Streaming SILO - Apple TV+

[Frank Bunn]

In the future 10,000 people live in a vast underground civilisation that has an unknown origin. Their only knowledge of the world on the surface is through windows that show a bleak, toxic desolation. Any relics of life before the silo are strictly prohibited.

It's got a quality cast. The production values, set design and world building are all good. There's a good slow reveal of what's going on to make you keep watching and they like to leave you on a cliffhanger.

Impressive pilot

Looking forward to where this goes

Finished episode 3. Really liking it so far.

Is that Exit Music(for a film) by Radiohead playing under the trailer?

Has Snowpiercer vibes.

Did you catch this split second moment in ep 3 when they switched the generator off?

Didn't pause it but did think, what did I see. And did think, did some people see something in that room when it flashed off.

I have my theory on what happens when people go to the surface. Could be totally wrong if course.

Spoiler

are the suits fitted with poison

Looks interesting. I just finished Severance and loved it. Apple TV is quality. Hoping this is like Serverance (or better, even).

This is my theory on who is running the world on the surface.

I read the books a few years back. Was hoping they would make a series out of it - can't wait to watch it.

 

[Gasometer]

I’ve watched the first two and like it. I think I’m going to save it up and binge it

 

[Kirby]

I’ve watched all 3 and love it.

Ferguson is smoking too.

Seeds is watching.

has been solid start. I like how it kills main characters. keeps the story moving. 4th episode the weakest.

How did the main character survive the steam in ep 3? They have been down their 100 years and never stopped the generator for maintenance? Really?

But my real bugbear here is the economics. why are their houses filled with so much decorative things and how do they have such nice clothes and working computers? i dont get how they source the large variety of resources to make all this stuff? Not only do they need access to the outside but trading networks that can source resources from thousands of miles to get this sort of variation in manufacturing production.

hopefully at some point we get an ep that focuses on how the silo works economically.

and why did they not put elevators in given they clearly have more advanced tech?

Is this a new thing? The Dice Man wonders.

Because this feels really retro.. like flares, or Gough.

 

[drd23]

The tension in the generator scene in episode 3 is great

Have watched the first 4 episodes so far - really enjoying it

 

[manureid]

I didnt mind ep 4. Was never going to have the tension of the last Ep, but thought it was a good world building episode. Good backstory stuff.

Certainly the weakest of the episodes but the first 3 were very strong.

I don't want to be too cynical but this better not be one of those shows that drags you in with a strong start just to pad out the rest of the season with a bunch of much weaker filler.

Just preparing everyone for what is to come

 

[hotchilli]

Every time I see Common my head goes straight to him in John Wick 2.

 

[Alberto_Magnifico]

I could watch Rebecca Ferguson all day, the way she perfectly balances tough and vulnerable, there is something about her performance that reminds me of Tom Hardy

Hell on Wheels

Awesome in that

Half way through Ep 5 and it’s starting to feel a bit like this…I’ve bailed for the time being

I'm pretty much just watching for Rebecca Ferguson at this point, she's a cute dystopian Columbo

I have started putting it on FF at times. In ep 5 Ferguson and the Judicial random chasing up and downstairs, Common and the random having a chat on the balcony - were both very predictable scenes that didn't progress what we know about this strange future world.

Many of the US produced shows feel the need to have 10 episodes where the material perhaps merits 6 or 8. It started off really well. Hopefully they get it back on track in the final few shows.
