New Financial Year 2024/2025 Streaming - Silo - Season One

Again, I'm late to the party for Silo, however in some way, tuning in at a good time. Season two is set to premiere on November 15, 2024. Season one commenced back in. May 2023, so I am not too late to the Apple TV+ party.

I am again finding myself watching a lot of Apple TV+. From Slow Horses latest season to the new Vince Vaughn drama Bad Monkey.

Silo however, is a science fiction dystopian series created by Graham Yost, based on the Silo trilogy of novels (Wool, Shift, and Dust) by author Hugh Howey. 

Silo is set in a dystopian future where a community exists in a giant underground silo comprising 144 levels, it stars Rebecca Ferguson as an engineer who becomes embroiled in the mysteries of its past and present.  Alongside Ferguson, Rashida Jones, David Oyelowo, Common, Tim Robbins, Harriet Walter, Avi Nash, Rick Gomez, and Chinaza Uche also star.

The first season has received positive reviews from critics, particularly for the world-building, production design and Ferguson's performance. So want SPOILERS. Go below the trailer to see where we left off in season one!

In the episode, titled, Outisde. Juliette has Danny broadcast the outside footage to the whole Silo, but the broadcast is quickly shut down by Bernard. 

Billings is questioned by Sims on his condition, and Billings later tells his wife that they are making an exception so he can be sheriff. Juliette escapes to Mechanical, where she talks to Walker before being arrested. 

Bernard offers Juliette a deal: if she will go out willingly, he will tell her what happened to George and ensure that Mechanical will not be punished. Bernard shows Juliette footage of George jumping off the stairs to avoid interrogation. Bernard destroys the hard drive, but later recovers the disc after Juliette mentions a door underneath the Silo. 

Bernard sentences Lukas to the mines. Juliette goes outside and her helmet's display shows the exact same video footage of a lush landscape from the previous cleaning. 

She realizes the deception, discovering that the reality is the desolate view on the Silo's screens. Because Walker has arranged for the heat tape on Juliette's suit to be very good quality, instead of dying there, Juliette climbs the crater that surrounds the Silo and out of view of its residents. She sees dozens of similar craters, each with its own silo, and a ruined city on the horizon.

I will be back for season two in November. Currently the TV landscape over Australia's summer slack is looking a little grim, with Dexter reboots and a small amount of US network shows returning.

See you soon!
