Apple Shares Full First Episode of Sci-Fi Show 'Silo' on Twitter

[MacRumors]

To promote the finale of popular Apple TV+ science fiction series Silo, Apple today shared the full first episode of the series on Twitter.

Taking advantage of the Twitter functionality that allows for longer form video, Apple shared the hour-long episode through its Apple TV+ account. The episode can be watched directly on Twitter, with no Apple TV+ subscription required.

The first episode of the show is also available on the Apple TV+ website and through Apple TV+ apps for those who don't subscribe, but a subscription is required to watch all subsequent episodes.

Silo is one of the latest Apple TV+ shows, and it is based on the "Wool" novel by Hugh Howey. The show stars Juliette as the "sheriff" of an underground silo, focusing on her efforts to uncover the secrets of the silo and what's going on at the surface.

Silo's 10th episode and season finale is set to premiere on Friday, June 30. The show quickly became one of the most popular offerings on Apple TV+ following its launch, and it has received positive reviews from fans and critics.

I thought Apple basically pulled out of Twitter? YouTube would seem a more logical place with maybe links from several social media sites.

Fantastic series...Every episode is different than the last and it just keeps getting better.

I'm enjoying this show a *lot*.

You just made that up. If anything, they've double downed with content, ads, hash flags, etc...And now this.

I absolutely LOVE this series. I know that there is one episode to go for the first season, but I sure hope that they bring out season two quickly. It's very well done.

I like the Silo show a lot. They did a great job. When they posted it on Twitter, there was no closed caption. I thought Apple was all about accessibility. 😶‍🌫️

EDIT: I take back what I said. The embed version doesn't show CC but when you go to the full Twitter webpage, it does show CC. I hope they can fix the issues.

Great to see Apple take advantage of newer Twitter features. As long as Apple is still using Twitter, it will still be the dominant micro-feed/text-based social network.

On an other note. Does anyone know anything about “Invasion” Series 2. When is it being released? It was getting good.

 

[cpnotebook80]

I agree, this show is good and keeps the suspense for those that have not read the books.

 

[Snapperjw]

I see a lot of love for Silo here but I really lost interest as it’s nothing like the book it is based upon. Also they are stringing it out……….. ( yawn!! )

What’s the problem with AppleTV+? For mediocre Sci-Fi stories like “For All Mankind” and “Silo”, it can depicts it extremely well, but, for real masterpieces like “Foundation”, it simply ruins it into sh*t?!!!

Very few know how much is getting spent. All we (the public) know is the Twitter revenue went down 59% last quarter based on their most recent earnings report. Just like Facebook, Twitter won't go away overnight. Now, time to go see what's happening on AOL chat.

 

[timber]

Youtube would be nicer but Apple probably doesn't want anybody getting too comfortable with the offered platform.

Just a taste. Youtube would be better than any streaming service in many ways.

I'm 100% certain you Googled these quickly just to get the links ready, didn't bother reading them actually.

Extremely disappointing to see Apple investing time and money into validating Twitter as a platform.

I don't unfaithful adaptations are an Apple TV+ problem, more of a Hollywood problem.

That said, I don't think Foundation is bad exactly, but they really have taken a very heavy hand it from what I can tell. I've only read the first book. Seems like they are being very free with the adaptation.

I'm a scientist and I've loved everything Apple has done in sci fi, but really didn't like Foundation at all. But I'm just one person. Apple knows the real numbers, and they've shown they are willing to cancel things that aren't going well.

 

[cadewii]

If it's so popular how come I have never heard of it?

 

[nwcs]

I'm 100% certain you Googled these quickly just to get the links ready, didn't bother reading them actually.

Actually I read them at the time but the whole point is that it has been in the news that Apple and Twitter haven’t gotten along in recent times. I haven’t seen any reports that Apple has embraced Twitter’s current status or anything. A reasonable person could conclude that Apple was not happy with Twitter and there hasn’t been any big articles indicating otherwise.

I can see Tim Cook in bed with his Vision Pro on, sparkling water and pop corn with his toes twinkling while binging on all these shows.

So you were able to selectively remember the news saying they left, but not the news they were back and twitters biggest advertiser?

I thought Severence was ok for a puzzlebox show. But like Lost you are just waiting for the shoe to drop when you find out the writers have no plan and are just making stuff up as fast as they can without any over arching coherence.

When I get Apple TV free again I will try out Silo.
