Okay watching Silo now on AppleTV+. Holy shit nobody sane signed off on the costs of production design and number of extras here holy shit. Even more than Dark Matter. Is this Tim Cook's personal HBO?… Okay I'm binging this one this weekend.

I've been liking it enough that I really look forward to new episodes. Hope you enjoy it too!

I haven't watched Dark Matter yet, but started season 2 of Silo. Intriguing show.

Man I miss Dark Matter. It really needed at least one more season, but preferably two. *sigh*

Some ropey moments (the generator fix is an affront to engineering) and variable dialogue and acting don’t spoil it completely.

Appletv is absolutely stacked with lavishly designed genre shows, and it feels like almost nobody knows this.

Despite their rocky start, 🍎TV+ is making pretty good shows these days. Really looking forward to the next season of Severance in January.

It’s all the small value-adds..? For the price of Netflix you can have Apple Music, Apple TV, Arcade, Bonus iCloud… for the whole family, using individual accounts… with just a little bit (or a lot) of Apple hardware. It’s an ecosystem lock, but one I’m pretty happy to pay, it’s good for the money

I hate that they are adding the episodes drip drip drip weekly for the second season. There was a reason I left cable to avoid this shit.

Season 1 was SO good, I’m a little concerned that S2 won’t be able to live up to it but I’m so goddamn hopeful.

Have hope, they're following the books plots very closely. There's some awesome shit coming up.

Silo is so good. It’s got the old school aesthetic goodness of Fallout 1 & 2 that got cheesed out by Bethesda.

Wait, are you only on season 1? Because yeah I was pretty impressed by it myself. I haven't started season 2 yet but I can't wait.

Not one bad scifi show on AppleTV. Even constellation, which gets a lot of criticism. It's just very European TV.

This was Fallout before Fallout came out and was actually good. Such an incredible show.

I hold out hope that AppleTV+ won't end up enshittified. Seems like they're most likely to buck this norm. There was a time in the mid 2010s when it seemed like Netflix couldn't miss, but that eventually gave way to the demands for "content".

AppleTV is ruling sci-fi right now, especially with book adaptations. Silo S1 is fantastic. Dark Matter was entertaining, but I think it stretched the boundaries of plausibility and rational decision making a bit too much at the end.

Not only is Silo amazing but ApplyTV+ is probably the only great place for high-budget sci-fi today? Like Foundation is balls to the wall crazy on production values AND legit good sci-fi drama. Then there's For All Mankind that answers the question "what if humanity did a Star Trek speedrun?"

Honestly most of Apple’s originals come across as shows that clearly had little to no interference from “the network” (Apple) and the budgets of their dreams. They seem to choose shows that probably wouldn’t have been made by anyone else, usually with good results

Apparently the BBC turned down Slow Horses originally and Apple picked it up. Assume they regret that now.

Yep. And what a strange format that show follows. I can’t think of any other that has done short-but-rapidly-released seasons where you’d get a six episode season but then another season just a few months later. I was surprised it had as many seasons as it does already

I suspect that the quality will go down after the first season, like Foundation and For All Mankind did 😢

It's so cool how every scifi show on AppleTV+ is a different answer to the question "what does $8 million per episode with minimal oversight look like?"

They should just keep doing this forever.

Hope his contract drags him back until his character is 105. Need to see the in-universe explanation for why the feeble old astronaut with onion paper skin is also still yoked.

Building the world’s most elaborate $100M+ Silo diorama, hiring the greatest crew money can buy, and then stopping the story svery 8 minutes so Common can fill the screen with the worst NCIS ass acting you’ve ever seen in your life.
