![]() ![]() But for the first time I've ever done this watching any series, I decided to binge-watch the entire season again this past week prior to the finale release (I was watching each episode weekly upon release). Wow what a season finale that was, I didn't see that coming and I can't wait for what happens next! Leading up to the release of the finale, I thought this show had many filler episodes so my average episode rating was between 6 and 8. Though a suspicious mind will pick on some obvious conspiracies early on, there are mysteries being uncovered that will keep me watching. ![]() There are elaborate sets and good CGI to provide a believable atmosphere. ) The show appears to be pretty decent, with good production values. (But as you can tell from the show poster, they are guest stars who will give way to the regular cast, with Rebecca Ferguson as the lead. Good acting by Oyelowo, with familiar faces in n Rashida Jones and Will Patton. That's the premise, and while not entirely original (think Snowpiercer, Dark City, etc.), there is enough novelty here and seems well-executed for a TV series. A power structure forms, creating a stratified populace, both figuratively and literally, from top to bottom of the silo. And when that status quo that preserves the order is questioned, enforcement and punishment follows. It's an interesting take on the underground bunker story, of a people who survived underground for such a long time that a civilization arose within it, with lore, myths, beliefs, rituals and ceremonies that are rooted in events that have been forgotten, and a status quo social structure is founded. This did not detract from my enjoyment of Silo and I'm not sure who came up with the idea first in any event as I don't know when the book that Silo was based on was written. To avoid spoilers I won't say the name of the film, but I'm sure that others know the one that I mean if they have seen it. There is a significant element of the ending that is identical to a reveal that happens in a film. I am not sure where it is all leading yet, but it is certainly keeping me engaged. There are good characters well portrayed and something is gradually being unravelled with regard to the history and operational details of the silo. I am several episodes in now and I am enjoying the acting and the story. It is almost like hearing the voices of actors in the theatre, it is so good. It is rare to hear the voices of actors with such delightful clarity. Perhaps it's something to do with the acoustics of a silo? But I think not, I believe it is down to some very good work by the movie sound people who record and edit the voices of the actors. I very frequently struggle to hear what actors are saying in shows and films. My compliments to the sound people, this is a small miracle. The sound of the actors' voices is very clear. ![]() Something has stood out from the beginning. ![]()
