Even if half of Season 3 may test some patience, “Silo”’s back half will remind the already committed that Yost and company know what they are doing and have an endgame in mind.
-
Season 3 feels like a critical culmination of the first two seasons in regards to what Juliette discovered in Silo 17 and what our other characters learned from the Season 2 rebellion. It's great, exciting storytelling.
-
For all its murky longueurs, Silo is a show full of ambitious and fascinating ideas.
-
Silo is going in a somewhat new direction in Season 3, and we’re here for it, mainly because it sets up a few new conspiracies while answering some of our questions about the show’s mythology.
-
Dispiritingly, the show uses her near fatal trauma as an excuse to dole out one of the most tedious of all overused dramatic devices: the main character who has amnesia. .... Maybe Silo knows it needs to lighten up, so season three introduces a new timeline, centuries ago in Before Times that look a lot like the early-to-mid 21st century.
-
The flashbacks are fast-moving and paranoia-soaked in the tradition of the best political potboilers. There’s a great cliffhanger ending, too.
-
Revealing just enough to satisfy while withholding enough to obsess over, Silo remains one of television’s smartest science-fiction dramas. Yes, it demands patience. But the rewards are handsome.
-
The less-interesting characters taking the spotlight and the drag of the early timeline make for the first season of “Silo” that often drags. Having said that, the ensemble is still strong enough and the concept sturdy enough that the show never completely collapses.
-
All in all, the show did a solid job with Juliette and Ferguson tapped into a new side of the character, but it was just not as strong as what Silo season 3 does with its past storyline, and that is okay. .... The dystopian series has done a great job of setting up what comes next, with an exhilarating finale.
-
Silo proves once again why it’s not only Apple TV’s best shows, but also one of the best shows currently on television. Thoughtful, gripping, and beautifully made, it sets a new standard for what prestige sci-fi can be.
-
Apple TV has never shied away from going big with its sci-fi shows, but this truly unforgettable third run proves Silo is in a league all of its own.
-
Without going into too much detail, I'll just say that I found this storyline [Daniel and Helen's] to be a bit more interesting than what was happening to Juliette, even though Ferguson remains the best actor on the series.
