Apple TV has long been the go-to home of innovative sci-fi TV shows, but there’s far more to the streamer than just Severance and Pluribus. Since 2023, Apple Tv’s undersung sci-fi saga Silo has told a fascinating story of revolution and dystopia based on Hugh Howey’s Silo Saga. Rebecca Ferguson plays Juliette, a lowly engineer who finds herself thrust into the role of Sheriff of her Silo, a self-sustaining bunker where people have lived for longer than they remember. “We do not know when it will be safe to go outside,” the residents dutifully recite. “We only know that day is not this day.”
But go outside is just what Juliette did in Season 2, and she lived to tell the tale. She visited a neighboring Silo and met with its remaining survivors, but after returning, she’s lost much of her memory. In Season 3, memory becomes a core theme, especially as the audience learns what Juliette and the other residents do not know: why the Silos were built in the first place. It’s a big swing for the show, but it just serves as further proof of why this is one of the greatest sci-fi series currently airing.
