Silo (2023)

dicobalt 2 points 11 months ago*.

I’ve only seen the first 4 episodes since the rest aren’t out yet. This starts with great scifi concepts, but it’s quickly abandoned so it can instead become yet another boring crime drama. Why do they try so hard to ignore the most compelling element: everyone stuck in this giant silo and nobody knowing why. It’s as if they hired writers from Law & Order who had no idea how to write a compelling scifi plot, so they fell back on what they knew. Even the circumstances placed upon the characters are cookie cutter, been there done that, many times. ChatGPT could be the producer and writer for this show and nobody would notice a difference. Maybe they will turn this plot bus around to a better destination before the season is over?

i get what u saying now. most shows with good premise like these get to a point and they get stuck so the go back to what they know murder mystery until they figure it out. the one thing im having issue is the show underestimate human resolve. it gives a lot of room for fear. since humanity have been able think. we have mange to walk beyond red line. our curiosity is part of our programming in our DNA. there no way you can keep 10000 people in dark for 144 years. i say you can’t keep 10 people. with out some one wanting to see. we went to the moon with a tin can. you can’t tell me u can keep us underground with out an answer. but good premise so i will keep watching.
