Season 2 Review:
Graham and his co-writers have effectively set the stage for a captivating finale and eventual season three. While it may sometimes feel like we are spinning our wheels here before we get to the good stuff, this show still remains one of the most puzzling and fascinating in the Apple TV+ library.

Season 1 Review:
Wherever the story ends up going next, there is a willingness to take the leap as long as she [Rebecca Ferguson] is there to guide us. For all the ways Silo can begin to get lost in itself, both it and Ferguson still manage to stumble upon something more fascinating, finding a way to march on despite all that is holding it back.

Season 1 Review:
If a hard science-fiction mystery show is what you’ve been looking for, then “Silo” more than fits the bill. Ferguson’s Juliette is the full package, a hard-hitting hero with plenty of range to carry the dramatic parts with equal power. Not to be outdone is a fantastic supporting cast that makes even the briefest of appearances memorable.

Season 1 Review:
The pacing might seem a little slow for some, but in a sci-fi series adapting a rich world, the importance of delving deep into Juliette's backstory, into different realms of the silo, and into the history of the 100-year-old society can't be overstated. It's what makes the final moment of the series – and the very last shot of the drama – so impactful.

Season 1 Review:
While there’s some thematic padding and unavoidable repetition in the imagery, tedium isn’t an issue. Yost and the actors always seem aware of how living in this place affects the ways its denizens think. That, along with increasingly gnarly riddles and relationships, keeps the show engaging.

Season 1 Review:
Sometimes the world-building in Silo is superb while its primary storyline flounders, and then sometimes that primary storyline catches fire and the world-building becomes nonsensical. ... But what matters most in shows of this type is how it approaches a destination. The finale of Silo arrived at a place that, while not really mind-blowing, had me curious to spend more time in this world and with some of these people.

Season 2 Review:
Shirley and Knox may take center stage, but they remain thin sketches of human beings, mainly useful as a means of advancing plot beats. For as much as the shift in focus to a collective movement diminishes such deficiencies, these shortcomings are in full force whenever we follow a character like Juliette, who fails to hold interest when she’s no longer a direct participant in the action.

Season 1 Review:
“Silo” is an unfortunately apt name for a series that feels as if it’s slowly spinning in circles, set in another dystopian future where the lingering remnants of humankind grapple with how they got there and what they do next. Apple TV+ has taken some big sci-fi bets (see “Foundation”), but despite its provocative themes this series inspires a little too much curiosity about when and how to find the exit.
