Silo Season-Premiere Recap: Other Voices, Other Silos
Juliette finds another silo, and wouldn’t you know it, it’s not what it seems.
Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson) — a skilled mechanic who, through a series of strange circumstances, had become the chief law officer within a massive, post-apocalyptic underground facility — was exiled by her political enemies and sent to the surface, where people usually keel over dead within minutes from the poisoned air. The veteran prestige-TV drama director Michael Dinner (who had previously worked with Silo creator Graham Yost on Justified) and the show’s crew keep the action taut, tense, and easy to follow as Juliette survives several potentially fatal setbacks and just keeps going. Roughly a third of this episode is spent looking back at Juliette’s childhood in her silo, covering the early days when she left her comfortably middle-class obstetrician father, Dr. Pete Nichols (Iain Glen), to go apprentice with the master mechanic Martha Walker (Harriet Walter).
