Apple TV+ today shared a recap video for the first season of "Silo. The hit series returns for a second season starting later this week.

Warning: The video contains major spoilers, obviously.


"Silo" follows the last 10,000 people on Earth, all of whom live in a massive underground bunker to escape the seemingly toxic and deadly world outside. The people are unaware of why the silo was built, and those who seek the truth face deadly consequences. Rebecca Ferguson stars as Juliette Nichols, an engineer who attempts to unravel the mysteries surrounding the silo following a loved one's murder. The sci-fi series is based on Hugh Howey's best-selling book trilogy "Wool." Ferguson and Howey both serve as executive producers.

The 10-episode second season of "Silo" begins this Friday, November 15, and one new episode will follow every Friday through January 17.

Apple TV+ costs $9.99 per month or $99 per year in the U.S., and the streaming service is also included in all Apple One subscription bundles.

If you liked Silo, you might also like the movie "City of Ember". Note this movie is much more kid/family friendly.
 
I like it when series are based on books, means the show runners aren't just making up the story as they go along. That always annoyed me, TV shows where they just make it all up, where they invent a mystery that they haven't decided what the answer will be yet.

I liked it so much that I read the books. At the current rate, they should reach the end of the story around 2035.

The books were amazing. I intentionally read them before watching the show and I think the books gave good context. Got me going down a rabbit hole to then read The Penultimate Truth by Philip K Dick, from which I believe the Silo trilogy was loosely based.

I haven't seen this series yet, but reading the short description it vaguely resembles the 1976 movie Logan's Run

Please tell me the ultra obvious plot twist, that there is no toxic atmosphere outside and they are able to leave after all, is not true.

I like Silo, but man there's just some really dumb writing in some places, like early in the show when they ask Juliette to be the new Sheriff but she says

"I accept only on the condition that I can fix the malfunctioning generator that we're all depending on for survival" (or something to that effect).

Surely that should have been somewhat of a priority anyway? 🤣

There were so many other totally unresearched, childish plot points. To name a few:

1. They never told the management they needed to fix the ultra-important generator or got approval for it. Just went ahead and did it, because the sheriff-to-be demanded it.
2. Even a non-engineer like me understands they could avoided that whole problem by installing a simple relief valve. As it stands, they almost killed off every living creature in the silo.
3. Somehow the massive metal turbine is instantly cool to touch with bare hands after being switched off.
4. In the water cooling scene, the metal door in the confined space was so hot it was glowing red, yet spraying water on it didn't somehow immediately steam-cook our hero.

The list goes on and on and the episode made it seem as if the engineers didn't know their knees from their elbows.

I get that not everything is going to realistic and that the point of the show is to build emotional tension and showcase characters, but when it's done so childishly, it completely removes you from the actual drama.

The next episodes seem to be better, and I hope this episode was a one-off.

Both shows I got into on Apple TV+ ended up having multi-year gaps between seasons. At least they got renewed, but obviously my tastes differ from those of their core demographic, since many of their other shows do go for several consecutive seasons with no gaps. I've canceled the subscription in the interim, we'll see if I bother picking it back up.
