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 was in the process of reading the book when I heard about the series. All I have to say is that , once again with tv adaptations, the writers are doing fan fiction. So while the premise amd character names are the same, too many characters have wildly different motivations and arcs. I don’t want to go to into spoilers so I’ll leave it at that. The books are way more interesting. The show dives too much into overused tropes like “forbidden love” and “protect the family”. Same thing happened to the Witcher series. A bunch of writers couldn’t hold back their ego on reinventing the material that already existed that was actually great and what the audience loved.

    So yeah read it if you liked the series, it’s all better
