This is one of those intensely watchable, peerlessly silly sci-fi shows in which people repeatedly say things like: “But you cannot leave the silo!” Go to Full Review

2/5
Perhaps, having paid for the silo, the producers wanted their money’s worth. But even as the characters clamber into its vaults, the sense of claustrophobia grows ever so stifling. Go to Full Review

Great performances from its leads, excellent production work to create the universe in which the story unfolds, and a narrative pulse that keeps us in constant suspense. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

…as with Lost, there’s something about the way that this particular predicament is patiently explored that gives it some philosophical and intellectual heft…one hopes that Silo, unlike Lost, has some good answers for the questions it poses… Go to Full Review

Peppered with a fantastic cast of character actors, terrific directing, and the promise of a bigger future, Silo is one of my favorite new series in a long while. A rich dystopian fantasy that deserves all the praise it gets. Go to Full Review

Christian M 1d Why is Common such a bad actor, he’s been given tons of opportunities to hone the craft and yet….. please limit his interactions with the plot, that’s how John Wick stayed somewhat unscathed. I really wanted to love the show more….then Common. See more Domm D 3d Great series, lots of great mystery to wonder about and try to solve. I never felt that the story was being too heavy handed with any of its clues. It has been surprising me throughout. I love a good story that allows me to take an active role in figuring out what is going on. Lots of 'show don't tell' going on imo. The best critique I can think to give it would be in pacing. Sometimes it feels rather slow. I think it comes from the vibe they are going for but I think there are some parts that feel like they could have been a little bit quicker to move on. Overall I would strongly recommend this to anyone who likes an engaging story. I think active viewers will have a good time here, as I did. See more MBI M 5d While the show is interesting, thought provoking and quiet engaging the overall effect is spoiled by the character of Juliette Nichols who comes of as extremely manipulative, pushy, angry, selfish, morose and not particularly intelligent or considerate. All the other characters are pretty strong and have depth so it is difficult to be sympathetic with Juliette See more Miguel A. @ViktRank Nov 14 Great Show! One of my favorites See more Paul S Oct 29 I may be going against the grain... But; my view is that the 10 episodes of Series one could have been told more effectively in 3 90 minute episodes. A limited mini series. Also, many of the strands of the story are absurd, albeit expertly integrated into the plot. There is so much filler in these episodes that the writers would have been better advised to pursue a career in dentistry. Not terrible but not great. A shorter limited series would have been so much better. Fallout achieved almost everything that silo's 10 episode run did in a single episode, and did so with humour that highlighted the ridiculous nature of human existance; especially in this genre of dystopian nihilism. See more Janusz C Oct 14 Yes! God, yes! Finally a good Fallout series that we wanted and deserved. What was that? "Its Silo, not Fallout" you say? Well it has more vibe of first two Fallouts than the new Fallout show and games made by Bethesda. Now thats cleared. We can go on. I can recommend this series to everyone and anyone who is into post-apo stories will love it. The pacing is perfect. The series is ... well serialized. That's to say its not episodic and its whole a complete story. While watching it you get that its a book adaptation, not something written for a tv series. And thats good! Perfect even! Sure, IF you have read the books you will see lot of differences. Its impossible to perfectly adapt a book while at the same time make good show. But this is the closest to a perfect book adaptation since Lord of the Rings. Sure, there IS a lot of cut content but at the same where is LotR book 6 (if you've read it you know its 6 "books" published as 3 physical books for technical reasons)? Back to the Silo. The story is great, the world is great, the characters, the pacing, the history, character development, twists. All top notch. I cannot shake the feeling that Rebecca Fergusson tries to act like Katee Shackoff a little bit but still thats a good thing as she can pull off giving this impression and yet be her own character. Iain Glen is kind of like you remember him from game of thrones. Lonnie Rashid (google him) is kind of complicated love-hate character, also fun to watch. And of course Tim Robbins! Without spoilers all I can say is that he is one of the main characters that captivates audience in all scenes that he is present in. MUST WATCH. See more Read all reviews
