the last episode, you'll see that the silo where the story took place this season is probably not the only silo. Look at all those round spots that look the same as what Jules comes out of. And how the world became this way is probably also an interesting story. In my opinion there are still plenty of possibilities for one and perhaps even more seasons.
Season 2 was even better than 1. And damn, that ending! Super curious how this will continue. Hopefully we will be granted a third season, because ending a series with such a cliffhanger, that is really not on...
I found Juliette's story in the other silo a bit boring, until the end. The ending was good though. I got goosebumps after everyone started cheering for you know what.
Iain Glen was, despite his role not being big, one of the better ones. What a good actor that man can be and what a calmness he radiates. I find Camille Sims' character very interesting. I'm very curious why they were allowed to stay but not her husband and son.
I'll try to be as vague as possible because of spoilers :P
The first episode is actually just a kind of 'prologue', like in a book, then chapter 1 starts. From episode two you are completely sucked into the story. My sweetheart (not a big SF fan) also got wildly enthusiastic and then I know we have started a great ride. Beautiful sets, good script, top acting and the empathy factor is quite high. Great SF series!
The first two episodes I was interested. Then it got a bit boring to get exciting again in the last two. Like with so many series I think they could have told it in 6 instead of 10 episodes. So every now and then I fast forward a bit. Now on to season 2. I hope we get to know more about the world outside the silo.
