I think they needed one of these:

Seriously - quite enjoyed the first episode. It's years since I read the books so I don't know what they've changed but it seemed pretty much like what I remember, and visually I thought it was spot on.
Watched first two episodes - pretty good so far.
Saw the first two episodes. Like the show!!
They are good at building suspense and mystery. I hope there is a worthy payoff at the end.
Really enjoyed the first 2 episodes cannot wait for the third! Wonderful environments, cinematography, cast, and plot.
Silo reminds me of City of Ember, which is a good thing. 😌
IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS MOVIE, STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND WATCH IT NOW!
Between this and Hello Tomorrow! my wife and I are convinced Apple was at some point expecting to get the Fallout show… lol. But actually Silo is pretty good. Will keep watching.
Episode 3 "Machines" planted a lot of seeds. It's going to be a long wait until next week's follow up. I'm happy to report I'm still very much enjoying this show.

We already knew it’s green outside. The image in the cafeteria is computer generated. The sheriff might still be alive.

I didn't see anything mentioned in the original post about this being a spoiler free thread.
But will change it for your sake. But @Gudi you will need to do the same since you quoted me.
For anyone who's noticed similarities between Westworld & Silo's intro music:

It's brilliant, but the weekly releases are pure torture. This would be perfect for binge watching.
I agree but if binge viewing were offered, I'd be up all night & useless for work the next day.
Really enjoy the 3 episodes so far. And I so much prefer the weekly releases than binge on it. Whenever I bing on a series, whenever the new season is out, I don't remember anything about the previous season. Weekly releases make me assimilate it better, and capture my attention for longer.
sorry ,can't hop on the praise train .
Soapy, depressing and rather boring. The bleak setting /environment never changes.Just another dystopian plot and it looks like a video game.

For me it's too action packed. They are in there for over a century. This would've slowed down any activity by mind-numbing repetition. There should be way longer shots of no activity at all. Not even sitting and crying. This silo is buzzing like a beehive. Something is happening all the damn time.
I was wondering for the elevators too. Maybe an issue with energy ? Or maybe they do have elevators but these are reserved for another cast ?
And what/who is outside ? Are the silo people the energy used by the "people" outside ?
A Silo can be both a food storage tower or an underground weapons storage facility. Maybe the humans are harvested for their meat or their organs like in The Island? But then again, it seems as if in the past people knew, why they built and entered the bunker in the first place. But all the knowledge got "lost" in this rebellion of the people who wanted out. This is all such a blatant ripoff of Jeanne DuPrau's "City of Ember" book series. At the beginning of episode 4 there is even a short "Thank the founders, I found you." prayer line, which is such a throwback to Mrs. Murdo's almost religious believe in the builders, who will come back and save the people of Ember when they need them the most.
