Apple’s best sci-fi series is back with a perfect 100% critic score

The debut in just a few days siloThe highly anticipated second season is as good an opportunity as any to make the following reminder of the series’ streaming home, Apple TV+.

While it’s true that Apple’s streamer only has a tiny fraction of the subscriber base of major streamers like Netflix, there’s really no other streaming service that delivers top-notch sci-fi programming as consistently as Apple, with shows like Netflix Foundation, For all humanity, Severance payAnd silo All are among the best titles in the genre that a streamer or network has released in years.

Before siloOn November 15th, the second season premiered on Rotten Tomatoes with a perfect 100% critic score, a nice improvement from the first season’s 88% rating. That gives the show an average critic score of 94% at the moment – in other words, near perfect and much closer to a fair rating for the show than the completely insane audience score of 66%. Seriously, I think some of them game of Thrones Fans must have wandered over silo or something, you expect big explosions or action-packed scenes. What it offers is thoughtful, slow-paced sci-fi, and it’s one of my favorite shows on television right now.

That’s thanks in large part to Rebecca Ferguson’s Juliette, a trained engineer who is essentially an extension of the audience. The questions she asks about the silo in which the last of humanity lives crammed together due to the apocalypse-scarred wasteland above Earth are the same questions we would ask if we were in her shoes. She is also sharp, brilliant and resourceful and believes that anything that breaks should at least be examined before it is thrown away. And this also includes the situation that banishes humanity to its desolate silo.

The series is based on Hugh Howey’s New York Times bestselling novel series, and the last thing we saw in Season 1 was Juliette being thrown out of the silo to “clean up.” It was essentially a death sentence as we saw others go outside and wipe down the silo’s viewing windows before collapsing and presumably dying. However, Juliette not only doesn’t die. She’s taken aback when she sees what other silos look like within walking distance around her, which immediately suggests all sorts of other possibilities for the show’s narrative (what else did we think we knew could be wrong?)

I’ve started watching press previews for Apple’s second season and I just want to say that the world of silo will soon become much larger. Juliette, for example, enters another silo that appears to be completely deserted, even though it looks exactly like the one she came from. There’s a total of a guy with a crazy look in his eyes who hides behind a protective door and threatens to kill Juliette if she tries to open it. Long story short, I can already tell that the end of season two will have the exact same reaction from me silo Season 1 did – that it will end and I’ll rush to get my hands on more of Howey’s books, desperate to find out what happens next.
