  • I just finished watching the first season of Silo. It was good enough to make me get the book series and start reading it. I thought the tv show was a bit slow and got bogged down some. Now that I’m reading the book, yup, I can tell that it really is going much slower than the book.

    • It's a shame, I think, that so much stuff is high budget and high risk production wise these days (where, as far as I understand, Hollywood is pressed to make profit now more than it used to). You can see it I think, this anxiety to get people hooked and watching but to also draw out as much as possible from them, and it's only harming TV IMO.

    • Otherwise, I've had Silo recommended to me multiple times now ... so I'll guess I'll give it a watch.

      How did you find the show generally? And the books?
