Silo is an American science fiction dystopian drama television series created by Graham Yost, based on the Silo trilogy of novels (Wool, Shift, and Dust) by author Hugh Howey. Set in a dystopian future where a community exists in a giant underground silo comprising 144 levels, it stars Rebecca Ferguson as an engineer who becomes embroiled in the mysteries of its past and present.
So with 6 episode released of Season 2 so far, what are your thoughts about the latest season?
I binged watched the whole of Season 1 after it was released. I really enjoyed the season 1. The overall setting was compelling (you wanted to learn more about what was going on) and I thought they integrated the police procedural elements really well. Rebecca Ferguson does an excellent job as the lead.
Just started reading the first novel, I am enjoying it so far. I am hoping it will provide more in-depth lore and better character development.
Season 2 feels like a solid continuation of the series. Perhaps the biggest issue I have with season 2 is the pacing. There is a lot going with different arcs and character relationships, but we are already on the sixth episode (there will be 10 in total in season 2). I feel like some of the arcs are a bit rushed and disjointed. At the same time there are elements that I feel drag down the pace.
Some of the actions physics and plot elements (the concrete cutters) undermined the suspension of disbelief, but this I am willing to overlook this.
I also suspect Season 2 will end on a somewhat predictable and unsatisfying cliff-hanger. Admittedly, it would be difficult to match the novelty of the first season.
That being said I am looking forward to watching the remaining episodes in Season 2 and I will definitely watch the subsequent seasons.
