Plot: Season three of Silo continues the saga of a dystopian society of 10,000 people living underground under mysterious circumstances, while revealing an origin story set centuries earlier. In the present, Juliette Nichols (Ferguson) survives her forced “cleaning” but returns with memory loss as the silo recovers from rebellion and faces a dangerous new threat. Meanwhile, in the “Before Times,” journalist Helen Drew (Jessica Henwick) and Congressman Daniel Keene (Ashley Zukerman) uncover a conspiracy that pulls them into a chain of events with catastrophic, irreversible consequences.
Season 3 of Silo was Quite Good.
Pros: This season’s main plot has been morally complex. I like how the main plot & Daniel & Helen’s relationship all intertwined, that lead to the origins of the silos. Common, Rebecca Ferguson & Tim Robbins gave the best performances of the series. Camille Sims did add a lot to the storyline. Throughout the season still delivered, keeping your attention with each episode & how it sets a build-up going into Season 4 (Final Season).
Cons: I find Juliette’s plotline involving her losing her memory was quite too quick. A lot of this season’s recurring characters didn’t work for me. Each runtime did exhaust me when I was watching & there were times I didn’t know what side Camille was on.
