USING THIS TO REVIEW THE SECOND SEASON OF THE TV SHOW SILO.

‎ ‎ ‎
FINAL RATING of the season as a whole: ★★★★

SEASON 2, EPISODE 10:
I'm speechless. This was everything I wanted from a finale and more. Silo season 2 comes to an end with one full hour of chaos and frenzy, following a chain of mind-blowing twists and events that will literally have you jaw-dropped at all times, until it explodes in the biggest cliffhanger of the show. So many secrets of the Silo have been revealed, or rather hinted at, and what I got from it is that there's an A.I. controlling all the Silos, which has the power to kill everyone with poison at any time. I'm still not sure what the A.I. told Lukas Kyle exactly, nor what is behind that door deep down in Mechanical, but I'm sure the next season will answer those and many more questions. Rebecca Ferguson has obviously been fantastic as Juliette Nichols, especially in this final episode, and Steve Zahn was also exceptional as the tragic character of Jimmy, but Tim Robbins absolutely stole the show with his portrayal of Bernard Holland in this season. I would go as far as to say that it could be his best role after The Shawshank Redemption. It's one of those rare occurrences of a "perfect casting".

Overall, the second season of Silo proves that this show is one of the most engaging and intriguing pieces of dystopian media of the decade. The sheer level of suspense in the atmosphere and brilliance in the writing, the world-building, the character arcs, is nothing short of impressive. I've come to love a great number of characters, who I'm happy to be spending two more seasons with in the future. This episode ends with Juliette and Bernard being locked in an incinerator (supposedly by the A.I.), and since Juliette's suit was made from a fireman's, it's not difficult to guess which of them made it. Although, I hope I'm wrong because I want more Tim Robbins as Bernard. Anyway, the epilogue takes us back to the 1970s in the United States, who have just been attacked by Iran with a dirty radioactive bomb. This scene features Jessica Henwick (who I always love to see) as Helen, who may be a very important character in this story. I think the next season will reuse the dual storyline method, but with flashbacks with Henwick's character taking us to the origins of the Silo. I can't wait. I'm just loving this saga.
