Season 2 Review: While Rebecca Ferguson’s steely magnetism once again keeps things from devolving into utter torpor, it’s a lethargic adventure whose entire premise is ultimately revealed to be founded on fundamental illogicalities. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The somewhat tired post-apocalyptic tropes upon which “Silo” is structured are made more palatable by the acting. ... There’s a conclusion to the series after 10 episodes that have mixed adrenaline with ennui. Read full review

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. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Even as the characters clamber into its vaults, the sense of claustrophobia grows ever so stifling. By the end of the two launch episodes you may hanker to see the outside too. Read full review
