If you don’t know what to watch next after the Fallout adaptation, then the series Silo on Apple TV+ might be just right for you.
What is Silo about? The last 10,000 surviving people live in a silo with 144 floors underground, as the atmosphere on the surface is toxic and extremely deadly.
Within the facility, there are strict rules – violations are rigorously punished by the authorities. However, the young engineer Juliette (played by Rebecca Ferguson) gradually begins to question more and more the system she lives in and uncovers secrets that turn her previous life upside down.
