Welcome back Silo<\/a> Science Fiction Lovers,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Silo season two has brought science fiction excitement to viewers again thanks Apple TV<\/a> to the talented AMC Executive Production Team<\/a> of Graham Yost<\/a> (series creator), Remi Aubuchon<\/a>, Fred Golan<\/a>, Nina Jack<\/a>, Morten Tyldum<\/a>, Ingrid Escajeda<\/a>, Michael Dinner<\/a>, Rebecca Ferguson<\/a>, each have brought the work of Hugh Howey<\/a>\u2019s to life on our screens the past two seasons<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Outperforming the expectations of TeamWHR<\/a>, we are pleased that the series has been renewed for a third and fourth seasons to dovetail the trilogy of novels (Wool, Shift, and Dust) by Howey. What is especially nice about Apple TV has ensured that an appropriate ending is mapped out well in advance for each series. <\/span><\/span>This is especially true when compared to the decades of science fiction series on United States broadcast television that sometimes treated viewers like trash, often cancelling series mid stream or without providing an ending worthy of the devotion to their viewers. <\/span><\/span>While some series we covered did receive an appropriate ending seasons, far too often, superb series such as Terra Nova<\/a>, Alcatraz<\/a>, Primeval New World<\/a>, The Event<\/a>, V Series<\/a>, and more, did not. Recently the same channel that broadcast Day of the Dead<\/a> and The Ark<\/a> left viewers hanging with no satisfactory resolution for either program. Even top rated series such as Stargate Universe<\/a> and The Expanse<\/a> (later picked up by Amazon MGM Studios<\/a>) were cancelled without explanation. Backlash from viewers have sent a message to broadcast networks who have now followed science fiction series to streamers such as Apple TV.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In season one, the Silo creators familiarized viewers with life in a dystopian post apocalyptic world fleshing out the hierarchy where TPTB (The Powers That Be) of Information Technology (IT) live in absolute luxury at the top of the Silo Eighteen levels. Next in terms of relative power are the Judicial and Law Enforcement divisions designed to keep the worker class of Mechnical and Agriculture kept in virtual slavery. Anyone suspected of bucking the situation or arguing with TPTB is falsely promoted to become a viewing portal \u201cCleaner\u201d, is sent outside in defective hazmat suit, and die.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The hero of the series, Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson<\/a>) is driven to investigate the mysterious death of her lover. Her investigation reveals a conspiracy that ends up with her being promoted to \u201cSheriff\u201d that ultimate leads to Juliette being sent outside. Juliette escapes her death when allies provide her with proper hazmat suit sealing tape that allows Juliette to find that other Silo\u2019s exist as she explored Silo Seventeen.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As season two began after Juliette went \u201cOutside<\/a>\u201d, we learn that the Silo Eighteen inhabitants have been lied to for decades leading to a brewing rebellion. Based on the book series, there are fifty Silo\u2019s one for each of the United States, formed by a Unites States Government directive in 2049. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Conversely, when Juliette witnesses an expanse of Silo\u2019s like her own and that Silo Seventeen did rebel before meeting a survivor, viewers know there is much more to learn. Escaping outside, Silo Seventeen inhabitants. all unprotected were killed by the toxic atmosphere. As they superb story proceeds, we will also learn that some residents suspect that rebellion has occurred in the past in Silo Eighteen and are about to burst upon their reality.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
