Apple Releases 'Silo' Season Three Trailer Ahead of Hit Show's Return

[zarmanto]

Is it just me, or are there a lot of tv shows that feature people in a bunker for one reason or another?

(Silo, Fallout, Paradise... that's off the top of my head.)

It’s a Samsung Frame TV. Honestly, it’s not a great panel, but I do very much like the “art” function. ...

Can confirm; my in-laws have one, too. The software is terrible and anything but intuitive... but the art is nice.

Personally, I wouldn't make a tech purchasing decision solely based upon some curated art collections, though.

The first season was great, well paced with plots coming thick and fast. The second season felt deliberately drawn out and this is where I get pissed off at producers for manipulating storylines that don't reflect the books. If season 3 turns out to be more of season 2 then I'm out. Anyone who remembers how Lost dragged out a simple storyline and screwed the viewers will know that feeling. Never again.

they trick is to latch onto however minor a hit and try to squeeze each and every drop by stuffing it with mindless filler 'twists' and end-of-season cliffhangers, and keep going until something else materialises. the worst is when they give you a 56 min episode one week, and then 28 mins the next, like that stupid 'murderbot' show peaked at 32 - so much to invest in!

... pissed off at producers ...

My mind went straight to Lost too, the second I read this.

I am the only one who is driven around the bend by the terribly long delays between seasons??. I have given up on more than one series because by the time the second or third seasons were released, I had totally forgotten who's who and what the plot line is. "Severance" on Apple TV is another perfect example.

I was really waiting for season three, but the trailer kind of diminished my desire. Juliette's memory loss is the kind of narrative trick to prevent the story from unfolding and allow the platform to stretch the season to the max. At least it is what I can infer by watching this trailer.

This was my gut reaction as well. I hope we're wrong because I've been waiting for this season to drop!

This show moves reveals its mysteries so SLOWWWWWLYYYYY and I fear that adding another story set in the present will slow it down even more.

I don’t mind them deviating from the book (keeps things a bit fresh for those of us who already know where the story goes) but amnesia, really? Were all the good clichés taken?

Season One was great. Season Two was considerably average. The fact that they've turned a trilogy into four seasons doesn't bode well. Should've kept it to 30 episodes total.

In the present, Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson) survives her forced 'cleaning' but returns with memory loss

Wait, what?! Pretty sure this memory loss did not happen in the novels. Sounds like a fairly lame cop-out by the screenwriters so they can spin a few more seasons of Silo once they run out of source material from the books.

But then again I guess Game of Thrones did this too, slowly diverging more and more from the books. And it was only at the end that it got bad.

I enjoy Silo, but I think of it as a guilty pleasure. I enjoy the exploration of a fun concept of a mystery bunker, but... the writing isn't exactly great.

First season leans too heavily into police murder investigation and could have happened on the surface without changing all that much of the plot.

Second season was based almost entirely around one very obvious plot point/twist which would have been cool if it went for a single episode. But it went for a season. And you could see the twist coming a mile away.

Will I continue to watch? Well. Yes. It remains a guilty pleasure.

I feel this trailer gave away a little too much 😕

I like the show very much. Looking forward to seeing the mystery continue and evolve in the next season.

I’m a huge fan of Ferguson and watch every thing she’s in which was the only reason I watched season one. OMG it was fantastic. I couldn’t wait for each new episode. And then there was season 2. Like others stated here, I bailed on it after 2 1/2 episodes. It was like new writers came in and didn’t bother to watch the first season. Instead they just wrote about something totally different.

I’m hoping season 3 gets back on track with the original story line.

Trailers almost always do. And thank you for sharing your thoughts because I will not watch the trailer now.

 

[rbbloom99]

what's your tv?

should be an easy fix

I have LG tv and season two was pretty much a black screen. Ferguson said in an interview once season two was going to be a lot darker than season one but I thought that was about the story line. Not a dark screen with some shadows in the background. Lol
