Silo’s mysteries only deepen in season 2

The postapocalyptic world gets a lot bigger.

The Apple TV Plus series, an adaptation of Hugh Howey’s trilogy of postapocalyptic novels, tells the story of the remnants of humanity, who live deep underground in silos designed to protect them from a poisoned planet. That landscape is ever-present on huge displays inside the silo, and certain residents are punished by being forced to go outside, while everyone else watches as they walk out into the scorched world and, a few moments later, inevitably collapse. After investigating and meeting the sole survivor (played by Steve Zahn, a wonderful new addition to the cast), she quickly learns that this silo died because of a violent uprising.
