Oscar-winning actor Tim Robbins said dystopian TV series Silo was an instant hit because audiences “saw their own reality reflected” in the show following the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns.
The show is based on the post-apocalyptic science fiction books by US writer Hugh Howey, featuring the last 10,000 people on earth who follow strict rules and regulations believed to protect them while living in the Silo, a self-sustaining subterranean city a mile deep.
