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

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.

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.
 
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.
 
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.

Not sure why they didn't release two episodes if they were going to start the season with a filler episode that had it's most interesting moments (reveal at beginning and the ending) spoiled by the trailers and the sneak peek.

Pretty underwhelming start but I expect it'll pick up in episode 2.
 
So far so good. I still don't understand if the sheriff and his wifes bodies actually were there when Juliette went out to clean though.
Also, the images of the outside from the overhead shot that show all the other silo's make it seem like they are fairly close together. '
The second season episode 3 makes it seem that they are further apart and less concetrated as Solo asks Juliette questions to try and figure out which silo she came from
 
Show is great, they spent entirely to much time on the rebellion and not enough on Solo and Juliette. I have some questions regarding Lucas Kyle and The Tunnel Entrance.

Last couple episodes were great but they really dragged this season out and was mostly pretty boring. I read the books a long time ago so was really looking forward to the show but so far it has been pretty mediocre with some good episodes sprinkled in.

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.

huh? Just took them 2 seasons to make it through book 1. Book 2 and 3 are also loaded. I'm hoping we get 6 seasons out of this.

Looks like season 3 will have a big time jump to the past when the Silos were first built and used. the entire 2nd book is about that.
