There’s a greater relief, in times of cancellation, knowing that we’re getting a second season of Silo. We follow the harrowing, suffocating, and seemingly useless investigation of Juliette (Rebecca Ferguson) into what happened to her lover, her mother and so many other people confined in the underground world after being unable to live in the outside world thanks to contaminated air. What seemed to be the big lie – people lived in confinement when the outside world was still perfect – was nothing more than the truth, the question then remains, why make people believe that there is a habitable world when there isn’t?

We do not know. The first season of Apple’s sci-fi series has revealed fractured families, antagonisms fueled by fears, and sort of grounded. Why the mystery?

It may sound like a complaint, but it’s not. The series that came out of the books of Hugh Howey was one of the great successes of the last few weeks, with a first-class cast and a script that parades the clichés of the genre with precision. Enough to engage and interest us.

In the final episode, we suffer from Juliette’s vain attempt to figure out what’s going on (and what happened in the past) as she tries to escape Bernard (Tim Robbins) and Sims (Common). The mission is more than impossible and of course, she ends up trapped. Her determination, as Bernard feared, inspires others to begin to question it, but he manages to nimbly ‘kick’ her out of the Silo, ushering her into the outside world. Earlier, in another incredible performance by Harriet Walter, Martha puts the pieces together and understands that the problem was not really in the record, but in the adhesive tapes that Juliette had stolen a while ago. Martha changes them into the outfit Juliette must wear to go out, saving her from a fate set to death.

There’s a lot to understand about the mysteries of the Silo’s origin, and why does the simple truth seem to be being covered over by a lie? The world outside the Silo is barren and uninhabitable, but there are many silos. Apparently, all live isolated in their realities. We have to find out why and a lot of things like what city is that in the background? What did Bernard run to do? Warn others? How will Sims act now that he also understands that there are weird things going on and he is Bernard’s shadow? I’m hoping that Silo doesn’t become a Westworld and that it brings us answers and a more instigating goal. Anyone who likes sci-fi deserves it!
