Hi!
I was wondering if any of you all have seen the SILO apple tv series and what you all thought about it. I’m a bit late to the party, but thought it was a fun, mystery, sci-fi show with a cool premise.
“In a ruined and toxic future, a community exists in a giant underground silo that plunges hundreds of stories deep; there, people live in a society full of regulations they believe are meant to protect them.”
As well, has anyone read the book series? Does it have a satisfying ending? I’m interested to check it out, but don’t want to spoil myself. I’m debating just following along as a fun, intriguing, tv series rather than investing into the books.
My only problem with the show is: if they’ve all been living for generations in this silo, why do they have such varied accents?
I think it’s more of an issue that Juliette and her father’s actors couldn’t quite scrub their natural accents very well for the show. If you notice, young Juliette’s actress had an american accent which adult Juliette does not.
The mayor also had an English accent. And even beyond that, the American accents are different from each other as well and aren’t as homogeneous as they should be considering the setting. Its distracting.
Good point! I see that as a missed oppurtunity to reinforce the segregation and control, i.e. the people in Mechanical are so segregated from the people up top, and that’s even in how they talk. but tbh that doesn’t really track, they all just talk different. would have been cool, kinda like how accent is addressed in the Expanse
