There are plenty of post apocalyptic series to choose from but Silo is among the better ones to come out in some time. I never read the books (or even heard of them) but I've still been looking forward to this ever since I first heard about it and then my expectations grew even more after watching the trailers. Well, I can tell you that without a doubt this show has not only met those expectations but surpassed them in every way. This is probably best binged watched because of all the great cliffhangers it's hard to wait a week to see what happens next. This has so many great twists and turns it will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout each episode. I'm glad this got renewed so quickly because this is a show that can stay exciting for at least a few more seasons. I also hate getting invested in a show for said show to get canceled without a proper ending. This will have that.

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.

The underlying story is great. But the superb acting and intense feeling of peril, combined with intriguing unknowns make this an addictive show well worth your time.

Rebecca Ferguson who plays Juliette Nichols does a stellar job in the lead as a somewhat reluctant hero. But it the ensemble cast really support the narrative. Harriet Walter is a standout with a really engaging performance that that gives you that Routing for the underdog buy in of the story to keep you coming back to see how her story unfolds.

And the addition of Steve Zahn in season 2 is a real treat, he nails the vibe seeming both dangerous and childlike.

The set design is amazing. You never feel like this is shot on a small stage. The Silo feels like a real place and it really adds to realism. I'm reminded of season one of Westworld.

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?

I'm nearly done season two, and while the acting and the dialogue leave a lot to be desired, I'm still watching because it's so goddamn interesting.

Silo is set in a dystopian future where civilization lives underground in a cement "silo" and the earth above is unsafe to roam (or is it)? The set and production is excellent, I believe in this world right away and understand it. Those who played Fall Out religiously will appreciate the underground living vibes! The first couple episodes of season one really draw you in with the mystery. However, in about episode five or so my husband and I kept side-eyeing each other and then finally both had to admit that although we were enjoying the show we secretly both wanted to make fun of it so bad. The acting leaves a lot to be desired, and maybe part of that is the rigid dialogue that doesn't feel natural. Characters are constantly over-explaining things (like the pact, or how something works in the silo) and while this is to be expected in the world-building plane of science fiction, we have seen it done better in soooo many series. Tim Robbins, who is an excellent actor and does shine here, also falls a bit flat at times just simply based on what he's given to work with. There are a few other actors who are GREAT in *other* shows...so why are they not as great here? So much potential!

And the accents? Don't even get me started. There are several actors who are not American who are being forced to use an American accent with varying results; some are downright bad. Why not allow these characters to be in a future word where they just speak how they speak? Because it is actually off-putting to hear them force an accent they're not good at.

That all being said: interesting concept, great plot twists, engaging story. I am still watching it because I need to know what happens, despite the acting faux pas here and there and the dialogue that lacks a natural feel. If you stick with it, I think you'll be entertained and glad you did!

The season 1 was really great with a lot of suspense, lot of mystery and a very nice atmosphere. When we watched the season 2 we were disappointed after such a long wait. While the season 1 was mysterious with a lot a action, we have to say that season 2 is boring !!! Being honest and having read the trilogy, it was a challenge to continue the Tv show as the character of Solo is not that captivating. Although we were excited to learn to know Juliette in season 1, her character is lacking depth in season 2. Therefore we only have one question : Why didn't you stop the show at the first season ? Why ?

In a dystopian future where a community lives in a giant silo extending 144 floors underground, 10,000 people live in a society bound by rules they believe are meant to protect them. The citizens live in a self-contained, aging underground city because the outside is dangerous and polluted. In the massive underground bunker called the "Silo," our community thrives without knowing its history as records were supposedly destroyed 140 years prior during a failed uprising. Sheriff Holston Becker (David Oyelowo) tells Deputy Sam Marnes (Will Patton) that he wants to "get out." Three years earlier, Holston and his wife Allison (Rashida Jones) are given permission by their doctor to remove her birth control implant for 365 days. During this time, Allison learns subversive beliefs about Silo from fertility expert Gloria Hildebrandt (Sophie Thompson), and helps computer expert George Wilkins (Ferdinand Kingsley) explore a forbidden hard drive from before the rebellion. Allison tells a skeptical Holston that those in power are lying to them and that the vision of a dead outside world on Silo's screens may be false, but the truth will come out. Later, the hard drive that uncovers a strange truth ends up in the possession of engineer Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson).....

¨Silo¨ is an excellent American dystopian science fiction television series from 2023 superbly created by Graham Yost, featuring intrigue, intense drama, twists, turns, many surprises and fantastic events. It is based on the novel series ¨Silo Chronicles¨ by North American author Hugh Howey, who also serves as executive producer of the appropriate adaptation. The three books in Hugh Howey's Silo trilogy are called Wool (2011), Shift (2012) and Dust (2013). The story takes place in a dystopian future where a community takes refuge in an underground silo. The rendition stars Swedish actress Rebecca Ferguson as Juliette, an engineer who finds herself embroiled in a mystery that threatens to call into question the origins and foundations of her community. Also appearing are Rashida Jones, David Oyelowo, Common and Tim Robbins, all of them give splendid performances. Along with other decent supporting actors such as: Harriet Walter, Chinaza Uche, Avi Nash, Remmie Milner, Billy Postlethwaite, Shane McRae, Rick Gomez, Iain Glen, Chipo Chung, Aexandria Riley, Clare Perkins, Angela Yeoh and many others.

The series is composed of a first season in 10 episodes covering the first 30 chapters of the book "Wool", this title "Wool" refers to the cloth material that is given to clean those who are sent away; the book has 82 chapters. In June 2023, the series was renewed for a second season of also 10 episodes, which premiered on November 15, 2024; it covers the remaining chapters of the book and also features characters from the second book ("Shift"). In December 2024, the series was renewed for a third and fourth season, and the series will conclude with this last fourth. The series was competently directed by expert television filmmakers, such as: Michael Dinner, Amber Templemore, Adam Bernstein, Morten Tyldum, Bertie Ellwood, David Semel and Aric Avelino. Rating: 7.5/10. Above average series that science fiction enthusiasts will really like.

A wonderful world building and mystery that may burn a bit too slow for some but balances it out with wonderful cinematography and interesting characters.

I'm yet to read the books, or rather listen to them in audio format, but the show presented more than enough intrigue to make me look forward to the books. The fact that the show is based on the book is always a plus for me, especially well received books, because despite the slow burn and the mysteries the show presents... I'm comforted by the knowledge that they'll be answered at the end.

I'll ask you to remember Dark. That show put every other mystery box show to shame, so much so it felt like it lost its way in nearly every episode... but when the last episode came about and the key word made the code make sense... it instantly cemented itself as one of the best TV shows ever made.

Silo may not reach that level of complexity but it is building its own unique world and it's a fun ride to discover it with the characters.

9/10 would recommend.

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.

Binged both seasons. Not what I was expecting but wow, did it ever catch my attention.

It took me a long time to finally watch this one. It has a very high rating. The more popular something is the less I want to watch it. But it's popular for good reasons. I had just finished watching Fallout and was concerned they would be similar. But they weren't in the slightest.

Silo held my attention because it's all about the mystery. I love a good mystery. Silo manages to drag the answers out at an incredibly slow rate that makes you burn for the answer. While they do this, they throw in many subplots and moving parts that keep it interesting. There's a lot going on and yet there's very little going on at the same time.

The series takes it's time to set the scene. There's no rush as they layout what the silo is and who these people are. Slowly the characters unfold and grow on you. While the story very slowly reveals itself. It's like they knew they had many season to slowly unfold the world they gave us, so they wrote it with that intention.

There's so much quality to the show as no budget is spared. Every actor is fantastic, especially the lead, Rebecca Ferguson. You couldn't have asked for a better actress. The writing is clever and the sets are beautiful. Silo takes you into a dystopian world of the future. Living underground trying to survive. It's an apocalyptic tale packed full of mystery, with people trying to survive and keep their humanity.

Highly recommend if you're a fan of mystery and apocalyptic stories.

Overall I enjoyed it but it felt like it was constantly teasing you, give you little snippets of the big question we all wanted to know very slowly. The main plot was pretty epic but was dragged down by so much empasis on the subplots. Some might have liked the subplots but I felt like the main plot was already solid enough to focus on primarily without all the moments of unessercery suspense and drama. There were also many logical details that were overlooked. I felt I was getting jarred by the narrative again and again when it didn't make sense.

I still really liked it but it required patience and wasn't as amazing as I thought it would be originally.

Silo's season two finale? Utterly gripping. Leaves you breathless, craving more. Best show this year, hands down. Characters feel so real, you're invested instantly. World-building is immersive; you're there, trapped in the silo. Mystery deepens, pushing you to read the books. Need to know what happens next! The tension, the secrets, the sheer 'what if?' factor...it's addictive. You'll finish wanting more, guaranteed. Every twist, every reveal, it pulls you in. Believable struggles, hidden truths, the silo's secrets unravel slowly. A must-watch for anyone who loves a good mystery. You will not be disappointed. The urgency to find out the answers is powerful. The acting is superb. The show is amazing.

Like so many other reviewers, I really enjoyed Season One (I rated it an 8) and was waiting to pick up the story once Season Two started.

But S02 has been a real disappointment. The pace is so slow and, like GOT, you realize they are trying to stretch three shows into ten.

And, again, like GOT the scenes of Juliette in the new Silo are so dark you cannot make out what is happening. Back at her hoe Silo the story is slow paced and you have to wait for scenes that move the story forward. All this leaves me bored and the show does not keep my attention.

I am 8 episodes in so I will watch the remaining two shows but I honestly don't expect the writers to pull this out of the fire. They don't have the ideas to do so IMO.

Doubtful I will watch a Season Three.

Had to write a review to counter set all the other reviews and say I really enjoyed the second season, maybe even more than the first one.

We have all seen countless numbers of failed nr twos, from The Matrix to Caribbean Pirates. Silo's second season wasn't one of them. The big reason being, they managed to keep the suspense and discovery element alive, which is a key element on thriller and suspense based shows without turning into yet another action based part two. I understand that many only value storytelling that connect script points with a word 'and then' opposed to 'therefore' or 'but', to keep the content 'rich' on elements and locations, but it usually tells a rather thin and forgettable story with all the 'and then's, that even South Park creators try to avoid it. Watching season two I was happy. PS never read the books, so I might be up for a disappointment in season 3, but I do hope they maintain the exploration and world building element alive that gives so much to the thriller format.

I have just started watching this show. Something has stood out from the beginning. The sound of the actors' voices is very clear. My compliments to the sound people, this is a small miracle.

I very frequently struggle to hear what actors are saying in shows and films. Perhaps it's something to do with the acoustics of a silo? But I think not, I believe it is down to some very good work by the movie sound people who record and edit the voices of the actors. It is rare to hear the voices of actors with such delightful clarity.

It is almost like hearing the voices of actors in the theatre, it is so good.

I am several episodes in now and I am enjoying the acting and the story. There are good characters well portrayed and something is gradually being unravelled with regard to the history and operational details of the silo. I am not sure where it is all leading yet, but it is certainly keeping me engaged.

I have now completed series one. I really enjoyed it. There is a significant element of the ending that is identical to a reveal that happens in a film. To avoid spoilers I won't say the name of the film, but I'm sure that others know the one that I mean if they have seen it. This did not detract from my enjoyment of Silo and I'm not sure who came up with the idea first in any event as I don't know when the book that Silo was based on was written.

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.

To be honest, I thought the first season was slow, but now season two is glacial.

I do not need to be repeatedly told the socio-political results of the actions of these people. It's deadset obvious. I'm waiting for the show to catch up to me at this point, and no, I haven't read the books, but I have read and seen hundreds of versions of this story - snowpiercer, anyone?

That's just the latest in a long line of this kind of thing, and most humans behave thusly given certain situations - looking at you Agatha Christie, and Isaac Asimov, they both knew that very well indeed.

We're getting extremely predictable and I feel like every scene is on a 'one more time for the dummies' infinite loop. I can say the dialogue before the characters do at this point. Why are so many shows at this snail's pace now? Who is this demographic they're looking to entertain who can't keep up with what is happening and it's implications?

If it doesn't get a wriggle on, I'll have to drop it. Snoozefest.

Offering minor updates rather than groundbreaking developments. The pacing has slowed to a crawl, with the narrative momentum of Season 1 all but lost in a sea of drawn-out subplots and unnecessary dialogue13. Where the first season captivated audiences with its mysterious underground world and thrilling twists in each episode, Season 2 meanders through political machinations and separated storylines that fail to maintain the same level of intrigue. The show's attempt to expand its world feels more like filler, stretching out key events and leaving viewers yearning for the taut storytelling and revelations that made the inaugural season so compelling. This approach mirrors Apple's product strategy of incremental improvements, but in the realm of television, it translates to a frustrating viewing experience that lacks the urgency and excitement of its predecessor.
