Anyone here watching Silo? The 8th episode just aired which means there are two episodes left. So far I’ve been enjoying this a lot despite some people claiming it was a little slow in the middle. It’s only 10 episodes long so even the whole thing goes by pretty quick.

      Severance is the show I will always recommend to anyone else that will listen. It’s fantastic.

          Foundation has it’s moments, anything to do with the three clones is pretty interesting. But overall a pretty mid show, especially the last part on the Foundation which just turns into boring action

      Nobody has mentioned this yet, but the comedy platonic is really friggin good. If doesn’t look good in the trailers, but it has been a really fun show to watch. I look forward to each new episode.

    This show has been so good, so much fun. Such a great mystery thing going on. I saw a great interview with the author on the Ty and That Guy podcast (which I highly recommend), and he’s super interesting.

    Purchased the first book and I’m excited to start it.

    So far I’m digging it, but I’m concerned that this slow burn first season will just fall flat season 2 like a lot of mystery dramas do. Haven’t read the books or anything though

    Like another commenter I keep forgetting to watch it because I don’t check Apple TV often. I loved the books when I read them years ago and was glad to see it got renewed. I think I found some weekend plans

      Apple TV has had a few nice science fiction shows recently. I really liked Severance and Foundation was ok.

    I keep forgetting about it because I don’t look on Apple TV much. I love Rebecca Ferguson and Rashida Jones so I should. Thanks for the reminder!

    Yep, great show! A little slow to evolve the story line, but it has huge potential and I look forward to each episode.

    I’m enjoying the series, and haven’t found it dragging.

    I’ve been holding off buying Wool before the season finishes its release, but expect to chew through them quickly once it’s done.

    I am though somewhat annoyed with the cliffhanger at the end of every episode. I have to wonder if this is something Apple executives have required, but it’s tiresome.

      The cliffhangers are quite blatant. Are they worried people will just stop watching if the main character isn’t in the middle of jumping off something? This level of cliffhangerness seems kind of outdated. Thankfully I am patient so it doesn’t matter too much.

      Cliffhangers are HUGE factor in determining whether I will watch a series week-to-week or wait-then-binge. I just watched Silo eps. 1-8 this past weekend…it’s a good show, but I wish I would have waited another two weeks, tbh.

    Just saw the pilot yesterday and was surprised how quick it moves for a mystery. Hope it keeps up the momentum as these things can become a bore. Maybe I should read the book(s?)
