I eagerly awaited the third season of the Silo series, whose first season was spent trying to understand its dystopian atmosphere and story. I can say that the second season was absolutely magnificent. Thanks to the mystery and suspense it created, it provided an incredible viewing experience, and I can say that the time spent trying to unravel the plot flew by.
The series' story follows classic apocalyptic assumptions; life on Earth has been ended by human hands, but it hasn't completely ended yet. There is no living life on Earth due to the toxic air. They are trying to survive in an underground tower, built years ago, the construction of which they don't know anything about, and this place is called Silo.
The founders have bound human life in Silo to certain rules. It can be thought of as a kind of constitution or holy book. Everything about past life on Earth has been destroyed, and no information has been left outside Silo.
Silo is built in a certain number of floors, each connected by stairs. I can say that the structure is fascinating. People's social lives there are also divided into classes, and the government maintains balance by establishing a separation of powers between the president and the judiciary.
The theme of the story fits well with its progression, and the story draws the viewer in. I can say that I liked the visual representation of the living spaces and that the class distinctions between people were more pronounced.
The most useful human profile for the Silo has been determined to be the lowest class, known as the Mechanics. They provide the Silo with its most important resources, air and electricity, but they also have the worst quality of life. They have always been the most oppressed class in rebellions, and the situation is no different in the Silo.
Rebecca Ferguson, who brings the character Juliette Nichols to life from the first episode, delivers a remarkable performance. The character's development throughout the second season makes the story even more compelling.
As a viewer, it's impossible not to get caught up in the mystery of the Silo. Is the world still a toxic environment? Are the Silo underground living areas truly the only habitable spaces? Are the so-called Founders real people, or are they artificial intelligence machines trying to control Silo? These and many other questions occupy the viewer's mind, but let me say right away, it's impossible to get answers to any of them. At least in the first two seasons, there are no answers, and the mystery of the story progresses quite successfully.
Silo is much more than a simple dystopia. They have successfully blended elements of suspense, mystery, and science fiction. Going outside is forbidden, questioning the outside is dangerous, and investigating is a death sentence. If you want to watch thousands of people living in a vertical living space under such strict rules, I definitely recommend the series.
Thank you for being here and reading. Take care, and goodbye!
