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.
Warning: Please refrain from discussing book spoilers in this thread. For show related spoilers please put them in spoiler tags.
glad to hear a second season is confirmed. not gonna spoil anything but can't wait till they get into what happens in the later books
How many gems are on Apple TV that I didn't know about? I'll have to give this a watch.
Severance is the show I will always recommend to anyone else that will listen. It's fantastic.
Stepping away from SF, Slow Horses is excellent if you're into spy thrillers.
Servant, Severance, Mythic Quest, Trying
Don’t forget Foundation.
Foundation has it's moments, anything to do with the three clones is pretty interesting. But overall a pretty mid show, especially the last part on the Foundation which just turns into boring action
Nobody has mentioned this yet, but the comedy platonic is really friggin good. If doesn't look good in the trailers, but it has been a really fun show to watch. I look forward to each new episode.
I enjoyed For All Mankind.
it is peertty good - one of only a few shows that I like lately
This show has been so good, so much fun. Such a great mystery thing going on. I saw a great interview with the author on the Ty and That Guy podcast (which I highly recommend), and he's super interesting.
Purchased the first book and I'm excited to start it.
I'll likely start reading them as soon as the first season is over. Although season 2 was already announced. It will take at least a year or so to actually air and I can't wait that long.
The books are great! Definitely worth reading them now.
i am watching it and enjoying it very much. Also It's great to learn about the books. I'll check them out.
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
I keep forgetting about it because I don’t look on Apple TV much. I love Rebecca Ferguson and Rashida Jones so I should. Thanks for the reminder!
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
Apple TV has had a few nice science fiction shows recently. I really liked Severance and Foundation was ok.
Severance was excellent. I haven’t watched Foundation but I’ve heard mixed reviews.
I think most of the mixed reviews are from people that read the books and don't like some of the changes.
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.
There's also For All Mankind
Yep, great show! A little slow to evolve the story line, but it has huge potential and I look forward to each episode.
Just finished the 8th episode. So good! I was a little iffy about the show for a little while, but last 3 episodes have been great.
Waiting for the season to wrap so that I can binge 🙂
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.
Renewed for season 2!
Should one read the book first?
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.
It's on my list already, definitely interested.
Class. I totally forgot it was out today. Such a great show
Just saw the pilot yesterday and was surprised how quick it moves for a mystery. Hope it keeps up the momentum as these things can become a bore. Maybe I should read the book(s?)
LOVED the short story and then what he did with the whole omnibus series. I don't have Apple TV but im glad to see this.
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.
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.
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.
Such a good show. In a way it reminds me of Snow piercer. What other shows are worth checking out on apple tv?
Severance is the stand-out for me. Enjoyed Slow Dogs too. Ted Lasso, obvs.
Enjoyed Slow Dogs
Slow Horses? Oldman is always fantastic.
Horses, dogs. It's all a matter of scale. But yes, I dun goofed.
So many of them are great! For All Mankind is pretty much my favorite tv show right now. Foundation was super cool. I guess a lot of people didn’t like Invasion, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and am excited for more seasons.
Watched the first couple episodes and got tired of waiting so I read the first book. Would recommend to anyone who’s enjoying the show, it’s pretty good
Been really liking this show. Very much the vibe of the 100 and see.
