Silo

The show is good but I haven't read the books. However the cliffhangers are really overkill with season 2 especially you wait the whole season for something to happen. Then it does, and the season ends.

I reminds me of Fallout and is kinda on the same feel except for the early 1900's design as this is more bleak and dark, and there's no funny quips. The concept seems to be the same so far. It's not a bad show just won't be watching it again until I know there's some sort of ending because the current way they're pacing it is overkill and really defeats the show. I ended up fast forwarding it a lot to get through repetitive dialog.

I had high hopes for "Silo" S02 after greatly enjoying the first, but this time round, episodes 3 to 9 were such a slog to get through, until the pretty action-packed finale. It felt like a long setup for the already greenlit next two seasons, only picking up steam toward the end. While the show's perpetually dark underground setting makes sense, I felt like I could never really see what's going on. Tim Robbins spends much of his screen time glowering at someone about something, but on the bright side, Rebecca Ferguson, Steve Zahn, Common, and the rest of the cast delivered strong performances that kept us invested (though barely). Any merits of this second outing and the excellent final episode don't fully redeem the overly slow pacing and exposition for the middle chunk, so here's hoping the payoff in S03 is worth it.

I've been hooked on Silo from the very beginning. The world-building, the mystery, the constant sense of dread-it's exactly the kind of show that keeps me coming back for more. I couldn't wait for each new episode, always eager to see what secrets would be uncovered next. But season 2? Well... let's just say it took its sweet time getting anywhere.

The pacing this season was slow. Painfully slow at times. It felt like they dragged things out just to dump everything in the last episode, and while I love a good finale, it shouldn't have to carry an entire season on its back. And speaking of the ending... yeah, not great. It left me with more questions than answers, and not in a good "ooh, I can't wait to find out more" way-more like a "wait, that's it?" kind of way.

One thing Silo does really well, though, is making characters feel genuinely intimidating. I lost count of how many times I thought, "Yeah, I wouldn't last a day in this place." But while some actors absolutely nailed their roles, others... not so much. There were a few performances that felt flat or just didn't match the intensity of the story.

Even with its flaws, I'm still excited for the next season. Hopefully, we'll finally get some real answers about the history of the Silo and what's really going on. Just... maybe let's not cram all the action into the last episode this time?

As a great fan of the genre, I can only keep applauding with a second season that continues to shine in every aspect.

The main protagonist, Rebecca Ferguson, has less screen time, something that could take away a lot since she was, without a doubt, the best part of the show. Well, she's still the best, but everything else adds so much that it balances the whole.

The cast, in general, is up to the task, both those returning from the first season and the new additions, among whom actor Steve Zahn (Solo) stands out.

Without a doubt, what I highlight most about the series is how it achieves an excellent pace, suitable for all audiences-something very rare in science fiction.

One of the best sci-fi series of the last five years, where the story shines on its own.

Silo has already been renewed for another two seasons so I'm looking forward to seeing where this show goes. It's suppose to end with season 4 so it will have a proper ending and won't end on a cliffhanger like so many other shows. This show really is every bit as good as everyone says it is. It currently has a 87% on Rotten Tomatoes and an 8.2 here so it's liked by both critics and the audience. It has those great scores for a reason. This is definitely one of the best new shows of the last few years. The seasons may start a little slow for some, not me, but the tension continues to build and build until the last few episodes are can't miss. It takes place in a dystopian future where everyone lives in a huge silo hundreds of stories underground. They live there with a bunch of rules that they all believe are in place to protect them. It has a star studded cast led by Rebecca Ferguson and supported by Tim Robbins, Shane McRae, Will Patton, Common, Iain Glen, David Oyelowo, Rashida Jones, and more. With that cast, the great writing and great visuals this is a cant miss thriller.
