![]() I stuck it out with Apple’s Invasion, even if it was very so-so from start to finish. Overall after two episodes, there’s some great acting and heartfelt scenes in this – along with some curious answers drip-fed along the way, and I do like end-of-the-world-style dramas, so will check out more than this. Plus, Tim Robbins plays a boss called “Ber-narrrd”, like Stanley Tucci’s similarly-ridiculous name in Citadel. Juliette Nichols ( Rebecca Ferguson – Dune Part One) is a tough cookie who fixes the silo’s generators which help keep everyone alive, whilst also dating ‘Computer George’ ( Ferdinand Kingsley – Empress of Mars: Doctor Who), but a situation comes along which sees Juliette demanding the truth, but we already know this underground lair is a near-impossible place to get answers.Īs an aside, I like how this is set in a sort-of futuristic time, yet all the computers have an old-style Apple Macintosh 128K-style look, albeit with a more vertical screen like something out of Arnie’s 1990 movie, Total Recall. Who put it on the Bush Telegraph(?) Well, that’s how it is in this place.Īside from the speculation as to whether the couple will conceive the baby they’ve been longing for, the very technical Allison gets on the nerves of those in charge by writing an article on how to retrieve deleted files, because they don’t want people to know that this might be a thing, so can she get to the truth of it? ![]() However, as soon as they get the clearance, everyone seems to know about it. Quite right too, given that the Silo is as dirty as the Merseyway car park in Stockport. The opener mostly centres around Sherriff Holston Becker ( David Oyelowo – See How They Run) and his wife, Allison ( Rashida Jones – On The Rocks), who get a year-long pass to have a child – something that is highly controlled within such a restrictive environment. On the face of it, the ground beyond their space looks pretty uninhabitable and, thus, far from pretty, but is it real or is it Memorex? So, it feels like being in a cult, and if you rail against it, you’ll feel the stiff arm of the law and be forced to put your money where your mouth is, so to speak.įrom inside the place, the occupants can see the outside through protective screens, but know it’ll be along time before they can set foot out there. There’s an overwhelming desire for some to go outside because they think they’re being lied to (like a government often does), but if people inside claim that it’s fine on the outside, and start shouting it to be fine to all and sundry, then they’ll be locked up before being sent out into that ‘cursed Earth’. Everything in the opener leads up to Freedom Day, marking the 140th anniversary since they defeated the rebels who would’ve opened up the door to the outside world and caused calamity inside. No-one knows why they’re down there, or who created the Silo, because their records were wiped many moons ago. Silo is an Apple TV+ adaption of a novel set in a post-apocalyptic world where the last 10,000 remaining people live.
