Synopsis
The men and women live in a giant underground bunker with few rules that they believe will protect them from the toxic and broken world above. Whether they’re exploring stars, escaping dystopias, or making the world a better place, these women are what science fiction is all about. Season 1 covers the first 30 chapters of the book “Wool” – there are 82 chapters in the book. The fans on the floor spin in the wrong direction in various episodes compared to the direction of the blades.
My first review!
Featured on WatchMojo: 10 Best TV Shows to Hide in 2023 (2023). I read the Hughes trilogy many years ago and really enjoyed the books. When I happened to be browsing IMDB and found SILO, it immediately piqued my interest. I see mixed reviews, and I can relate to some of them, here’s a sneak peek at 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 attachment to the trilogy was strengthened because Hughes managed to develop Orwellian ideas in a hypothetical way that was relevant to the modern world. Depicting the development of the human psyche in dystopian scenarios is a difficult 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’s not an adaptation in the sense that it follows a story. It’s based on the books, but of course it has to adapt to the audience in a rapidly changing world. Despite that, the series manages to convey the atmosphere of a society living in a bunker. Unlike the superficial storytelling of other shows, “SILO” has a wonderful combination of character development and atmospheric focus.
Give it a try!
My only problem with this show is the lack of atmospheric development. They spend a lot of screen time chasing and capturing Juliet. They lack atmospheric development of the silo as a society. Of course, the show’s audience has to like it.
