In The Best Showman, Rebecca Ferguson’s opera star, Jenny Lind, sings “By no means Sufficient,” and people phrases have by no means rang extra true than with Silo.
The sequence, based mostly on post-apocalyptic books by Hugh Howey and produced by and starring Ferguson, is a gripping thriller/thriller about an underground, self-sufficient Silo and its more and more anxious inhabitants. And every episode leaves audiences wanting extra.
If you happen to haven’t watched it, be ready. This present freely throws round overly severe, considerably imprecise/nonsensical phrases like “the earlier than occasions,” “Freedom Day” and “The Flamekeepers;” nevertheless, the sequence packs severe twists and star energy, with the likes of Ferguson, Rashida Jones, David Oyelowo and even Jorah Mormont himself (Sport of Thrones’ Iain Glen). And just like the early seasons of Sport of Thrones, nobody is protected.
Rebecca Ferguson is right here to take your whole TV-watching time with hearth and blood. For me, the “earlier than occasions” is earlier than I watched Silo. —BB

(Please don’t honk at me.) —BB
