One Of TV’s Best Sci-Fi Shows Returns With A Perfect 100% Critic Score

Apple TV+ may have a tiny bit of market share in the streaming space, but it has the highest batting average of good shows relative to total shows of any platform, by far. One of those is Silo, returning for its second season on November 15, and early reviews are in. So far, they're perfect.

Silo season 2 is currently reviewing with a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes , albeit with not that many critics in, but it's an indication of what may be to come, it seems. That's higher than season 1's 88%, and makes the show rated at 94% overall. It has a 66% audience score because people are crazy. I'm sorry, but it's just an excellent series.

The show is an adaptation of the Wool novel series, a concept that resembles Fallout's post-apocalyptic vault life. Here's the official synopsis:

"In a ruined and toxic future, a community exists in a giant underground silo that plunges hundreds of stories deep; there, people live in a society full of regulations they believe are meant to protect them."

The show's main draw is the enigmatic Rebecca Fergusson, who seems to be everywhere these days, from Mission Impossible to Dune to the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie. But this is effectively her main project. Season 3 has already been greenlit and actually, is currently filming as Apple TV+ tries to cut down on the time between seasons, something they do expertly with some of their other shows like Slow Horses (but famously not with the yawning gap between season 1 and 2 of Severance).

Here's what some of the critics are saying about the new season:

Empire – "While this latest puzzle box of a season often raises more questions than answers, it remains a gripping series that keeps you guessing whether there's a grain of truth among the lies."

Total Film – "A consistently commanding performance from Rebecca Ferguson going it alone and supporting stars keeping busy at home makes Silo a dystopian future worth staying in."

Collider – "By grounding its Orwellian elements into tense yet relatable human struggles with razor-sharp writing, Silo continues to surpass the genre, asking viewers to question not only the motives of those in power but the strength of their convictions."

I'm writing this now, a week early, so you have time to binge season 1 of Silo before season 2 is out, which should be enough time. The series is excellent, one of my favorites on TV, and in terms of currently running sci-fi shows? I think you could make the argument it's one of the best. Silo season 2 arrives November 15.
