Spinning this way doesn’t push or pull air
The men and women live in a giant underground silo with different rules that they believe were put in place to protect them from the broken, toxic world above. Whether they’re exploring the stars, escaping dystopias, or making the world a better place, these women are what science fiction is all about. Season 1 covers the first 30 chapters of the book "The Wave" – the book has 82 chapters. The floor fans in several episodes spin in the wrong direction relative to the orientation of the blades.
My first review!
Featured on WatchMojo: The 10 Best TV Shows of 2023 You Need to Watch (2023). I read the Hughes trilogy years ago and really enjoyed the books. When I randomly scrolled through IMDB and came across SILO, I was immediately intrigued. I see quite a mixed bag of opinions and I can relate to some of them, here is my take on the first season.
First, I love dystopian literature!
The dystopian genre offers a unique psychological perspective on human nature in hypothetical scenarios. My bias towards the trilogy was solidified because Hughes was able to develop Orwell’s ideas within a hypothesis that relates to the modern world. Presenting the development of the human psyche in dystopian scenarios is a challenging task. I think Hughes did a great job, SILO captures most of these aspects in a refreshing way.
The acting is phenomenal for the most 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 viewers in a fast-paced world. However, the series manages to capture the atmosphere of a society living in a silo. Unlike the shallow storytelling in other shows, “SILO” has a great combination of character development and atmospheric focus.
Give it a try!
The only problem I have with the show is the lack of atmospheric development. They spend a lot of screen time chasing and capturing Juliet. They lack atmospheric development of the silo as a society. Naturally, it should appeal to a receptive audience.
