Hi!

I was wondering if any of you all have seen the SILO apple tv series and what you all thought about it. I’m a bit late to the party, but thought it was a fun, mystery, sci-fi show with a cool premise.

“In a ruined and toxic future, a community exists in a giant underground silo that plunges hundreds of stories deep; there, people live in a society full of regulations they believe are meant to protect them.”

As well, has anyone read the book series? Does it have a satisfying ending? I’m interested to check it out, but don’t want to spoil myself. I’m debating just following along as a fun, intriguing, tv series rather than investing into the books.

    Thanks, thats a strong recommendation, I will definitely check it out!

    It agree, the threatened harm to love one’s as a means to fall in line was a bit overdone, but probably realistic.

      It’s also not at all what Juliette does in the book. She’s almost entirely motivated by Holston’s cleaning and it’s myatery. Also the whole Peter Billings scared for his family and his “syndrome” doesn’t exist. The whole point of the book is critical people questionning their way of life that find and help each other out. The show is really lazily written by people who did not understand or knew the source material. And that whole “big brother” camera room is a fucking joke. Bernard is a much better antagonist in the novel. No need for Sims as the ruthless killer that loves his son(sôooooo fucking dumb) and the judge that actually was invented for the show. He easily fit those three parts and that makes for a more fleshed out and complex character, just like real life. But ok I’ll stop, I’m just tired of poor writers butcheringn an already existing amd well thought out book. There is no excuse, they’re just writing by numbers.
