The Reelgood Top Streaming Chart for the week of June 1st shows the dystopian Apple TV+ series “Silo” at No.1. Additionally, post its season (series?) finale, the hit Apple TV+ series “Ted Lasso” holds the No.11 spot as well.
“Silo” is the story of the last ten thousand people on earth, their mile-deep home protecting them from the toxic and deadly world outside. However, no one knows when or why the silo was built and any who try to find out face fatal consequences. Ferguson stars as Juliette, an engineer, who seeks answers about a loved one’s murder and tumbles onto a mystery that goes far deeper than she could have ever imagined, leading her to discover that if the lies don’t kill you, the truth will.
Apple’s “Silo,” the new 10-episode drama series based on Hugh Howey’s New York Times bestselling trilogy of dystopian novels, made its global premiere on Friday, May 5, 2023 on Apple TV+.
“Silo” is created by Emmy-nominated screenwriter Graham Yost (“Band of Brothers,” “Justified”), who also serves as showrunner. Academy Award nominee Morten Tyldum (“Defending Jacob,” “The Imitation Game”) directs the first three episodes and the world-building drama stars an ensemble cast led by Rebecca Ferguson (“Dune,” “Mission: Impossible” films), who will also serve as executive producer. “Silo” premiered with the first two episodes, followed by one new episode weekly, every Friday through June 30, 2023 on Apple TV+.

MacDailyNews Take: With “Silo,” Apple TV+ has another major hit, just as the (final?) “Ted Lasso” season ends and the interminable wait for season two of “Severance” continues.

We liked Servant and watched it all the way through. However, one possible setback affecting its popularity was that the primary subject matter could be too painful for people.
Apple TV shows generally seem slow and boring (except for Foundation). I stopped watching Silo, just too slow. They spent 40 min fixing a generator in episode 3, and I just gave up 15 min into episode 4.
