Season three of the Apple TV series “Silo” continues the saga of a dystopian society of 10,000 people living underground under mysterious circumstances, while revealing an origin story set centuries earlier. The Seattle Times calls it “the best season yet.”
In the present, Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson) survives her forced “cleaning” but returns with memory loss as the silo recovers from rebellion and faces a dangerous new threat. Meanwhile, in the “Before Times,” journalist Helen Drew (Jessica Henwick) and Congressman Daniel Keene (Ashley Zukerman) uncover a conspiracy that pulls them into a chain of events with catastrophic, irreversible consequences. The series is based on Hugh Howey’s New York Times bestselling trilogy, “Silo.”

You know how a show is good? It gets you invested in the fate of a PEZ dispenser.
Not just any PEZ dispenser, mind you — a battered, rubber duck-topped one that doesn’t even have any candy in it. You see, in the first two seasons of “Silo,” Apple TV’s phenomenal adaptation of the science fiction dystopian novels by Hugh Howey, said PEZ dispenser just kept popping up at critical moments. We didn’t know why, but it was obvious the little device was important to this story. It even served as a visual needle drop in the Season 2 finale.
And throughout Season 3 — a near-perfect 10 episodes of thrilling drama and dramatic thrills that begin streaming on Apple TV on Friday — the device is an unexpectedly potent reminder of what makes “Silo” so great: It gets you invested.
Across 10 episodes, Season 3 perfectly weaves together a story that answers many of the questions we had in earlier seasons while brilliantly introducing new ones… To say more would risk spoiling one of the best seasons of TV I’ve watched in a while, and it deserves to be watched with as little foreknowledge as possible.
MacDailyNews Take: “Silo” seasons one and two were already great, so this is high praise!
