First post on here had to be this:

I just watched the last episode of the first season of Silo on AppleTV+, and now I can’t wait for season 2.

I’ll keep from spoiling in the post, but be warned: there will probably be some in the comments!

So - did any of you see it yet? What do you think?

I’m thinking about starting the books. Just to get more from this universe.

    I might not watch S2. My petty gripes:

    I found the casting uneven: original sheriff (Holston), Marnes, and Walker were superb, Juliette not always convincing (I get it, she was EP so you what are you going to do?), and both Tim Robbins and Common so wooden they took me right out of the story every time they were in a scene. Ugh.

    Soundtrack and intro visuals treading too close to Westworld. The intro wasn’t so intrusive because it’s a standalone segment, but the Westworld-y soundtrack themes kept stealing my attention.

    On the upside: the spiral stairs and cafeteria / cleaning ramp scenes were evocative and convincing.

    I’m more interested in S2 of Severance than S2 of Silo. And more interested in the upcoming Murderbot books than either of them. :-)

      What does EP mean?

      Also, I didn’t know they were adapting Murderbot. That should be fun.

        The books have such a specific in tone that it might not translate well. I’m not a “books > movies” purist but this one has me a little worried.
