Hi!
I was wondering if any of you all have seen the SILO apple tv series and what you all thought about it. I’m a bit late to the party, but thought it was a fun, mystery, sci-fi show with a cool premise.
“In a ruined and toxic future, a community exists in a giant underground silo that plunges hundreds of stories deep; there, people live in a society full of regulations they believe are meant to protect them.”
As well, has anyone read the book series? Does it have a satisfying ending? I’m interested to check it out, but don’t want to spoil myself. I’m debating just following along as a fun, intriguing, tv series rather than investing into the books.
I’ve only read the first of the series so far (WOOL).
The TV show is only about a third of the way through that first book.
As a mechanism for getting plot into your eyeballs, it’s an effective read. It’s the kind of prose that more established authors might be a bit snobby about (the whole Maintenance metaphor gets over-used) and I genuinely mistook it for a YA novel (which SILO fans don’t like anyone saying), so I’d only recommended it if you want to get yourself ahead of the TV show.
That said, every TV show has a 5 season play nowadays, so you could read the books in a few days, or just wait about 10 years.
