Online Series: Silo

[Bounces R Way]

I really like the set design and I think the lead actress is doing a phenomenal job but it's lost a little steam as the season has gone on. Maybe i just don't like Tim Robbins that much.

Still a lot to like otherwise and I'm a sucker for sci-fi so I'll continue to watch but I don't think they're sticking the landing. The hook was good enough to keep the audience invested, wish they had kind of explored more of the Silo culture. Feels like they half assed that part. Top people powerful and wealthy, bottom people dirty and angry. Surely there was more to it than that in the books.



Sidenote* this site has gotten basically unusable on mobile. Ads closing my keyboard every 3 seconds f*** off
And they still can't afford servers that don't crash every time anything notable happens

It is according to the book?

Totally agree about Tim Robbins.
I think he gets way too much credit for being Andy Dufresne.

So I figured early on that there might be other silos but that many?! I guess that door at the bottom connects to other silos then.

Thats the theory

Images don't work.

Yes, it seems the suits were not insulated properly and the toxic air leaked into the suit but that better tape took care of that issue.

Great final!

Todays episode was fantastic.

Todays episode was fantastic.

Agreed. I thought it should have been the second episode though. The first episode really set this one up and I think the next episode should have been the third episode.

Spoiler

Fallout vibes at the end

I think they should be able to finish all the books in 2nd season, and then maybe do a prequel movie. Not sure what their plan is but that would be great.

I think they had way too much filler in the season and they could have gotten here sooner

 

[Stylizer1]

The last 4 episodes were great the rest where blah

 

[Danko]

I was hooked on every episode, binge watched in about a week. I'm not a big fan of Common, after watching him on Hell On Wheels, but he is actually really good in the role they have him in.

Sounds like they alreayd started filming season 2, im sure its probably shut down from the Writers Strike but Apple TV has some shows im hooked on.

 

[NyQuil]

Terrific adaptation of a compelling book series.

Ferguson did a great job as the stubborn and prickly Juliette.

A bit of a slow-burn but I enjoyed that it took its time to tease it out.

Part of the richness is understanding how their society functions.

One of the better science-fiction adaptations out there.

Well, the dead giveaway is the hard drive numbered 18 (where all other drives have long numbers) and the illuminated key chain that Bernard has with 18 on it.
