Apple TV+’s Silo cemented the streamer’s reputation as the go-to place for innovative science fiction television. Based on the self-published series of books by Hugh Howey, the series followed a diverse cast of characters who lived in an underground silo, with no memory of what happened to put them there.
Season 1 was a tense, claustrophobic paranoid conspiracy drama that ended with mechanic-turned-sheriff Juliette (Rebecca Ferguson) venturing out into the wasteland. While everyone else who faced the outside ended up collapsing after only a few steps, she managed to survive, thanks to special heat tape developed by Juliette’s fellow mechanic Martha Walker (Harriet Walter).
