I found that Silo got off to a pretty slow start - but it has quickly gathered energy and momentum. I guess because I haven't read the books this feeling was probably somewhat exaggerated as I had no idea where the story was going.
Regardless, this is an intriguing story and it's mostly a well told one. I do think that there are a few situational and procedural anomalies in the story - unsure if these are inherited from the books or a result of the inevitable editing required when converting a book into an episodic TV show. Basically my feeling could be summed up best (without spoilers) by wondering why there aren't more fundamental questions being asked about the how, where, and why.
Good performances and visuals elevate the show into the 8s - looking forward to how it develops heading into a second season. This show should appeal to a fairly broad demographic - certainly not just sci-fi and mystery fans.
