The rooms they inhabit aren’t cramped per se, but there is a sense that everything is starting to constrict around all of them. It squeezes out as much atmosphere as it can from the confined spaces that define the day-to-day lives of the characters and the no-nonsense intensity of Ferguson’s performance. Some of this is intentional in order to create a juxtaposition against the beauty of the world that supposedly awaits just outside. There is something rather dour about how Silo is constructed, playing out in the dimly lit underground world where murders and bodies begin to pile up. Such deception will become the first of many once the fragile existence of the thousands of residents soon begins to come apart. This is what initially drives Juliette to begin her dogged pursuit of the truth she endures an immense loss whose pain is compounded by the lie she is told about what happened. That is basically all that should be discussed when it comes to the plot - over the ten episodes of this first season, darkness waits around every corner. It falls to the engineer Juliette, played by a spectacularly stoic Rebecca Ferguson, to find the truth when no one else will. However, rather than follow them while they begin to piece it together and challenge the rules that govern their lives, the series pulls away to take us on the journey of another. When they discover information that they aren’t supposed to, they come to doubt all of what they have been told. Allison ( Rashida Jones) works in IT while Holston ( David Oyelowo) is the sheriff of the entire silo. All of this is first seen through the eyes of a couple trying to have a child. If anyone were to even say they wanted to go see the outside world for themselves, they are subsequently forced to do so and abandoned to perish alone. Skepticism about this reality is baked in from the start - any discussion of the past is not just frowned upon, but heavily criminalized. Adapted from the book series of the same name by Hugh Howey, it places us in a dystopian future deep underground where thousands of residents are told that the world above is uninhabitable and going there means death.
