I gave Silo 4 stars because the TV series is very close to the books (Wool. Shift, Dust. However, I anticipate as the series progress (and I truly hope it does) the storyline may diverged a little. I already see subtle divergences but not too great; still keeping with the spirit and plot of the story, not taking away but in my humble opinion adding.
For instance the inhabitants do not wear color coded overalls as depicted in the books, the storm trooper like police are not in the books. I loved the singing during the Remembrance Day celebration … 🎶 “ hear the sound that rings it’s calling us to our duty…🎶.” I thought this to be and outstanding means of communicating to the viewer Silo ideology and dare I say… creed of the silo inhabitants. I interpret the song and event as saying no matter the circumstance you cannot squash humanity and purpose. I loved episode 3 ” Machines” it took me back to my USAF, power pro. days.
I especially loved the look and layout of the Silo; It’s just how I imagined it would look.
I hope Silo will last for a few seasons. At least long enough to get across to the viewer its incredible climax and thought provoking social message; a message that I would like to share my opinion on but doing so might reveal the plot of the story.
I ask the viewers to have patience with Silo it’s not your action packed Avengers, zombie apocalypse, SHIELD Agent (which by the way ran for nine years😩 that’s nine years the American public will never get back😩) ……
If the TV show follows the book the next two episodes should be very similar in flow and action to episodes 1-3 and should serve as a bridge to season 2 or conversely seal the deal for a 1 season run….I hope not
