Plot
Men and women live in a giant underground silo with multiple regulations that they believe are in place to protect them from the toxic and ruined world above ground. 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 “Wool” – the book has 82 chapters. The floor fans in various episodes rotate the wrong way, relative to the orientation of the blades.
First of all, I love dystopian literature!
Featured in WatchMojo: Top 10 TV Shows of 2023 You Can’t Miss (2023) My first review ever! I read the Hughes trilogy years ago and thoroughly enjoyed the books. When I randomly scrolled through IMDB and found SILO, I was immediately intrigued. I can see somewhat mixed opinions and I can relate to some of them, here is my take on the first season.
It is not an adaptation in the sense that it follows the storyline
The dystopian genre offers a unique psychological perspective on human nature in hypothetical scenarios. My fondness for the trilogy was solidified because Hughes managed to develop Orwellian ideas in a hypothetical scenario 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 great job, SILO captures most of these aspects in a refreshing way.
The acting is phenomenal for the more central characters
It is based on the books, but naturally has to adapt to the viewers in a fast-paced world. Nevertheless, the series manages to capture the atmosphere of a society living in silos. Unlike the shallow storytelling of other shows, “SILO” has a wonderful blend of character development and atmospheric focus. The only problem I have with the show is the lack of atmospheric development.
Give it a try!
They spend a lot of screen time chasing and capturing Juliet. They lack an atmospheric development of the Silo as a society. Naturally, it has to appeal to a receptive audience.
