The best streaming services are putting serious money into original content, and while not all of that money produces hits it looks like Apple TV+ has hit the jackpot with Silo. The dark, dystopian SF thriller was sitting at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes yesterday, and while that's dropped to 95% now the critical consensus still says this is one to add to your Up Next list.
Based on the book Wool by Hugh Howey, Silo is set in the far future inside a huge silo where tens of thousands of survivors live in uncomfortably close proximity. What did they survive? Nobody knows. When did it happen? That's a nope too – because all the records of whatever happened were deliberately destroyed. All we know is that people who break the oppressive rules of the Silo are sent outside to clean the silo's sensors, and that's a death sentence.
