You wait years for a TV show about an isolated subterranean community after the end of the world, then two come along at once… Yes, unless you've been living in an actual bunker for the last couple of years, you'll know that post-apocalyptic stories set in underground habitats are all the rage right now. And yet despite the similar premises, these shows take radically different approaches to living below ground level.
First up was "Silo" (2023), Apple TV's compelling, slow-burn drama about the residents of an underground settlement who realize their entire existence is built on lies. Then came the fun side of armageddon, as "Fallout" (2024) revealed a more primary-colored end of the world, built on '50s Americana and larger-than-life heroes, antiheroes, and villains.
