Silo

S1 had a decent start and end but the writing in between is of a very low calibre. To fumble an interesting premise and create no intrigue or interest in the world is a major failure. Many things don’t make sense. They’re under ground for 400 years but don’t have any culture or lore to speak of? They speak like they do in 2025? S2 is even worse, a pest of bad characters and weaponized boredom. Steve Zahn criminally underused. Virgin River in a silo, but without the cult appeal.

Ferguson is as terrific as always, and both Robbins and Iain Glen are also very good in their roles. Common, not so much. The pilot introduced the main mystery of the first season perfectly, and if the show can keep things interesting going forward while continuing to expand its world with as much imagination then the sky (rather than the ground) is the limit.

No replacement for The Expanse, but watchable.

I love everything about this. The setting, the mysterious screen in the dining hall, the characters, all good.

Another "mystery box" show that doesn't get it. Lost opened with Jack the handsome doctor, Sawyer the charming rogue, Locke the wise mystic and Kate as a total babe. Silo goes with a clueless sheriff, an old sheriff, a rebellious pencil pusher and an inept nerd. That's bad enough, but by the second episode they are all pushed aside for a 40 years old mechanic who acts like an angsty teenager and in the off chance the mystery hooked you in, the third episode is all about fixing a steam generator.

A good show with nice characterization and casting, plus amazing visuals that make you 'feel' the environment. The show is unfinished, so we could only hope that it sticks the landing.

From the very first moment, Silo pulls you into its world with an oppressive atmosphere and a story full of secrets. It's not just another sci-fi series-it plays with mystery in an addictive way. Each episode gradually reveals new pieces of the puzzle, posing questions and delivering unexpected twists that keep the tension high at all times. Its biggest strength, without a doubt, is the pacing. While the story unfolds at a measured pace, it... - Full Review

1x; Stopped after S1.

Great show that builds characters in a boring envierment

Initial episode is very strong, and there's initially some great world-building, but slowly becomes more soap opera than sci-fi world. Second season lacks clear stakes (why did Julia "saving" the few individuals in the other Silo matter? It didn't really, despite the over-emotiveness.) More deus ex machina than coherent world. Third season flashback actors/script are acutely terrible.
