Plot: 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.
Season 2 of Silo was so good.
Pros: This season carries a lot where season one has set out. How well this season builds up to this uprising of these rebels came too. I like how it’s expanded on in the world set from last season. A lot of acting was really good this season. I’m impressed with how intense & liberating the drama can be & how the finale makes you demands for more.
Cons: I did had problems with the pacing. There wasn’t a hall lot of Juliette as much as last season & Me being dis-deluded with what’s happening and being competitive at times.
