SILO is good first and foremost b/c its source material is good despite APPLES changes like overtly placed homosexual relationships that serve no purpose other than to try and nonmaize homosexuality which in relaity is NOT THE NORM. Ferguson is a good actress all around so its not a surprise she's good in a show with good source material. I personally like the casting of Common, Tom Robbins and Lain Glen. Glen in particular is IMHO a highly under rated actor. For those who look at him and see "Gee he's familiar" it's possibly due to his role in the RESIDENTEVIL series as Dr Isaacs or even from GAME OF THRONES. I don't understand how this guys not gotten a big break yet with how good he is at his roles then being a white male is now a hindrance in Hollywood.
I had subscribed to Apple TV+ since its launch in November 2019, and Season 1 of Silo was one of the shows I had enjoyed on the service, despite its faults. But as time went on, I became more and more frustrated with the incessant inclusion of DEI in Apple TV’s content. Another example is Foundation. I love Asimov’s books, but Apple’s adaptation is Foundation in name only. I cancelled my subscription after Season 3 of Foundation. The changes made to Asimov’s work was too much. I was done!
All of Apple’s shows/movies are visually stunning and well produced, but the company’s insistence on being woke spoils what would otherwise be an exceptional streaming service. I just can’t ignore that.
The root of the problem with Apple TV (as they now refer to the service), in my opinion, is that Apple are true believers with respect to woke ideology and the inclusion of DEI, as opposed to other streamers that pay lip service to it because it is expedient for them to do so.
While some viewers (like me) enjoy slow pacing, it's become a staple of poor production. The pace should be astute, brief and captivating. It absolutely isn't.
The show also puts ideology first, and delivers the now stereotypical Feminist, Woke and Marxist themes of White men as evil, man as monstrous or failures, women as Girl bosses, constant betrayal and absolutely no character growth.
Politics IS the death of Art. I'm afraid that, while the show IS interesting, and based on a good writer who IS involved in the production, we really can't expect much from a political show that follows strict identity politics layouts.

Yep. Woke.
