It is an instant classic and the thrilling conclusion will no doubt leave viewers desperate for further visits to the silo, even if growing numbers of its inhabitants might be considering going out to clean. Read full review

The first episode alone is a grabber, defying our every expectation. Can’t say how. Throughout, the storytelling and world-building maintain the highest standards. And that final episode promises there’s even more yet to come. If you love “Dune,” this is a gimme. Read full 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.

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. Read full review

You know the drill. What makes “Silo” so fascinating is the shifting points of view, the intriguing characters on all sides of the moral compass, and the slow and intense build of the storyline. Read full 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. Read full 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

Boa demais. Como quase todo conteúdo original da Apple TV+. Pra quem é fã de ficção científica com teor social, vale conferir.

Loved the books and this is a very good version so far. There will be many twists and turns throughout.
The acting is superb and the pace is perfect. I binged both of the episodes so far and cant wait to see the next one!

Started off strong and then completely petered out. Which really is a shame because the first couple episodes hooked me hard, but the lack of information, lack of character development, and a bland plot are just slaying me.

Disappointed, another series that will probably get a second or third season before the producers realize it has no substance in the story. Character building in these first two episodes has left me uninterested in what happens to them. I pine for good writing.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Interesting idea. Unfortunately, a lot of logic errors...first of all - ATTENTION: SPOILER - if they go out voluntarily and believe that everything is good outside, why do they put on the helmet and the tank with the poison. That makes no sense! As soon as I saw the tank and helmet in the first episode, I knew there was poison in it.... Then why are the "doubters" of the silo (even the sheriff!) so naive and stupid and couldn't realise this???!! If they are so stupid, then they should be locked up ...or die!

If the rest of the story is similarly "logical", then there is no point in watching any further. Seeing stupid people making dumb failures is not entertaining.… Expand

Silo as a TV series embraces monotony to a fault. It's the kind of show that presents something relevant only in the final minute to make you want to watch the next episode, but the 59 minutes before that are a pain to watch...
