We tell you some of the most interesting reasons to enjoy ‘Silo’, the new science fiction series on Apple TV+. No spoilers!
Apple TV+ recently premiered ‘Silo’, a fascinating series of Science fiction inspired by the homonymous literary work by Hugh Howey. The series has a great narrativeA wonderful distribution of actors and actresses, a good dose of special effects and many other reasons to enjoy one of the best series on Apple TV+.
‘Silo’ is a series created by Graham Yost and produced by AMC Studios whose synopsis reveals a post-apocalyptic story in which a society lives with its own rules in a gigantic underground silo hundreds of stories deep. But, with the passing of the generations, they have forgotten why they live in a silo. They only know that the planet is uninhabitable and toxic.
A mystery play that will keep you hooked
‘Silo’ has all the conditions to become one of the best science fiction series of recent times. Has a very careful setting, an intense narrative that will make you throb and an excellent cast of actors whose interpretations go beyond the sublime. All this with their respective cliffhangersscript twists and other movie tricks.
The aura of mystery that surrounds ‘Silo’ is also another of the reasons why this Apple TV+ series will keep you hooked from the first minute. The story sells itself, but also the drama that accompanies it borders on perfection. On the other hand – and it’s something I usually hate – the fact that a new episode comes out every week adds an extra point of intrigue that never hurts.
A dream cast
When we talked about the cast of ‘Silo’ on Apple TV+ giving us sublime performances, it wasn’t just saying. It really is about professional actors and actresses helping us to immerse ourselves fully in the plot with performances that perfectly fit the plot from the series.
The new original series of Apple TV + has the performance of great renowned actors and actresses such as Tim Robbins (‘The Shawshank Redemption’), David Oyewolo (‘The Waterman’), Rebecca Ferguson (‘Dune’), Avi Nash (‘The Walking Dead’) and Rashida Jones (‘The Office’). They also participate in the cast with secondary characters Iain Glen, Will Patton, Dame Harriet Walter, Geraldine James or Commonamong others.
Always a pleasure to watch Tim Robbins work
The immeasurable leading actor of ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ (titled ‘Cadena Perpetua’ in Spain and ‘Sueño de Fuga’ in Latin America) who gave life to good Andy Dufresne alongside Morgan Freeman is out there, not only in ‘Silo’ , but surely in the interpretation of any role that is proposed.
In the first three episodes of ‘Silo’, Tim Robbins has a more serene and sedate performance. But this could be about to change over the next few episodes and her character will gain more and more strength.
Rebecca Ferguson’s visceral performance is brutal
The Swedish actress who has participated in great cinematographic works such as ‘Mission Impossible’, ‘Doctor Sleep’, ‘Men in Black’, ‘Life’ or ‘Dune’ stands out for her leading role in the Apple TV+ series ‘Silo’. A role in which she embodies a very temperamental character who hides a very sensitive facet with a breastplate of fury, fierceness, anguish and authority. Definitely her interpretation as Juliette Nichols will make you not want to take your eyes off the screen.
Ancient artifacts and underground lives
The twists in the script and the events that take place in ‘Silo’ would not be as satisfying if the plot took place in a more usual environment. Getting into the skin of a series of people who belong to an underground society with its own laws, its forces of authority, its mayoress and its culture they make it really interesting.
In the series you will see all kinds of ancient artifacts that belong to the past such as analog clocks or video cameras, objects that are useless in the society of ‘Silo’ and that the characters are completely unaware of. But what is really seductive about the Apple TV+ series is the magic of underground relationships that have a mystical touch with a strange romanticism that is somewhat reminiscent of the allegory of the cave from Plato.
