Silo

Based on the novels by author Hugh Howey, Silo is off to an intriguing start. Yet the question remains, will Silo amount to anything meaningful? After two episodes, that raise more questions than they answer, its hard to tell. So far, what can be clearly enunciated is a quality back story. A story that's akin to Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, with a dystopian, almost cyber punk setting, in an underground, end of the world, style bunker. A strong cast back up, the so far, elaborate story and setting. Like the story itself, the characterisations have a subdued quality about them. This is due to this underground societies desire to keep hidden its past, rather than see it revealed. Finding out too much, can have fatal consequences. In summary, intriguing, creative and if not entirely original, certainly a clever variation, on a theme. It will be interesting to see if the writers can take this, so far, complex tale, somewhere meaningful. Update: Remains a compelling series but the DEI aspects can't be ignored, either. Rating adjusted accordingly.

Silo is a gripping dystopian thriller that follows humanity's last survivors in a massive underground bunker, where strict rules dictate their lives. Rebecca Ferguson shines as Juliette, a mechanic determined to uncover the secrets of the Silo, leading viewers on a suspenseful journey filled with unexpected twists and dark revelations.
