Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Season 1 was pretty good. Lots of questions. Not much answers. 

Season 2 is good too, but I wish they could figure out how to either film things set in a dark light or how to display them properly. Sheesh, it’s bad. 

I watched all of S1 and 2 in about a week or two. 

Anybody else watching Silo on Apple?  I love a well done future dystopia movie.

This one is novel as it depicts life after an apocalyptic event where the survivors live in a silo underground, completely self sufficient from any outside world needs. They also have lived this way for maybe 100+ years.

The catch is that somehow over 100 years ago there was an uprising that resulted in the destruction of all knowledge and references to the outside world. The only information regular citizens have is from a camera outside the silo that depicts a lifeless, gray world. They have computers in the silo, but only very rudimentary ones like we had in the early 80’s. No tv, radio etc. anything from the “ before times “ is forbidden, they’re called relics.

Saw the first season.  Kinda need a refresher on the specifics but I remember the major points.

I enjoyed it pretty well.  It's a genre I like. 

I thought the couple introduced in the first episode were better/more likeable/more watchable than who the show actually ended up being about, and I felt baited-and-switched when the show was not, in fact, about the people in the first episode.  I also think Common is not a very good actor and he drags down scenes he's in.  That's what I didn't like about it.

Everything else I remember liking well enough.  It kinda reminds me of Fallout on Amazon.  The premise, at least, of people living in underground bunkers and not knowing what's really going on in the outside world.  

Silo is based on books and I imagine I'll probably read them at some point and get ahead of the show.  

What I'm really looking forward to watching on Apple TV is the second season of Severence.  Been looking forward to that ever since s1 ended.  

Watched The Substance last night.

We discussed horror movies earlier, and this was very much not the type of horror I enjoy.  Body horror films, just, no.  It had parts I enjoyed, and the performances, including both Dennis Quaid and Margaret Qualley, who were not nominated, were fantastic.  But I can only take so much body gross out stuff

I did end up watching Conclave.  It was decent. 

Finnes was outstanding, although I was slightly distracted the entire movie by his breathing and nasal 'whistle'.  Weird.

Was that done for effect?

Nose never recovered from being removed to play Voldemort

We're watching The Penguin on Max right now.  Three episodes in.  Enjoying it so far. 

Still hard to believe it's Colin Farrell crammed in behind all the prosthetics and makeup.  

Really enjoying the Yellowstone prequels.  Binging all day while working on orders.

it's kind of crazy how they took a great show, and then also had a bunch of great spin-offs

I've read the trilogy. It's quite good. Highly recommend.

Haven't checked out the series yet, but I definitely want to.

I read the first book "Wool" and now I'm almost done with the 2nd book Shift.  As expected, some things in the movie align with the book , but some don't.
