It is an instant classic and the thrilling conclusion will no doubt leave viewers desperate for further visits to the silo, even if growing numbers of its inhabitants might be considering going out to clean.
A viewing of the first two episodes of "Silo" shows that it exemplifies the best of what the genre can be.

This is a fantastic, riveting show. Most of the naysayers seem to have been fans of the books - I never read them so can't speak to the show's fidelity to them. But as a source of inspiration - wow. This is couched as a sci-fi show, but it's really a ten part thriller/murder mystery - the pacing, acting and world-building is superb. Highly recommended.

SEASON 1
Amazing show. AppleTV is on a streak and this show doesn’t disappoint. The acting is amazing and the storyline never drops off. It’s just great.

SEASON 1
Powerfully distinctive dialogue, meaningful themes, and engrossing — but never showy — visuals make Silo’s first episode one of the most gripping premieres of the TV streaming era.
The pacing might seem a little slow for some, but in a sci-fi series adapting a rich world, the importance of delving deep into Juliette's backstory, into different realms of the silo, and into the history of the 100-year-old society can't be overstated. It's what makes the final moment of the series – and the very last shot of the drama – so impactful.
While there’s some thematic padding and unavoidable repetition in the imagery, tedium isn’t an issue. Yost and the actors always seem aware of how living in this place affects the ways its denizens think. That, along with increasingly gnarly riddles and relationships, keeps the show engaging.
The somewhat tired post-apocalyptic tropes upon which “Silo” is structured are made more palatable by the acting. ... There’s a conclusion to the series after 10 episodes that have mixed adrenaline with ennui.
Even as the characters clamber into its vaults, the sense of claustrophobia grows ever so stifling. By the end of the two launch episodes you may hanker to see the outside too.
Great series. Great set design. Great acting. **** in immediately. Definitely worth watching

SEASON 1
Started off strong and then completely petered out. Which really is a shame because the first couple episodes hooked me hard, but the lack of information, lack of character development, and a bland plot are just slaying me. Maybe I'm making a mistake not finishing the series but I can't take anymore of this silly melodrama.

SEASON 1
Two episodes in, there's been no effort to flesh-out any of the characters introduced. This lack of characterization has seriously undercut the emotional impact of certain events. Another weakness I find, the character behaviors seem irrational, silly, or just unrealistic. On the positive side, the production is excellent and the show does have Rebecca Ferguson. For now, I'll continue watching, hoping there's something original in the core mystery.

SEASON 1
A weak serial adaptation of the successful novel. The book must have struck a chord at the time, but it was only mediocre, as it only starts well and falls off sharply in the middle. The ending was then fudged, but it fit.
Nothing really fits here and only the first episodes are suitable for viewing.

SEASON 1
The first 2 episodes were strong, so much happened, and it seemed like we were going somewhere interesting. Then the rest of the season is SO VERY SLOW and with BORING backstories and flashbacks, nothing really happens, takes an entire episode for the main character to find a piece of paper. I'm going to fast forward and just see what the season finale has in store.
