No matter how much we look around, we do nothing but find crumbs on the ground to guide us. on the way to a nightmare. And dystopian series are there to remind us that things can get worse and leave the worst visions of the world behind. George Orwell like happy children’s stories. in the middle of the explosion TV series, we’ve had a few instances of these worse worlds, and when we wondered if that was enough anymore, a new title popped up that turned everything upside down.

Silo has become one of the latest hits on the platform, reaching a very respected product catalog. science fiction titles. The first season of Silo paved the way for its second season. Basisadaptation of the epic Isaac AsimovWhat was not an explosion as the platform managers wanted at the time, is now returning to our screens to hunt for new viewers.
Silo’s plan confuses some of the situations I mentioned at the beginning. After an apocalypse that we don’t know exactly when and how, Humanity survives in an underground silo this stretches out 144 floors above ground. Meanwhile, without elevator. A kind of underground confinement where society is ruled by a regime that does not accept opposition and punishes them by sending them to prisons. toxic outside the atmosphere. The social metaphor serves, because different social classes are scattered along the different levels of the huge tunnel. The upper classes live at the top, and those at the bottom are industrious, although they can bring down the entire system without their hard work. Something similar to what we saw in another dystopia, Snowpiercer. in that show Netflix now extinct, the last survivors of Humanity have survived on a perpetual moving train across a frozen land. Here we are in a tunnel with an equally hostile and dangerous exterior. Will it be long before we see dystopias set on other planets with toxic atmospheres for humans? moon or mars? The first episode of Silo helps us introduce ourselves to this new world and explain how its rules work because the truth is we don’t meet the series’ protagonist until the second episode.
Actress Rebecca FergusonWho will the fans of the saga remember? Mission impossiblestars Juliette Nichols, the silo’s new sheriff, who is given a badge against her will. But it doesn’t take long for him to see this legacy as an opportunity to settle his own accounts and delve into traumatic events from his past.

It was inevitable that we would meet corrupt governments and conspiracy theories in this post-apocalyptic society.

After that, there are spoilers for both the end of the series and how they might continue, so those who want to continue reading be warned. Episode ends with revelation the outside is as toxic as we’ve been told From the beginning. Conspiracy theorists already thought that outside the meadows were green, the birds were singing and the sky was blue, but no. It seems that these idyllic images were nothing more than holograms, the purpose of which we ignore for now. In the last frame of the last episode, we witness the following revelation: there are more silos in the world like the one we’ve known throughout this season, whose leaders are interconnected. I suspect that the hero was able to survive abroad for such a long time because of all this amount of food brought to the cell of those closest to him in the moments before he was “sent to the cleaning” (the way the system was executed by opponents) somehow they could protect from radiation. This made it possible for Juliette to go further than her predecessors and explore the outside world. According to the books, Juliette will have to get in touch with another silo where there is only one person left, because after an attempted mutiny, high hierarchies they decided to eliminate everyone in order to strangle them. An incentive for the managers of each silo to act together when it comes to keeping dissent at bay.
