Nicely explained just visited Wikipedia they getting 10 episodes, the 10 episode to be released on June 30 title "OUTSIDE" :-/. . but idk Why would they lie tho? Is this silo suppose to be metaphor for Earth or something cuz we bound by to many law's and lies 😅😅
my only disappointment so far is that i found out about this show too early so now i can’t binge watch anything 😪 so now i have to wait for each episode to release… but yeah i’m here for whatever is going on in the Silo bc so far it’s great 🤝🏾
Apple TV has been producing some fantastic content recently, the first two episodes blew me away. The cinematography and score are top tier and I really enjoyed the way the story constantly jumps back and forth during the timeline giving us clues while also keeping us in the dark as the story progresses, I can’t get enough of it. The writing so far has been stellar and this show gives off serious Dune vibes and I’m all for it. Also, Rebecca Ferguson is so underrated she’s becoming one of my favorite actresses with her work in recent years. Can’t wait for episode 3.
Love the first two episodes. I just love the set design and grunginess of this post apocalyptic world. And thank you for a post apocalyptic show that’s not a zombie one. I like those too but sometimes one does not want to see one being eaten.
Please continue with these videos! This show is very high on my watchlist, but not many people seem to be talking about it... I appreciate your thoughts (and the community that can spring from these conversations)!
I definitely came away thinking that the "nice" looking outside was real and the reason the sheriff and wife "died" was due to a poison or knockout gas in the oxygen tank, but after you pointed it out the world in which we view on the computer and through Holstens vision is almost too perfect like some type of AR.
The suits project a fake reality. The leadership figured out that cleaners always clean the camera when they think the outside is green and livable (for whatever reason). Probably a combination of shock, excitement, happiness and a bit of hope makes people willing to do the last task.
Yes! So glad you're covering this. I love your videos, and this is one of my favorite series of books (I'm even doing a podcast, Wool-Shift-Dust, about it myself) - so this is the perfect marriage of two things I love!
@@ElysiaBrenner good podcast! I'll definitely be listening every week. I don't think I've ever been this excited for a TV show. Perhaps if I had played Last of Us I would have been equally excited for that show. I read Wool, Shift, and Dust after reading The Martian. I wanted to find something sci-fi and nerdy and I saw lots of people suggesting the Silo series. Anyway, I really appreciate the detail you two went into in the podcast. Was it Luke you're with? Names are hard. He had a great observation about the production design being done by the guy who did Empire Strikes Back. The design totally reminds me of Empire!
@@sonicclang Ahh, I'm so glad you're enjoying the podcast and the show! I'm pleasantly surprised by the level of excitement around the show already, with outlets like ThinkGeek covering it. This show could go big! 🤞
It's so great hearing someone's perspective who hasn't read the books! I won't spoil anything for you or your viewers, and I hope no one else does either. Needless to say, I subscribed. I definitely want to keep hearing your thoughts. You caught WAY more detail than I did. I was just so giddy to finally be seeing my favorite book as a show, I will probably need to watch it again before I can actually pick things up.
Silo saga is such a good trilogy of books. Lots of things already playing out differently as far as when certain events happen chronologically. But even though things are happening out of order the things themselves are pretty faithful to the source material. Liking it so far.
They've already changed a few things from the books and I'd say it's for the better in better fleshing out certain story dynamics. I'm excited to see where they take it.
Regarding the outside scene with the sherrif, not sure if anyone noticed, but in the shot after he's taken his helmet off, the camera focuses on his face/suit, but to the right, you see what looks like grey/overcast sky, a brown barren landscape and a dead tree. I also wonder if that is even outside at all, given that you can't see the horizon from any angle, as the area is convieniently blocked off by that circular hill. It sounds like they created that fake video 97 years into the project, perhaps to keep the population under control, so they could see there's no need or reason to rebel, because the outside is dead. It's starting to feel like this is one big experiment on the populace Do the dates on the drive's files mean the silo has been around for 240, not 140 years? Regarding the tunnel in the blueprints, I notice there's an image that pops up above that saying classified, I think I can make out the words "Level #Document Tunnel Properties"
Cause their brainwashed. All they know is the silo And what their told since birth. But I think over the 2 years the sheriff started questioning his reality.
The tunnel could be the way to another Silo or it could be to a survival camp. The mystery of the show isn't necessarily to learn the truth about "outside " but to learn about the manipulation/lies of the silo residents by the creators.
Regarding the "Double the Flowers" note I think the sheriff hid the drive and papers in the flower vase which they show him moving just prior to going outside. I think he moved them from the vent into the vase to make sure she gets them. Remember the sheriff bequeathed ALL his possessions to Juliette which would include the vase/flowers. Assuming she follows the instructions she'll come upon the drive when adding the flowers.
@@ChamiloDjamel Watching the show. They are all stuck in the silo, their world an illusion, some people wake up, go outside, “it’s so beautiful I must clean the sensor so that they know.” That’s the essential basis of the allegory and the essential basis of the show. I like how the author flips it however.
Read the books some time ago. Great books and a lot of oportunity to expand on the world in this show. The mistery regarding the outside is mostly the same in the books. Yet I want to point to a major departure from the book without giving spoilers (READ ON YOUR OWN WILL NEXT): In the book all who are send to clean remove their helmets, and this played an important role in the mistery of the outside. In the show only the sheriff removing his helmet seems like a blunder and I feel that the outside mystery will play out considerably diffrent from the book.
Really like Silo. My only complaint is the clothing. It just looks like our clothes. Culture, after over 100 years and lack of resources, would alter the style and materials of the clothes they wear.
I just had a random thought earlier about the outside. what if the outside isn't post apocalyptic, but the dust we see on the camera lens and the dead landscape is caused by an active volcano That might explain where the steam is coming from, a large river or reservoir has been channeled near the volcano, which super heats the water into steam. The dust on the lens might be the ash from said volcano. You never know! :P
I think he IS OK. We saw him drop down via the screen inside silo which contradicts the reality outside. I think he didn’t die cuz we didn’t see the body of his wife where he fell down either.
I was thinking the same thing. They're killing people bc why else would you need a helmet and suit if the air is so toxic it wouldn't be needed. It's also to show them the fake outside world through the helmet.
Honestly just wanna thank you and the guys from heavy spoilers because honestly I wouldn't have known about this show and many others if it weren't for you if he just scrolling most of the time
I had never heard of the source material for this new series from AppleTV+. So, this was a novel concept. Good on you, Apple, as novel concepts are exceedingly rare. Phenomenal acting. Appealing cast. Pacing a bit slow but like ‘Station 11,’ I think the payoff will be tremendous. Asking the engineers out there: 1. Given the tech of the Silo seems rooted in the late-20th-century, what known power source would be still viable 140+ years later? It’s obviously non-nuclear and one assumes produces little pollution? 2. At what point does air pressure become a factor in very deep structures? 144 stories below ground. Would the air pressure be tolerable for those at the deepest levels? 3. WTF, did the Founders forget to install a goddamn elevator? Escalators? Yikes. Lastly, perhaps the environmental suits used by those expelled from the Silo (Really, duct tape?!) not only project a false image on the view screen just long enough to fool the wearers to clean the camera but are also poisoned? It’s not the outside environment that is killing those poor SoB, it’s their suits!
The idea is almost the same : under ground city with greedy mayor!!! The movie "the city of ember" starring actress saorise Rohan!!! Overall wonderful performance!!!
Or maybe people going outside see the real environment and want to show everyone inside. The sheriff going near where his wife fell could be coincidence. The real question is...if they provide you with a suit and air tank....what is "killing " you? I think the air tank has a toxic gas in it and it kill or knocks out each person. The main goal of the people in charge is to make sure nobody wants to go outside at all cost. If going outside is a death sentence....why provide a evo suit?
Yeah , it is made to kill every person .. the suit is itself toxic . And IT guy BERNARD is the main villian . They do this to ..... (Spoilers) To protect humans from a nanotechnology that have the capacity to destroy humanity !
After seeing the first few episodes I started on the books, far from the show giving me spoilers it actually helped as the tv series is only based on the books not a copy of them. I totally loved the series and hope to see a season 2. Thanx Hugh for the excellent entertainment.
My guess is they build the silo during a nuclear war. The rebels knew the outside world had recovered and it was time to leave the silo, but the people in charge wanted to keep their power so they killed the rebels and destroyed the evidence. All about power and control. The deaths outside are not real. Just my guess. Apple have been making good new shows lately, sad 'See' was cancelled. We don't want the same old star wars over and over, we want fresh ideas, something new for a change. I just don't think the show will make it passed season 2, it is very slow sometimes. People don't like slow and talking, even though it's a budget thing that makes shows longer. Sad because this show is really interesting.
I really liked first 2 epsidoes, but i didnt one thing. They kinda show what happened in the future. And then show backwards how it all happened. And that is not that interesting for me cause I already know what will happen...
I've been excited about this lowkey for a few months now, getting moreso now it's dropped and people aren't hating it lol I dunno if you like Musicals, but Schmigadoon/Schmicago has a TON of easter eggs and trope references and goes very meta, you may enjoy that, or Tomorrowland, even though it's not as sci-fi. Also mebbe some Andor??? Looking forward to more Silo and more of the Amazon fallout series when it drops!
That line in the ledger begins with Crime. You can see the same word in the next entry. So that line says says that there were no crimes beyond normal Cleaning Day levels. Oh, and I think that other word is "unexpected".
the visor doesn't show any of the bodies outside. the visor is a image 100%, I say he dies because its toxic still. I bet its a manipulation to have them clean the screen before they die. this series seems insane. want to read the books to find out what's going on but glad youre covering !
@@Val_Halla777 good point tho, he dies after he takes his helmet off. if non toxic shouldn't he live still? I like the point but for a sci fi show like this.... seems little much no? plus it would make sense that the visor is a illusion as you do not see any dead bodies in the visor. its a manipulation tactic I believe to have them clean the camera just before they die. as no one wants to clean the window. this was said in the episode yet they still do. I dunno could be wrong but thought this might be the route they go
@@frednunziata5 it's the suit. There Breathing toxic air and since it takes a while to go outside. They've breathed heavy amounts of it by the time they clean the camera resulting in death. Saw another comment of someone saying it's the suit that kills, person said he read the books
@@frednunziata5it’s definitely the suit because the wife didn’t take her helmet off… interestingly enough that there’s a suit in the first place… when it’s not needed
@@teniseuna I've read the books of Silo and I can assure it's a sci-fi story like many other. Those who haven't read the books don't have the context of Silo either; that's not something bad "per-se", same happens with all mystery-box products. You're just a talking head kid, say Silo is better than From and you don't even know what From is about yet, don't have enough elements to judge it. And speaking about List, it's clear you didn't understand it, like all talking heads, just repeat slogans and cliches other say.
Two important scenes to think about are the one scene where rashida refrences animals that fly in the air and another scene is when juliette theorizes that when go in that much water you sink. These people dont understand what birds are and cant concieve of what swimming is
I feel that they pulled a bait & switch with getting us invested in Oyelowo and Jones's characters the switching to a lackluster underwhelming Ferguson.
I like how we know nothing about whats beyond those hills. Could just be a social experiment of sealing people underground for centuries to see what would happen. Or maybe sealing them in there in there for humanity to always have a backup seed very well in time before an actual apocalyptic event. Or maybe both.
1:31 I'm glad you said what the note said, because I could not for the life of me read what the very first word said. It looked like "Dowsle" to me, and I was like what. Who tf writes their b's like that in cursive?
I always thought the beautiful outside world was the reality and the destroyed world was the lie, and you get to see the real world for a brief second when the lights go off in episode 3 right before they are plunged into darkness. And the reason why they die is because there is poison gas being pumped through their spacesuits. If that's not the way it is, I have so many more questions. Like, why give them a lie in the first place that might be sent to them via their spacesuit visors? Why give them a spacesuit at all if they are just going to die anyways? And if the previous sheriff couldn't see his dead wife at all, it is highly coincidental that he was able to walk up and die right by her body. Great video!
Nightflyers, apart from its other problems, should have been just a miniseries. It was stupid on the part of SyFy to take a novella and greenlight a full series that ended its first season with a cliffhanger. Just stupid when you consider the average lack of longevity of most TV series.
My theory CD stands for Carbon Dioxide which according to Google is the primary carbon source for life on Earth. I have too many questions, but I think there was something wrong with the atmosphere and they build the silo to "save" humanity. Maybe there was a lottery and the people that didn't make it were the ones that fought trying to make it in. But that doesn't explain the outside world. Maybe the outside got fixed and they just left them in there as an experiment. Maybe there are other silos, too many questions that I have so far.
I have never read the series but I wonder how many episodes it's going to take for them to show that the people wanting to leave are being poisoned by the air in their suits by their security service? I don't want this to be a 4 season adventure to drag on.
I don’t really understand why those leaving would opt to put on the helmet and air supply. If you believe you are going to die, well…. The helmet clearly doesn’t help. If you believe it’s a conspiracy, maybe the helmet is how they knock you out.
This is show is going to be awesome, I'm already intrigued. I just wish we could binge watch it. I'm not sure what to think as far as theory wise. I want to believe the topside of earth is actually colonized and most of the people who go outside go on to live fruitful lives. But it doesn't make sense that they don't free the other humans in the Silo. The air can't be poisonous because there are birds flying around, (this is not shown in the doctored simulation video), and we know birds breath H2O as well. The only truly far out theory I can think of is..... Humanity has been underground way longer than 140 years, and somehow have become acclimated to breathing Carbon Dioxide, or because they're so deep underground have become acclimated to the pressure over the centuries? It just doesn't make sense to me why the Judicial system would want to keep Humans living in that muck, and dank atmosphere if they don't have too. Generations born with no real sunlight and body under the constant enormous pressure of living so deep within the earth's crust, can't be healthy humans, we need the Sun's energy to thrive.
I think maybe they are putting a poisonous gas or something in the "air" pack when they send them outside. That might explain the sheriff removing his helmet.
First i would like to say the the acting is superb. The dialogue is good and realistic. And the silo looks realistic there is nothing subpar here. So nothing negative there, but Its like watching a prelude to fallout where it never starts. You watch the same 60 minutes again and again for 10 episodes in the silo. And it never gets anywhere. They will never get out because they do not have the budget for this. If this gets picked up for a season 2 i am going to laugh my head off. Because you will watch another 10 episodes in the shelter where some one will try to get out and will then die. Which is what i assume will happen at the end of season one......
I wonder about the writings on the wall, if those were from people outside or workers with the digging machine for example. Also how the relics came inside the Silo. The history with rebels was maybe inside?
I hope the silo is on earth, but I'm also reminded of a show, that I can't recall, but wasn't the "silo" they lived in a rocketship in space? What was that show?
Dam, I came onto a Silo expose to say that the image of the outside is a red herring, the disk drive, which is a blue print for the Silvio and everything connected with it has the exact same image, so, we still don’t know what the outside looks like. I also think that the oxygen tanks that the cleaners wear has poisonous gas to kill them once they have cleaned (or not cleaned). I don’t like the idea that showing the clearers that image of birds, blue skies, green grass, etc.. was to get them to clean, it’s stupid. So the mystery continues, I have not read the books so I don’t know how the first book ended.
There are screens within the helmet of cleaning service, faking the nice nature. The harddrive contains software for these cleaning devices. Making people clean.
What did you think of SILO and should I continue doing these theory videos?

Lastly, perhaps the environmental suits used by those expelled from the Silo (Really, duct tape?!) not only project a false image on the view screen just long enough to fool the wearers to clean the camera but are also poisoned? It’s not the outside environment that is killing those poor SoB, it’s their suits!
Having read the books...I won't say anything terribly spoiler-y, but I will say, the number 18 on the hard drive is kind of a thing.
shush
shush
Spoil it for me
Don’t tell! 😮
@@PatriceFitzgerald do tell
The idea is almost the same : under ground city with greedy mayor!!! The movie "the city of ember" starring actress saorise Rohan!!! Overall wonderful performance!!!
The silo has a Mega City One feel to it, Judge Dredd would fit right in. Also, the theme music is a mix between Westworld and Severance.
I laso have vibes of Necromunda.

iam currently waiting for From new ep.. and then SILO debut with 2 ep.. gosh.. God must loved me soooo much 😂❤
Thanks for putting me onto this amazing series, the first two episodes were so interesting.
Or maybe people going outside see the real environment and want to show everyone inside. The sheriff going near where his wife fell could be coincidence. The real question is...if they provide you with a suit and air tank....what is "killing " you? I think the air tank has a toxic gas in it and it kill or knocks out each person.
The main goal of the people in charge is to make sure nobody wants to go outside at all cost. If going outside is a death sentence....why provide a evo suit?
To clean the view and die
Yeah , it is made to kill every person .. the suit is itself toxic . And IT guy BERNARD is the main villian . They do this to .....
(Spoilers)
To protect humans from a nanotechnology that have the capacity to destroy humanity !
Yep when the mayor talks about work and hoe he avoids daytime in the cafe it really shows how dark it is to have ppl clean that
You said it wayyy better than I did. But yes, that’s what I think too.
The suit kills…
Feels very much like Vault-tec
This show is sooooo good
After seeing the first few episodes I started on the books, far from the show giving me spoilers it actually helped as the tv series is only based on the books not a copy of them.
I totally loved the series and hope to see a season 2. Thanx Hugh for the excellent entertainment.
My guess is they build the silo during a nuclear war. The rebels knew the outside world had recovered and it was time to leave the silo, but the people in charge wanted to keep their power so they killed the rebels and destroyed the evidence. All about power and control. The deaths outside are not real. Just my guess. Apple have been making good new shows lately, sad 'See' was cancelled. We don't want the same old star wars over and over, we want fresh ideas, something new for a change. I just don't think the show will make it passed season 2, it is very slow sometimes. People don't like slow and talking, even though it's a budget thing that makes shows longer. Sad because this show is really interesting.
I really liked first 2 epsidoes, but i didnt one thing. They kinda show what happened in the future. And then show backwards how it all happened. And that is not that interesting for me cause I already know what will happen...
I've been excited about this lowkey for a few months now, getting moreso now it's dropped and people aren't hating it lol
I dunno if you like Musicals, but Schmigadoon/Schmicago has a TON of easter eggs and trope references and goes very meta, you may enjoy that, or Tomorrowland, even though it's not as sci-fi. Also mebbe some Andor???
Looking forward to more Silo and more of the Amazon fallout series when it drops!
Excelent breakdown. Please, keep going with this videos. Thanks for your time.
That line in the ledger begins with Crime. You can see the same word in the next entry. So that line says says that there were no crimes beyond normal Cleaning Day levels. Oh, and I think that other word is "unexpected".
I had no idea Apple was producing a show on Silo series! The books are pretty cool!
the visor doesn't show any of the bodies outside. the visor is a image 100%, I say he dies because its toxic still. I bet its a manipulation to have them clean the screen before they die. this series seems insane. want to read the books to find out what's going on but glad youre covering !
@frednunziata5
They could also die because the suit tank’s air is what’s actually poisonous..not the air outside.
@@Val_Halla777 good point tho, he dies after he takes his helmet off. if non toxic shouldn't he live still? I like the point but for a sci fi show like this.... seems little much no? plus it would make sense that the visor is a illusion as you do not see any dead bodies in the visor. its a manipulation tactic I believe to have them clean the camera just before they die. as no one wants to clean the window. this was said in the episode yet they still do. I dunno could be wrong but thought this might be the route they go
@@frednunziata5 it's the suit. There Breathing toxic air and since it takes a while to go outside. They've breathed heavy amounts of it by the time they clean the camera resulting in death. Saw another comment of someone saying it's the suit that kills, person said he read the books
@@frednunziata5it’s definitely the suit because the wife didn’t take her helmet off… interestingly enough that there’s a suit in the first place… when it’s not needed
@@nyraxes4744 well I haven’t read the books ….. thanks for spoiling 👍
Right now, the sci-fi mistery hit is called From. This show has a higher budget (as all Apple shows), but that doesn't make it better than From.
It's definitely better than from, lol. But From is decent too.
@@MzShaybutta better? based on what kid?.... I even know how it ends already, and it's another post apocalyptic/dystopian story as many out there
@@nicocba2007it’s better than from… from has absolutely no context whatsoever it’s being predicted to end like lost
@@teniseuna I've read the books of Silo and I can assure it's a sci-fi story like many other. Those who haven't read the books don't have the context of Silo either; that's not something bad "per-se", same happens with all mystery-box products. You're just a talking head kid, say Silo is better than From and you don't even know what From is about yet, don't have enough elements to judge it. And speaking about List, it's clear you didn't understand it, like all talking heads, just repeat slogans and cliches other say.
@@nicocba2007 it’s an opinion not facts… you’re taking this personal like it’s your show
This is definitely the best sci-fi show this year
Really liked the show. Its has similar aspects of Fallout
I’m hooked. May even grab the books it’s based off 😎
The most interesting thing is what was written in the ledger about the cleaning in 97
People who have read the book. Please don't drop every possible spoiler you can think of. 😅
Yes!!! I'm that one that wants to know too!!
Two important scenes to think about are the one scene where rashida refrences animals that fly in the air and another scene is when juliette theorizes that when go in that much water you sink. These people dont understand what birds are and cant concieve of what swimming is
I feel that they pulled a bait & switch with getting us invested in Oyelowo and Jones's characters the switching to a lackluster underwhelming Ferguson.
The best new show!
The books were awesome, so deep and full of story..
I like how we know nothing about whats beyond those hills. Could just be a social experiment of sealing people underground for centuries to see what would happen. Or maybe sealing them in there in there for humanity to always have a backup seed very well in time before an actual apocalyptic event. Or maybe both.
Seen the set at Hoddesdon Studios - even walked up the spiral staircase, which is 3 stories high, HUGH set areas.
I think the helmet pumps poison into the suit.
1:31 I'm glad you said what the note said, because I could not for the life of me read what the very first word said. It looked like "Dowsle" to me, and I was like what. Who tf writes their b's like that in cursive?
I always thought the beautiful outside world was the reality and the destroyed world was the lie, and you get to see the real world for a brief second when the lights go off in episode 3 right before they are plunged into darkness. And the reason why they die is because there is poison gas being pumped through their spacesuits. If that's not the way it is, I have so many more questions. Like, why give them a lie in the first place that might be sent to them via their spacesuit visors? Why give them a spacesuit at all if they are just going to die anyways? And if the previous sheriff couldn't see his dead wife at all, it is highly coincidental that he was able to walk up and die right by her body. Great video!
am liking it, the mystery is nice.
Who does the score? the Intro is reminding me of another fantastic score iv heard b4 but I cant place it. Thinking Game of Thrones or maybe Westworld
Fingers crossed they don't pull a Nightflyers! 😅
Nightflyers, apart from its other problems, should have been just a miniseries. It was stupid on the part of SyFy to take a novella and greenlight a full series that ended its first season with a cliffhanger. Just stupid when you consider the average lack of longevity of most TV series.
I agree. Such a shame it was canceled before we knew more. They rushed the ending.
Only seen the first two episodes and not read the books but my theory is there’s poison in the suits, not just the outside. But probably wrong lol.
My theory CD stands for Carbon Dioxide which according to Google is the primary carbon source for life on Earth. I have too many questions, but I think there was something wrong with the atmosphere and they build the silo to "save" humanity. Maybe there was a lottery and the people that didn't make it were the ones that fought trying to make it in. But that doesn't explain the outside world. Maybe the outside got fixed and they just left them in there as an experiment. Maybe there are other silos, too many questions that I have so far.
I have never read the series but I wonder how many episodes it's going to take for them to show that the people wanting to leave are being poisoned by the air in their suits by their security service? I don't want this to be a 4 season adventure to drag on.
I don’t really understand why those leaving would opt to put on the helmet and air supply. If you believe you are going to die, well…. The helmet clearly doesn’t help. If you believe it’s a conspiracy, maybe the helmet is how they knock you out.
Your voice & this series reminds me RAISED BY WOLVES
on the back of See comes Silo another one word epic from Apple big budget post apocalyptic drama at it's finest
This is show is going to be awesome, I'm already intrigued. I just wish we could binge watch it. I'm not sure what to think as far as theory wise. I want to believe the topside of earth is actually colonized and most of the people who go outside go on to live fruitful lives. But it doesn't make sense that they don't free the other humans in the Silo. The air can't be poisonous because there are birds flying around, (this is not shown in the doctored simulation video), and we know birds breath H2O as well. The only truly far out theory I can think of is..... Humanity has been underground way longer than 140 years, and somehow have become acclimated to breathing Carbon Dioxide, or because they're so deep underground have become acclimated to the pressure over the centuries? It just doesn't make sense to me why the Judicial system would want to keep Humans living in that muck, and dank atmosphere if they don't have too. Generations born with no real sunlight and body under the constant enormous pressure of living so deep within the earth's crust, can't be healthy humans, we need the Sun's energy to thrive.
I think maybe they are putting a poisonous gas or something in the "air" pack when they send them outside. That might explain the sheriff removing his helmet.
Maybe the suite that they are given when they leave is what gases them. maybe that’s why he took his off. He figured it out, but it was too late.
That camera outside reminds of 2001 a space Odyssey 😮 could be an Ai running the whole show. 🤔
This is "City of Ember" reworked and on steroids.
First i would like to say the the acting is superb. The dialogue is good and realistic. And the silo looks realistic there is nothing subpar here. So nothing negative there, but Its like watching a prelude to fallout where it never starts. You watch the same 60 minutes again and again for 10 episodes in the silo. And it never gets anywhere. They will never get out because they do not have the budget for this. If this gets picked up for a season 2 i am going to laugh my head off. Because you will watch another 10 episodes in the shelter where some one will try to get out and will then die. Which is what i assume will happen at the end of season one......
the suit is definitely why all the cleaners die
The only thing that bothered me about this series is "concrete doesn't break that way" everything else was great lol
1:23.
Thr screws not being tight will cause noise and he will end up checking it.
The air hose in the helmet kills them but it is a lush landscape
I wonder about the writings on the wall, if those were from people outside or workers with the digging machine for example. Also how the relics came inside the Silo. The history with rebels was maybe inside?
This show seems like a SnowPiercer mixed with the hunger games.
what if it is the suit itself that is somehow posion the the person who wears it? they all make it roughly the same distance,
Looks like City of Ember
Show is very interesting. Reminds me a lot of the Fallout games.
any connection to city of ember?
This video format would be good for Yellowjackets.
I hope the silo is on earth, but I'm also reminded of a show, that I can't recall, but wasn't the "silo" they lived in a rocketship in space? What was that show?
I think the ones that go out are killed by the suit, a poison of some kind. Yet most likely the Sheriff is still alive
I was thinking the gas they supposedly purge the air lock with.
Dam, I came onto a Silo expose to say that the image of the outside is a red herring, the disk drive, which is a blue print for the Silvio and everything connected with it has the exact same image, so, we still don’t know what the outside looks like. I also think that the oxygen tanks that the cleaners wear has poisonous gas to kill them once they have cleaned (or not cleaned). I don’t like the idea that showing the clearers that image of birds, blue skies, green grass, etc.. was to get them to clean, it’s stupid. So the mystery continues, I have not read the books so I don’t know how the first book ended.
There are screens within the helmet of cleaning service, faking the nice nature. The harddrive contains software for these cleaning devices. Making people clean.
sorry guys im gonna read the books can't wait anymore curiosity is killing me
