Season 1 covers the first 30 chapters of the book "Wool" – the book has 82 chapters
Men and women live in a giant silo underground with several regulations which they believe are in place to protect them from the toxic and ruined world on the surface.. Whether they are exploring the stars, escaping dystopias, or making the world a better place, these women are what science fiction is all about.. The fans on the floor in various episodes turn in the wrong direction, regarding the orientation of the blades.
Rotating this way does not push or pull any air
Featured in WatchMojo: Top 10 2023 TV Shows You Need to Binge (2023). My first ever review!I read the triology by Hughes years ago and enjoyed the books tremendously. When I randomly scrolled IMDB and found SILO I was immeadiatly intruiged.
The dystopian genre offers unique psychological perspective for human nature in hypothetical scenarios
I can see somewhat mixed opinions and I can relate to some of them, here's my take on the first season.First, I adore dystopian literature! My fondness for the triology solidified because Hughes managed to develop Orwellian ideas within a hypothetical relevant to the modern world. Imaging the development of human psyche in dystopian scenarios is a challenging task.
The acting is phenemonal for the most central characters
I think Hughes did a wonderful job, SILO captures most of these aspects in a refreshing way.It's not adaptation in the sense that it follows the storyline. It is based on the books, but naturally has to adjust to the viewers in a fast paced world. Nevertheless, the series manages to capture the atmosphere of a society living in a silo.
They lack atmospheric development of the silo as a society
In contrast to shallow story-telling 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. They spend a lot of screen time on the chasing and capturing of Juliettte. Naturally it has to appeal to a receiving audience.Give it a try!
