Apple TV's sci-fi series Silo, starring Dune's Rebecca Ferguson and Oscar winner Tim Robbins, has premiered its critically-lauded third season with a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score after 16 reviews. The show, based on the Hugh Howey novels, has garnered widespread praise from both critics and fans.
What is Silo about?
Set in a ruined and toxic future, thousands live in a giant silo deep underground. After its sheriff breaks a cardinal rule and residents die mysteriously, engineer Juliette (Rebecca Ferguson) starts to uncover shocking secrets and the truth about the silo.
Critical acclaim for season 3
Inverse called it a 'masterclass in post-apocalyptic sci-fi,' while Collider hailed it as 'thoughtful, gripping, and beautifully made, it sets a new standard for what prestige sci-fi can be.' IGN movies teased that 'Silo delivers its best run to date, providing important answers and diabolical heartbreak.' Screen Rant noted that 'Silo season 3 is completely different from the Apple TV sci-fi series' first two seasons, in a good way, and it ushers in a new era for the dystopian show.' Slashfilm urged viewers: 'There's never been a better time to get on board with this show before it comes to an end.'
Fan reactions
Fans have been blown away by the show's quality and baffled by its relative obscurity. Paul J praised on Rotten Tomatoes: 'Twists, turns with an amazing cast drawing you into this world. Suspense and intrigue keep you watching. One of the best shows in years.' Dom C agreed: 'A refreshing post-apocalyptic thriller, no zombies here. A great insight into the human condition.' Benjamin P declared: 'By far one of the best TV shows out there. I mean, come on, the plot rules, the sound design is illustrious, and the story is magnetic. It just does it all well.' Dan F shared: 'Fantastic performances and direction, I binged the whole lot [because] I was always left wanting more. A pressure chamber of secrets and assumptions where the grass is always greener.'
Where to watch
Silo series one and two are available to stream on Apple TV Plus now. The first episode of series three is out now, with new episodes coming out every Friday.
