Plot
Men and women live in a giant silo underground, subject to a series of regulations that are supposed to protect them from the toxic and broken world above. Whether they’re exploring the stars, escaping dystopias, or making the world a better place, these women are what science fiction is all about. Season 1 is "The Silo" – the book consists of 82 chapters. The fans on the floor turn the wrong way in various episodes, in terms of the orientation of the blades.
My first review!
Featured on WatchMojo: The 10 Best TV Shows of 2023 That Should Be Overrated (2023). I read the Hughes trilogy years ago and really enjoyed the books. When I was randomly scrolling through IMDB and came across SILO, I was immediately interested. I see some mixed reviews, and I can relate to some of them, but here is my take on the first season.
First of all, I love dystopian literature!
The dystopian genre offers a unique psychological perspective on human nature in hypothetical scenarios. My love for the trilogy was solidified because Hughes managed to develop Orwellian ideas in a hypothetical framework that is relevant to the modern world. Depicting the development of the human psyche in dystopian scenarios is a challenging task. I think Hughes did a wonderful job, and SILO captures most of these aspects in a refreshing way.
The acting is phenomenal for the central characters
It is not an adaptation in the sense that it follows the storyline. It is based on the books, but of course it has to adapt to the viewer in a fast-paced world. Nevertheless, the series manages to capture the atmosphere of a society living in silos. Unlike the shallow storytelling of other shows, “SILO” has a wonderful blend of character development and atmospheric focus.
Give it a try!
My only problem with the show is the lack of atmospheric development. They spend a lot of screen time chasing and capturing Juliette. They lack the atmospheric development of the silo as a society. Of course, it should appeal to the receptive audience.
