Watched Silo, and enjoyed it.
It reminded me a lot of Ascension in terms of the setup, but it at least has a second season confirmed so isn't going to resolve fucking nothing like Ascension did. Its a good mystery box plus murder setup that lets you the viewer work out whats going on concurrently with the main characters (the first season of Expanse did this too) while also picking up the back story and world building via osmosis, although the mystery they're trying to figure out isn't actually that mysterious and what apparently seemed to be intended as a character twist near the end was more "no fucking duh".
Good production values, lot of good character actors (like, 95% of the fucking cast are british and the accents start slipping when they're all in a scene together
) and decent pacing, and a solid enough ending to stand on its own in case season 2 is disappointing (West World style).
Always nice to see a bit of decent SciFi on the telly, and this is a decent bit of SciFi.
