Never read the books but the show is so slow to begin with we watched it till episode 7. There are so many unrealistic levels of technology that the silo would not be able to maintain for 140 years. They have cameras in every room?… how do these cameras get repaired because last time I saw a piece of technology last that long was never. Yea they recycle stuff but they wouldn’t have enough parts to repair that many screens or cameras. Your writers or the author could of watched a few more prepared source material before outlining a story like this. They really don’t ration from what I saw either. Yea they have a mine but can they mine enough to build all the parts and technology. I don’t see them fabricating anything. Wanted to see more of the area where the boring machine was but they keep portraying the judicial gestapo who has more power then the mayor? Like the book of laws for this silo are stupid. Judicial can murder anyone they want and nobody ever sees it not even judicial. Honestly any show rotten tomatoes gives 5 stars is probably horrible.
