Silo Season 2

After revealing what the outside world really looks like at the end of the first season, Graham Yost’s dystopian thriller Silo wastes no time digging into the next steps of Juliette’s perilous journey and the consequences of her disappearing from view. Rebecca Ferguson is more than up to the task of the physically demanding role, all the while conveying Juliette’s fear and determination in new surroundings. Her change of scenery proves particularly fruitful once it puts her in contact with Steve Zahn’s Solo, a new character who offers further insight into this fraught environment. Back in Juliette’s former home, the divide grows, and the new dimensions given to Knox, Shirley, and Camille Sims are welcome. While Tim Robbins continues to savor Mayor Bernard Holland’s murky motivations, it is disappointing that it takes a while before Chinaza Uche’s Sheriff Paul Billings comes to the forefront again. Some plot twists are easy to foresee, but there are enough choices with surprising outcomes to keep Silo near the head of the Apple TV+ originals pack.
