The thing about setting a series in an underground bunker is that, eventually, the only way to go is up. The risk that comes with that, however, is choosing who goes there.
That's where things start in Silo season 2, the latest chapter adapted from Hugh Howey's trilogy of books that picks up right after season 1. The remains of a revolution tease what's to come, ending at the feet of Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson), the mechanic-turned-sheriff who is still so rebellious she refuses to use both straps on her backpack. The driving force behind the initial season of the post-apocalyptic series that didn't have Walton Goggins looking like a swollen appendix or Pedro Pascal fighting killer mushrooms, Ferguson is (for the most part) out on her own this time, which is a gamble.
