Line of Events
Men and women live in a giant underground tank with various rules that they believe are designed to protect them from a toxic and ruined world. Whether they’re exploring the stars, escaping a dystopia, or making the world a better place, these women are the stuff of science fiction. Season 1 covers the first 30 chapters of The Wool — there are 82 chapters in the book. The fans on the floor spin in the wrong direction in various episodes relative to the orientation of the blades.
My first review!
Featured on WatchMojo: Top 10 TV Shows of 2023 You Need to Catch Up on (2023). I read the Hughes trilogy years ago and really enjoyed the books. When I randomly scrolled through IMDB and found SILO, I was immediately intrigued. I see some pretty mixed opinions, and I can relate to some of them, so here’s my take on the first season.
First of all, I love dystopian literature!
The dystopian genre offers a unique psychological perspective on human nature in hypothetical scenarios. My fascination with the trilogy was solidified because Hughes managed to develop Orwellian ideas in a hypothetical framework that is relevant to the modern world. Imagining the development of the human psyche in dystopian scenarios is a difficult task. I think Hughes did a wonderful job, SILO reflects most of these aspects in a refreshing way.
The acting is phenomenal for the central characters
It is not an adaptation in the sense that it follows the plot. It is based on the books, but of course it has to adapt to the audience in a fast-paced world. However, the series manages to capture the atmosphere of a society living in a tank. In contrast to the superficial narrative of other shows, «SILO» has a wonderful touch of character development and attention to atmosphere.
Of course, this has to appeal to a responsive audience
The only problem I have with the show is the lack of atmosphere development. They spend a lot of screen time chasing and capturing Juliet. They lack the development of the silo as a societal atmosphere. Try it!
