Started strong but in Ep 5 Im already checked out. The plot just fell apart and I couldn't care less about any of the characters including the Sheriff chick. Silo had a great concept but they don't have the script to support it and it's following an unfortunate trend of contemporary tv series where they launch with high hopes and dissolve into oblivion 5/10

this looks really good, can't wait. The fact that its on AppleTV and not Netflix series gives a big hope

SUPER excited for this. The Silo series books were fantastic, and I always thought they would make a great movie or show. Fingers crossed that the show is just as interesting as the books!

What a shit show. The first episode has more sex scenes than the average pornhub video. Cant you tell a damn story without putting a sex scene every 5 minutes? Also within the first episode people acting like absolute fools, not believable at all.

looks promising, though I get strong Snowpiercer vibes

The 1st episode was promising. The 2nd was solid. The next 5 were completely and utterly slow, boring, and barely relevant. Abandoned.

So far seems like a more expensive version snowpiercer. Which would be great had we not endured that stupid show.

Enjoying it so far, started reading the books so I can see the differences.

Starts superbly, first sheriff (Oyelowo) great character but dies too soon living a huge gap and his death really impacted audience and plot. Will Patton is reduced to a drunken fool dies too soon and we're left with Ferguson who is an ok actress but not a protagonist. But if it has to be a white protagonist it better be a woman that's also not too feminine. Right? Typical woke crap, all men are either retarded or evil, women are the best, run everything lift everything, do what men do BETTER blah blah blah blah. Completely wasted Tim Robbins, as a side character until ep8. I guess he is too manly amd too white to have more screen time. All plot, backstories and support characters are 100% NPCs. I couldn't care less if they live or die, including Nichols' early years. Boring snoozfest! After episode 3 SKIP to 8 and then watch the "revelation" on ep 9, which makes no differetin the overall pkot. As for the ending... Worse than Lost's. It's a wasteland, no it's not but it is, but it's not but it is. Total nonsense. 4/10

I gave up at episode 6, it started out really well with an intriguing premise, but as others have said many times, it is incredibly slow and just not that interesting.

Looks like a low-key **City of Ember (2008)** spin-off, lmao. Wish we had an actual and better series of it.

[tv+] Without a doubt, it's the Apple's best foray into the science-fiction genre, an approach to a dystopian society that is based on George Orwell's "1984" raising questions about populism, control of the female body, and the construction of a state that keeps secrets to build coexistence. There's outstanding suspense management, as in episode 3, and a proper balance between personal traumas and the overview of a silo holding on fragile basis. Although sometimes it's too obvious, especially towards the end, it has a coherent ending to broaden the field of vision of its main themes.

Two episodes released and what a good start for this TV show. This seems to be based on a post apocalyptic world of some sorte and they live in a Silo, apparently ruled by Justice.

I haven't read the books so I don't know if the series are doing them any justice.

But based on this 2 eps alone I say this is looking as a very good show, let's up the quality keeps going up or at least the same as the first 2 episodes.

i just don't get why people are loving this. acting is over the top, script is predictable. oh yes lets put a 56kg woman to work the machinery, while mr fucking ripped boss is just watching. thefuck. 81%? imdb 8.4? fuck off

From the description and trailer looks like a nearly exact copy of the ***City of Ember*** (https://trakt.tv/movies/city-of-ember-2008), which I loved. Let's see how it goes :slight_smile: Oh.. And Rebecca :heart:

Starting to wonder if this is some kind of undercut before the Fallout series get released. Won't complain tho; the premise looks good. Hopefully more science fiction than just the drama. Too many movies and series that sell themselves as such often tend to be more drama or even crime than honest science fiction.

City of Ember for grownups? Yes please!

I haven't read the books. I don't know much about this series at all other than its a scifi. I like most scifi so long as the story is well told, acted okay, and generally not get too ridiculously stupid. The mystery is (over the first two episodes) well paced and it's giving us just the right amount of hooks to keep us going.

My question is why do they go out in protective suits? My first thought would be to provide a nice cocktail of hallucinogens and poison, but that's too obvious and predictable.

Then of course the are other major questions that arise like obtaining raw resources, but I guess things like that may get answered as we go along. But I guess Gilligan's Island went for quite a while without answering some major sticking points... but that's another story.

The Island stretched to 10 episodes?

good first episodes.lets see if it will become on my weekly list

Episode 3's generator event must be one of the most mind numbingly stupid scenes that I have ever seen.

What were the writers writing? Even a child would know, out of instinct, to not do what the main character was doing. It simply breaks the laws of physics and has nothing to do with reality.

Not to mention the engineering aspects of the rest of the design and the so-called fixes and repairs applied, which are just ridiculous.

It's not about suspension of disbelief, it's about sheer stupidity. This episode makes me want to stop watching.
