    I know this is how the books handle this as well, but I don’t like the whole flashback plotline that reveals how the silos came to be. It reminds me of how bad stories lean on exposition, rather than letting the main characters discover and solve the mystery.

      Yeh, the second book was fucking trash because of this. I didn’t really care about that arsehole and his back story about how the silos came about and his journey to getting into one.

      The only reason I slogged through the third book was to try and find out what happened but the ending really wasn’t worth it IMO and I feel the show has already gone that way. They already changed up enough details to make me lose some interest but on the whole I think the show is going to end up an even worse rendition of an already mediocre book series.

      It is a shame as I loved the concept and the first book was great but meeehhhhh
