Anyone here watching Silo? The 8th episode just aired which means there are two episodes left. So far I've been enjoying this a lot despite some people claiming it was a little slow in the middle. It's only 10 episodes long so even the whole thing goes by pretty quick.

How many gems are on Apple TV that I didn't know about? I'll have to give this a watch.

[-] Serpent@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Severance is the show I will always recommend to anyone else that will listen. It's fantastic.

[-] nslatz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I enjoyed For All Mankind.

Servant, Severance, Mythic Quest, Trying

Don’t forget Foundation.

Class. I totally forgot it was out today. Such a great show

I’m enjoying the series, and haven’t found it dragging.

I’ve been holding off buying Wool before the season finishes its release, but expect to chew through them quickly once it’s done.

I am though somewhat annoyed with the cliffhanger at the end of every episode. I have to wonder if this is something Apple executives have required, but it’s tiresome.

[-] SandorClegane@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Cliffhangers are HUGE factor in determining whether I will watch a series week-to-week or wait-then-binge. I just watched Silo eps. 1-8 this past weekend...it's a good show, but I wish I would have waited another two weeks, tbh.

[-] Izzy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The cliffhangers are quite blatant. Are they worried people will just stop watching if the main character isn't in the middle of jumping off something? This level of cliffhangerness seems kind of outdated. Thankfully I am patient so it doesn't matter too much.

So far I'm digging it, but I'm concerned that this slow burn first season will just fall flat season 2 like a lot of mystery dramas do. Haven't read the books or anything though

[-] war@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

I read the books some years back and loved them, recommended them to everyone. The show is really awesome. I hope it doesn't get cancelled.

[-] treadful@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 year ago

Should one read the book first?

[-] ultranaut@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It will give away a lot of things. I really enjoy the show but I can see how it would be better if I hadn't read the books a few years ago.

[-] amnesiacrobat@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Like another commenter I keep forgetting to watch it because I don’t check Apple TV often. I loved the books when I read them years ago and was glad to see it got renewed. I think I found some weekend plans

[-] Izzy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Apple TV has had a few nice science fiction shows recently. I really liked Severance and Foundation was ok.

[-] amnesiacrobat@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Severance was excellent. I haven’t watched Foundation but I’ve heard mixed reviews.

[-] zefiax@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I enjoyed foundation. A lot of people are unhappy because they made big changes from the books but I feel the changes were necessary for tv.

[-] theUnlikely@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

I think most of the mixed reviews are from people that read the books and don't like some of the changes.
