Spinning this way doesn’t push or pull air
The men and women live in a giant underground silo, with numerous regulations in place that they believe protect them from the toxic and ruined world above. Whether they’re exploring the stars, escaping a dystopia, 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 Wool — the book has 82 chapters. The floor fans in various sections spin in the wrong direction in terms of blade orientation.
My first review!
Featured on WatchMojo: 10 Best TV Shows of 2023 You Need to Watch (2023). I read Hughes’ trilogy many years ago and loved them. When I randomly scrolled through IMDb and found SILO, I was immediately intrigued. I see somewhat mixed reviews, and I can relate to some of them, 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 passion for the trilogy was strengthened because Hughes managed to develop Orwellian ideas in hypothetical scenarios 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 captures most of these aspects in a refreshing way.
The acting is phenomenal on the most central characters
It is not an adaptation in the sense that it follows the plot. It is based on the books, but naturally it has to adapt to the audience in a rapidly changing world. However, the series manages to capture the atmosphere of a society living in a silo. Unlike the superficial storytelling of other shows, «SILO» has a wonderful combination of character development and focus on atmosphere.
They lack developing a silo atmosphere as a society
The only problem I have with this show is the lack of atmosphere development. They spend a lot of screen time chasing and catching Juliette. Of course, they have to resonate with the audience. Try!
