Silo on Apple TV

Silo is a mystery. 10,000 people are living together in an underground silo a mile below the surface of the Earth. Who made the silo? Nobody knows. Why are they in it? Nobody knows that either. What happens if you try to find out? Nothing good.

So naturally Juliette (Rebecca Ferguson) tries to find out.

What is the secret of the silo?

If you’re familiar with Hugh Howey’s Wool and subsequent books, you’ll already know: the Silo Trilogy – Wool, Shift and Dust – sold tons of copies to people who loved its dystopian SF. But at the outset all we know is that something horrible has happened, and that the one place you don’t want to be is outside the silo.

This looks like another big-budget Apple TV+ epic, and I’m hoping it’s as good as the teaser trailer suggests. Apple TV+’s on something of a roll right now, and it’s clearly investing heavily in original content rather than just throwing lots of stuff at the wall in the hope that something sticks. It may not be the biggeststreaming service, but I think Apple TV+ is often the most interesting.
