This. And if it's a show I really look forward to, the week to week excitement is kind of fun. "Oh it's Tuesday night, it's been a long day, but such-and-such has a new episode tonight."
Got a tip for us?

I don't watch Netflix as much, but I know that's not the case on every show. And definitely not on Prime. Rings of Power (their most expensive endeavor) was a weekly release. Jack Ryan was as well, at least the later seasons were.
I definitely get being cheap, though, and wanting small victories!
Seems to me that Apple is providing the best of both worlds, depending on what type of viewer you are.
Yay for the early Silo release.
I also like the weekly schedule. It allows the episode to simmer and I can think about it more, and if I find like minded fans who want to talk about the series, it provides nice conversations when everyone is going at the same pace.

The big mystery is, well, gone; its is turning into more of a run-of-the-mill dystopian survival story. As you wrote hopeful, maybe a new mystery will be uncovered that keeps us glued (what about the water reservoirs, tunnels, and doors)?
Will the same fate happen to Severance?
Many people do chose that and started watching, and you are not forced since you can binge in 8 weeks. Don't tell me you can't wait 8 weeks to binge, almost like some people that cannot wait to start right away and watch it once a week.
Especially for families, that have "their" show.
Indeed useless flashbacks that precede season 1 of YOUTHFUL days is NOT relevant to current situation and it's just useless filler.
Shame season 2 is graded so dark. It's ridiculous
I'm watching week to week, but I usually do the binge thing after there are some episodes in the queue. I sometimes have to wait for the last couple of episodes.
For this show I have read the books, I may not remember what happens next, but I know what happens in general, so the cliffhangers aren't so intense.

The first season blindsided us by killing off the central characters in the first episode. Then killing off the new central characters in episode 2. After that, it was a lot like season 2 so far. Plenty of flashbacks and some scenes of Juliet dangling at the end of a rope. People were complaining about the pace of it.
Thats what happens in the books...
So is it only an early release for US subscribers, or everyone around the world? That's not made clear in the article. Link to the original source?
Binge watching is fun. You do have that option by waiting several weeks for the whole season to be released. 😬
My subscription just expired, always yearly plan since the beginning, now too many subscriptions that overlap content so only YT TV, Amazon Prime, and free Peacock for now. I’ll binge at end of seasons for a month. I actually watch more Tubi than anything else.
Note that the article's reference to "Silo" being based on Hugh Howey's book series doesn't tell you that the three-book series is actually called "Wool" after the title of its first book, followed by "Shift" (a prequel) and "Dust".

I laughed at your post, but am genuinely curious what people expect from him playing the character he does?
that’s like expecting a security guard or officer to have different facial expressions I feel like. he’s judicial. very serious, very mysterious.
idk. I know it’s all opinion, but I just personally haven’t had an issue with his acting in this and find it hard to see what it would be.
There's an official one from Apple on YouTube: Silo — Season 1 Recap | Apple TV+
There's a bunch of 3rd-party ones on YouTube as well.
Agreed - yes, he doesn't show a wide range of emotions, but he's (thus far) playing a character who doesn't show a wide range of emotions. Moreover, the character he's playing has a strong need to appear in public as stoic, authoritative, and uncompromising. I didn't have any problems with Common's acting here (I've not seen him in anything else). I found the character interesting to watch, and was never expecting to see him go skipping down a hallway singing songs and telling jokes.
