Adapted from Hugh Howey’s trilogy of dystopian stories of the same name, Silo is the best sci-fi series of the year. Created by Graham Yost, who cut his teeth on Band of Brothers: Pacific Rim or Even Justified, this dystopia plunges us into a future where Earth is being destroyed by toxic air.
The few survivors rest in a giant 144-story underground silo and live in a community bound by a series of very strict rules designed to protect them.
Citizens who break the law are sent outside the cabin, condemned to find death in the breathing atmosphere. However, slowly, the idea that leaders are lying about what is happening outside is gaining ground…
You can watch the first episode of the best SF series of 2023
Previewed at the CANNESERIES festival, Silo airs on Apple TV+ from May 5. Acclaimed by critics and the public, the SF series received an audience rating of 4.1/5 on AlloCiné. Its success earned it a renewal for a second season before its final episode aired.
And while the finale is expected on Apple TV+ on June 30, the streaming service has decided to offer the very first episode for free on Twitter! If you missed 2023’s best sci-fi series, hosted by Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, Dune), among others, you can catch up on its pilot and get an idea of Silo.
This first episode sets the stage for Miss Universe in an hour with the married couple Allison (Rashida Jones) and Holston (David Oyelowo) doing everything they can to have a child in the silo. And it is the events experienced by this duo that will cause upheavals in society and question the entire functioning of the silo.
The means match the ambition in Silo, which offers a visually stunning world that makes the oppression and imprisonment experienced by its characters abundantly clear.
In addition to its polished and austere aesthetic, the series questions our relationship with the world, our beliefs and our doubts. And in the very breathless exploration that makes SF series next to controlled thrillers, society sinks into a cerebral labyrinth like a silo.
If this first episode inspired you to continue Silo, you can watch the series on Apple TV+ via its platform or myCANAL.
