Streaming SILO - Apple TV+

[Frank Bunn]

That aside, there is some pretty average writing, but the mystery and concept is intriguing. I’m very surprised it has 8.1 on IMDb.

As I said, there's a few 10/10 reviews on IMDB that look very much like AI.

Enjoyed this a fair bit.

Probably starts with the production design, just looked and felt the part and that went a fair way. Will never say no to Rebecca Ferguson either.

The usual level of avoiding any deep interrogation into the plot mechanics. Keen enough to see where it goes though weary of the show expanding too much.

Shows like this are doomed to fail. It should really only run 1 season before the big reveal happens. The problem is if it gets popular they will string it out to 3-4 seasons and the plot will get lost. Just like the all time series that lost its way...'Lost'.

Did you watch every episode of Lost to the finale?

Enjoyed it and the ending has left me intrigued now. Had a small dip in a few middle episodes but finished well.

It's good. Aging up the main character from the book from teens to 30s was a very good decision.

Wait she was chief engineer and then became the sheriff as a teen?

although her obsession with solely focussing on what happened to her boyfriend rather then doing her actual job did speak of a teenagers sentimentality.

Reading book 1 which is very different to the show in that it shows a bit more about how the Silo's came to be, whilst jumping around timelines also. Will be interesting to see if season 2 shows more of book 1.

Enjoyed the series and decided to get the book trilogy on kindle.
Season 1 apparently covers the first 30 (out of 82) chapters of the first book "Wool".
Should keep me busy for a while before season 2 eventually appears.

I read these books a while back, so will definitely check out the show at some stage. I can't exactly remember the plot, but the concept was pretty cool.

Well S1 was only the first half of the first book, so think that's a safe bet.

I don't recall book one having many flashbacks though? The show definitely had more flashbacks than the book.

She was a teenager in the book?? Didn't pick up on that at all..

Pretty good start to season 2. Some world building, flashbacks, suspense, a bit of engineering.

It's shot very dark so try to watch it in a low light environment.

Kind of reminded me of FPS games that feature long periods of empty, dark labyrinths with no signs of life such Half Life 2 and Portal 2.

From memory Apple TV drop an episode a week or something? Might wait for the season to be fully out and then get a free trial and binge if they do them.

She acts awfully childish at times focusing on only her concerns and not her respomsibilities. Makes perfect sense now the character was based off a teenager.
