Watched Silo. As a whole, it was gud, an interesting story that makes the audience wanna watch the whole thing. It suffers from the Woke stronk womyn programming, but it is subtle enough which is worse because people consume it more readily and won't think about it. The first episode wasn't too promising however and I almost dropped it right there. Black hero, white wife, makin a child... a bit too Woke. But at some point the wife calls their baby a "critter" and I'm not sure that it's a note that a fetus is not a human been (see: pro-choice), or their marriage is an act of bestiality. She meant in a kind, playful way, like a pet name, but it doesn't really sound like it. Whatever. From the second episode it actually becomes watchable. The main problem is the resolution, it doesn't make sense. Spoilers incoming. So the silo was made to keep people alive because the outside world is inhabitable. There is a camera above ground showing the barren wasteland. The authority keeps people in so they don't die outside. The hero gets some info that surface is habitable. So they throw her out, so she doesn't make others want to go out. When she go out, it turns out the surface is inhabitable, and that the evidence for the contrary was manufactured by the authority in the first place, and even the screen in the helmets shows manipulated imagery, because... they want them to clean the camera on the surface? But she figures out that the authority was right all along, and they would die out there. She isn't allowed to return to tell this to the people for some reason, even more the show tries to make us think that she won somehow by seeing through the trick that tricked her to go out when she is out... Wtf? Then she walks away in the distance where she'll die inevitably when her O2 supply runs out. Furthermore she is only able to walk away and not die right at the door of the silo, because she gets properly insulated suit and that she doesn't want to take off her helmet. But her walking away can make people believe that everything is all right on the surface, and make them want to go out... Again wtf? The show was renewed for a second season, I have no idea what it could be about. It's kinda set up that she walks away she could make a living on the surface... which is silly as I wrote she's gonna die pretty soon. It is an adaptation of a series of novels, I might get 'em, read some and see if it makes sense in the book.
