Following the standard bait-and-switch of modern TV
Everything has to be a TV show now. This should've been a one and done movie.
BUT...to my point. I see a trend where a show is sold as something alluring, then the middle is just standard network fare. Then - right when you're struggling to stay awake every week - they make it interesting again in the home-stretch (I could list several shows that do this). Silo is no different. It starts of with a bang with the talented Rashida Jones and a tantalizing sci-fi mystery of what's *really* on the outside. Then what do we get for most of the season? A boring-ass murder mystery straight from a ChatGPT prompt. And right when I was getting ready to jump ship, they bring the hook back in at the end of episode 6.
