    Some people could say it's too slow.
    But someone want more plot than action, so you always have marvels films

    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!

    Very strong and intense opening with a new take on a somewhat familiar concept.

    Highly recommended if you like distopian fiction + mystery and following several characters.

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

    Silo is an Apple TV series of the steampunk genre (lots of steam, large metal gears computer CRT green displays from the 1960s, etc). Like most Apple film, Silo is of good technical quality crafted by skilled individuals. But, as I always say, "it is very difficult to buy quality creativity for any amount of money".

Like most Apple film, Silo is of good technical quality crafted by skilled individuals. But, as I always say, "it is very difficult to buy quality creativity for any amount of money".

    In the case of Silo, the writing, casting, acting, directing and editing are very good. Obviously, any film will reach only a certain portion of viewers. Silo may not be to some individuals' liking.

    To me, the acting is what makes this film worth watching. I'll make a comment regarding Lonnie Rashid Lynn's (aka Common) portrayal of Robert Sims, the head of security for Judicial... which strikes me as very odd and initially I very much did not care for. But, his efforts are starting to grow on me... perhaps he is learning to act as the series progresses.

    Anyway, I haven't seen all of season 1 - and, perhaps my rating is premature (which never stops professional film critics from forming an uninformed opinion). I may come back and change my rating after I have seen the last episode of season 1.
    **************************************************************
    I've watched episode 10 of season 1 and to me the overall structure of the plot was interesting and the last episode ties various threads of the story to a reasonable season 1 conclusion. Obviously, assuming season 1 is primarily groundwork for a larger idea - it often takes 2 or 3 seasons to develop an overall plot. Often times viewers might not have the patience for a lengthy development of plot points. There are lots of professional film critics who can't mentally focus on a 2-hour movie. Sometimes a writer will make the first episode or even several early episodes of season 1 as a hook to involve potential viewers more than actually developing the stories ultimate end point. In the case of Silo, I think season 1 was mostly geared to groundwork and viewer engagement. Most professional film critics probably only watched 1 or perhaps the 3 episodes of a series so they never know if a film develops into something worthwhile.

    **************************************************************
    I had an additional thought. I have recently written 2 reviews of films I rated highly that had a rapper for one of the lead roles. This is the second time I have said I did not like the rappers acting. There may be something about a rapper's artistic skill set that I do not understand. I'm going to self-evaluate this issue in the future.    … Expand

    First couple episodes and the last couple are really the meat and potatoes of this show. The rest is stale bread the waiter gives you as you wait for the real meal.

    Superior dystopian sci fi set follows a dozen or so occupants of an underground society as they manage their daily lives within a mystery as occupants begin to question the reality of their environment. Fascinating writing with memorable performances from the talented cast. Can't wait for series 2!

    This is a fantastic, riveting show. Most of the naysayers seem to have been fans of the books - I never read them so can't speak to the show's fidelity to them. But as a source of inspiration - wow. This is couched as a sci-fi show, but it's really a ten part thriller/murder mystery - the pacing, acting and world-building is superb. Highly recommended.

    Лучше всего сериал смотрится визуализацией книг Хауи, но если отстраниться, то и самостоятельным произведение пока оба пилота просмотрелись на одном дыхании.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's very good, faithful to the book. The silo looks very much like what I imagined. There's a little bit of excess melodrama in the score and the cinematography is sometimes contrived, but for the most part it looks and sounds excellent. The acting can't be faulted. The pacing has issues for the middle of the season. They could have removed 3 episodes and it wouldn't have mattered all that much. The show didn't hook me the way the book did. Strangely I find myself rating it the same as I rate Foundation, a show that is like crack to me, and that's probably because the writing and acting is far more consistent. It's well made, it's just a little low risk with its choices. Everything is the way it should be, almost to a fault.… Expand

    Powerfully distinctive dialogue, meaningful themes, and engrossing — but never showy — visuals make Silo’s first episode one of the most gripping premieres of the TV streaming era.

    A viewing of the first two episodes of "Silo" shows that it exemplifies the best of what the genre can be.

    While Silo does occasionally have the (not unwelcome) gait and tone of an old Saturday syndicated show (Deep Space Nine comes to mind), Ferguson—in all her stern command—lends the series a necessary heft.
