The second series of Silo finished on Apple TV recently and ooh it was a great ride. It picked up right where the last series ended, with our intrepid hero Juliette Nichols (portrayed endlessly brilliantly by Rebecca Ferguson) finding a new Silo - an abandoned Silo, or so it seems. Needless to say, spoilers follow if you haven’t watched the series yet, so head over and finish up the ten brilliant episodes before coming back.

At first, I was a bit disheartened by the series - the early episodes are still excellent, but sectioning Juliette off from everyone else and splitting up into two separate storylines was a bit of a shame. But gradually, as the stories unfold they start to impact on each other in very subtle ways and that’s where it gets interesting.

In the main silo, things are disintegrating quickly and a full scale mutiny is on the cards. People are getting hurt and double-crossing each other, and making plans on top of other plans to keep us all guessing. It’s fantastic. And in the not-so-abandoned silo, Juliette finds other people who need her help but who also help her out too. The scenes underwater were so scary, particularly when you consider these people barely know what large-scale bodies of water are like.

It all builds to another brilliant cliffhanger ending, and thank goodness we already know there is more coming. This twisted, dark, dystopian world isn’t exactly light relief from the world as we know it, but it’s certainly somewhere to escape to. The sets are so detailed and so engrossing (even if the new silo was impossibly dark making it hard to see what was actually going on), you can’t help but imagine yourself in there too.

The sets are so impressive, in fact, that Apple have released a walkthrough of sorts: a twenty minute video just moving slowly around the silo and looking at the areas we have become so familiar with over the last twenty episodes. It’s interesting and I think would make for a good background screen, the same way some people like to having a crackling fire on their TVs.

I honestly cannot wait to get back into this silo world and find out what’s happening next. Juliet has made it back to the main silo (and we know she’s fine, she was wearing a firefighter suit), but what the hell is going to await her there?
