Silo on Apple TV (1 Viewer)

-- the sheer amount of folks complaining (maybe it's not tho) about it being too slow

A lot of people want instant gratification, but I'm personally okay with a slow burn (I said as much on page one of this topic lol). I actually think the end of season 1 was too rushed, they could have probably spread out everything that was happening so rapidly into another episode or 2. The pace felt "off" and rushed, compared the the previous episodes, but maybe that was due to budget, or being uncertain of being renewed.

From my vague understanding, season 1 was based off a short story: "based on a short story called "Wool" by Hugh Howey, which later expanded into a trilogy of novels titled "Wool," "Shift," and "Dust" that the show is adapted from; essentially, the "Silo" series originated as a single short story"

A lot of people want instant gratification,

I’m also pretty sure there’s a lot of 2 screening going on
The number of people on reddit boards (not just for silo) asking basic questions about stuff that clearly happened onscreen is frustrating to read
Just put down your phone and get into the atmosphere- not just the action

i like getting to the point. doesn't have to be instant gratification, but dragging a story out never really bodes well..

I guess one man's dragging is another's meditation
there is 'traditional' story arc structure
Exposition, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, Resolution
obvious exposition is now considered hacky, so writers like to find ways to embed exposition into the rising action (or even later)
BUT the rising action is crucial for a genuine climax (yes, we know) and resolution
inciting action right into climax is only good for action movies and 14 yr old boys
