Silo (AppleTV+)

I read the trilogy a long time ago. First and second books were good, third fell a little flat.

The show has made enough tweaks to stuff that I’m very engaged to see how they finish it out.

Started this while on a work trip. The first two episodes were great and pretty intriguing. Since then, it’s been a slog. I think I’m about to start episode 6. I hope it gets better as it’s barely able to keep my attention at this point.

It gets amazeballs.

Yep. Nice slow burn.

Just finished the first season. It definitely picked up over the last 3 episodes. Wasn’t the ending I was expecting, I thought perhaps Allison and Holston might still be alive and living with another group of people.

Look forward to seeing where it goes from here.

You can read the first book. It definitely goes a lot farther than the show has thus far.

Gah, 2025! I was hoping we might be able to get it in the fall.

Got a little Vangelis vibe with the music.

 

[Devilmaycare]

That's for the reminder. I'll start my binge of S1 tonight. I wanted to rewatch it before S2 starts as a refresher.

BTW, they list it as the 15th but those of us out west will probably get it Thursday night if they follow the old release patterns.

Oh nice. Dig season 1 even if it was a little slow for my tastes.

The way the trailer looked at the end, it brings up questions!

S2E1 was very good. To stay true to the story, the writers had to get creative--and they did so in excellent fashion. As to the actual filming...ugh, we don't have to make the viewer unable to see much of anything for giant chunks of time for us to understand it's freaking dark! Really awful.

Spoiler

Anyone who read the first book knew there would be a lot of exploration and zero dialogue at the start. Bringing in flashbacks that are relevant not just to the engineering task at hand, but that further build her character and flesh out the world, was wonderful. Hearkening back to the rebellion that broke open and "ruined" this silo was also spot on.

Edit: Also an excellent use of the below in the story:

Man, the execution of the try/fail cycle really hit the mark.

I have it on the watching slate for tonight after the fight. Finished up my S1 rewatch last night in prep for it. Can't wait.

You had me a little worried with the dark comment but I didn't think it was too bad given the setting. It might have helped that I saw your comment and was expecting it to be Battle of Winterfell dark. Good start to the season though.

Spoiler

I haven't read the books but I wasn't expecting much dialog given where S1 ended and Juliette being an introvert. It would feel off if she started monologuing the entire time.

The flashbacks were good too for adding context. A lot of times I don't like them since they tend to be filler so it's good to see them used well. It did scare me though that I though with the dinging noise that she was hearing. I had the fear that she was going to find it being caused by the toy that she fixed. That would have made no sense.

On the try/fail cycle, I really liked that they showed her engineering the tries. It gave it a real feel. What she was doing felt like how I would have gone about it. I have a couple scavenger builds around my house where I acted like that because I didn't want to get dressed and drive to HomeDepot.

Episode 2-2. Another very good episode. I haven't read the books, but I think I see where they are going with it. Still very dark picture-wise.... a little too much for my taste but if that's the worst I have to complain about....

Looking forward to the next one. So far, soooooo good.

Just a heads up that S2E3 is dropping early due to the holiday. It's listed as Wednesday but it'll be out tomorrow (Tuesday) night for us.

Oh, a nice surprise!

Interesting enough, this show is feeling more like Fallout in terms of different vaults (in this case silos). Very similar though with old tech, different versions existing. In Fallout there are vaults still active and vaults that have been decimated for various reasons.

Episode 2-3: Bad news, it's slow. The good news, is easily interesting enough that slow doesn't bother me in the least. Very, very good episode.

Interesting the amount of info that IT knows. Also, silo 17.

So the dust arrived and everyone died Solo said ? Like is not in the air ?

 

[UncleChris]

Episode 2-4. Bad news: Still just a tad too dark (the picture, not the plot) for me. Good news: Man oh man.... Bernard is one mean, nasty treacherous S.O.B. Tim Robbins is great in the roll. Some great scenes and the deceptions and sub-plots are outstanding. Wasn't real hot on Solo at first.... but his character has grown on me (he's been all alone for a very long time). Really looking forward to 2-5

Don’t watch if you don’t like spoilers.
