I also had high hopes for the plot, having Ascension in mind, but there doesn't seem to be a broader vision. I bet they'll introduce a whole lot of new characters next season just to kill them off again. You can have antagonistic characters as protagonists (despite the contradiction) but for that, you need a counterforce, a levelheaded protagonist. This show is pure chaos. It's been some time since I watched the final episode and I'm still annoyed.… Expand

I could not finish the pilot. Being an engineer it is hard to get immersed in this universe as the science is so badly protrayed. None of the character inspire any kind of human emotion in me so for me it is NEXT!

When will Hollywood stop this casting diversity nonsense? You're wonderful for representing everyone under the sun in your show - if only you spent equally as much effort in writing a decent script.

Well, the books were not good, poorly constructed environment, weak and uninteresting characters (no, a Mary Sue is not an interesting model). So, it's normal for the TV adaptation not to be Sci-fi. It's not fantasy or dystopian either butWell, the books were not good, poorly constructed environment, weak and uninteresting characters (no, a Mary Sue is not an interesting model). So, it's normal for the TV adaptation not to be Sci-fi. It's not fantasy or dystopian either but it's a post-apocalyptic teenage drama. Why Teenage? In the books the author does not understand current technology, neither did the screenwriters (the vertical steam turbine which stops in mere seconds, restarts in the same lapse of time, have blades repaired like you remove a bump on a steel panel).

At more than 140 stories deep, the heat exchange becomes a problem of epic proportions, same goes for water circulation and air circulation and CO2 scrubbing.

The people relationships do not make any sense either: it's exactly the portrayal of adults relationships from a teenager's point of view: they have their hopes and dreams in mom and dad, the characters are not responsible for themselves (their destinies are chosen for them), they can go to school but have to be back to bed by 10pm, growing is scary (the characters do not dare speaking of the unforbidden truths) and if you steer too far from your parents' love you are kicked out of the family, etc.

In the screenplay in the first episode, Rashida Jones pulls a birth control device so big that not feeling it in your body is utterly unbelievable.

The whole series books/tv shows relies on grounds so shaky that's it's funny to watch it to pick it apart. Again, good concept but unbelievably poorly executed by serious peoples in boardroom completely disconnected from reality. And that is what truly breaks the camel's back.… Expand

I love what mystery shows can be.
Mysteries should be all about the final culmination, arrival at understanding. Instead many recent shows are traps. A compelling setup followed by going in circles until the viewership finally dies off.I love what mystery shows can be.

Unfortunately "Silo" very much fits into this group. The setup was very good and it seemed this show might be different. But "Silo" treads water at an Olympic level while also managing to raise an infuriating amount of inconsistencies in its own world-building.… Expand

Most of the show footage was done for the sake of adding hours. Just a boring video feed most of the time. The end of the series answers no questions.
