Caught the first episode, it’s always interesting to see how the book imagery translates to the screen.
I imagined the staircase much more narrow and the confines to be much more claustrophobic.
Considering the population in there, the living quarters are rather spacious.
Solid cast including Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Robbins, Common, Rashida Jones, Will Patton.

I watched the first around 30 minutes of the first episode and it felt like Snowpiercer in a non-moving location.

Read the books over 10 years ago and they were fantastic. I don’t know if the series will capture it but I’m going to give it a try. How many episodes have been released

Just 2 so far. 3rd coming on Friday.
I know nothing about the books but the premise has me intrigued so far. I think they really did a good job with the setting, it feels like a live vibrant place. Acting has been really good.
Feels a little strung along at times in the mysteries such as cutting away from the main character in ep 1 when she's exploring the hard drive for one. I dislike hiding information from the viewer that characters know, but I'm going to assume they'll pay it off eventually. It feels like to me the perfect show for Netflix binge watching, week to week on these type of mystery shows loses some interest for me.
But overall still enjoyed it, just can't wait for entire season to be out.

As far as cutting away from the main character, they showed exactly what needed to be seen, the context is better understood in the 2nd episode

Oh for sure in terms of the last little bit (last one they said?). It's just implied they spent all day looking at that thing getting at least some answers more than they give out in the reflection in the glasses and ep2 dives into.
I suppose it's the sign that I'm interested in the show that I wanted to explore that with the characters
. But I get why you can't give the viewer too much too fast. It's a very minor quibble at very worst.

Honestly thought it was the best one yet! I'd have advised them to drop first 3 all at once rather than 2. I'm definitely hooked after that one.

It's ok.
Mystery box stories are only good if they can gain the audience's attention and hold it over a long period of time. A lot of shows fail miserably at this by adding in fluff to plug the gaps that are made when the writers and directors don't know what to do with characters in the stories. When this happens,
There is only one show that has done the format perfectly, that being Attack on Titan.

Awesome. I'm loving this one, albeit it's being a real slow burn type of show. Latest ep though finally seemed to start to kick things into the next gear.

Season Finale this week
My predictions
My predictions
It's called outside.
I think most of the episode will be here finding and opening "the door" referenced in last week's episode. The episode will end with her seeing daylight and stepping outside and we will be cliffhung
On a bigger picture, I think the Silo is a social experiment. I think that their ancestors were once all criminals.
I also believe that the people who go outside to clean either aren't dying and videos are being shown of them dying or they are being poisined inside the spacesuit

Yeah, I've been leaning as well towards the air in the suits being poisoned.

It's taken quite a bit of fluff to get to this point. I'm not crazy about what they decided to focus on the 1st season but it's been decent.
