I watch a lot of TV. The only TV series I ever watched the first season and ran out and got the books. Love What you guys have done. Can’t wait for the next two seasons
I totally agree Steve deserves an Emmy. He did such a great job with Solo. The moment when they come into the Legacy and you see he's stressed about people touching stuff but SO wants to share the world with them. You FEEL it from him.
The way he's frozen as a child is brilliant. I've never seen Zahn quite like that. I love the casting of Common too. He's got quite a menacing dark persona.
I have to say, it's really nice to know the author of these sci-fi novels I love seems like just a totally normal, cool dude. You're not way over the top in some aspect. Seem to have your head on straight and are a regular guy who writes great books. Nothing more to it Thanks for the thoughts!
Hi Hugh, congratulations on the awesome season. I think your point of not wanting to fool viewers who figure it out is a great point. We faced that problem with Game of Thrones, Star Wars, and Lost, where because people figured out what would happen based on good clues and interest, the show/movierunners wanted to subvert expectations and created something lesser than it was hinting to. "Oh you thought x was y? Well, really, its z! You never expected Z because its dumb!" Stick to your guns, the books are incredible and the show is living up to the books.
love all of this!!! The only thing my book reader heart missed was the back and forth communication between Juliette and Lucas when they were in the separate silos. I loved the back and forth there. So excited for season 3!
As a reader of the books, I was ecstatic to see Steve Zahn's casting as Solo, and he did not disappoint. Just a fantastic performance, definitely award worthy.
Last week I bought the Silo books on Kindle. Now listening to you I'm not sure if I want to read the books inbetween S02 and S03 because I don't want to be thrown off on another tangent. I Loved S01 and 02... So good ... this type of SciFi is exactly what I like with some not so predictable directions. Thanks for writing this series, I think I'll rewatch 01 and 02 again and might leave the books for now (maybe start reading them between S03 and S04). Excellent series - thank you Hugh.
Definitely going to rewatch and binge. I’ve read the books but my husband hasn’t. It’s hard not to be a spoiler. Very true about watching at least two episodes at a time on the first watch.
I think you just convinced me to re-watch Season 2 (probably Season 1 too...). :) I bought the books and audiobooks too. ('already "read" all of it. Great story!) Glad you mentioned a few good series to watch on Apple TV+ too! I would love being able to watch TV series on my android device though... :(
Congratulations on your success. I wish fans would support more new authors. I don't know how some of you got so lucky to find an audience, but most of us never do.
The events kept leading her back to wearing the firefighting suit. Which means it will protect her, while he falls on top of her to help buffer the flames. just my thoughts.
Loved this season and what was done with the characters, and how they have bought Lukas back up. I have read the series a few times and watched both seasons will rewatch them. Thank you for putting the books to screen.
This was a great season and a great series - plan to proceed and read the books - also watching severance now and I hope that it ends up as good as this
I watched season 1 week to week and fell in love with the story and characters! After the S1 finale I immediately ordered the series and read all 3 books all the way through. I thought the ‘shift’ in the story was a great way to introduce the backstory in ‘Shift’ the book and a fun little Easter egg for us book readers. Can’t wait for S3 and S4! Congratulations!
This is a great addition to bonus material. This is one of the best series I’ve watched. Up there with Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Great job with this story man. Really enjoying it.
The show is absolutely incredible and look forward to season 3 which will probably come out in 2026 I’m guessing. I myself have been inspired by your work I will have to listen or read your books sorry but I will do that at some point. I have taken your premise of the Silo and made it into a tiered city floating mere feet off the ground. This story I’m working on is called Mindblock dealing with a dystopian society where the main power who controls the city is a faceless organization called Paradigm Corp. who are controling peoples memories. It morphs into something that could blow people away. I was inspired by a youtube video that was discussing the lore of Silo and how they can’t remember the time before living in the Silos. It got me thinking and creating a world that uses your world you have created and then jumped off from there.
I wear a Whoop strap and sitting/watching the season finale had my Whoop convinced I was in the hardest workout I’ve done in years. And it felt like it. And I loved every second.
6:36 Yes, Steve's performance as Solo/Jimmy gave it away that he had been in there since he was a child. That mix of trauma and not being able to grow emotionally mature because he was all alone was so evident in Steve's acting skills.
I loved the books when first released I absolutely raved about them. I’m behind on the episodes as I’ve been unwell. Rebecca as Juliet was just perfect casting.
The problem I'm having with finishing the final 100 pages of Dust, Hugh, is I don't want the story to end and I'm afraid for characters I love. This story you've crafted in this trilogy has gone to the top of my favorites list. I absolutely love the show and the season 2 finale did not disappoint!
For people who post theories that are super accurate, I do wonder if those are people who read the books and aren't saying it. Not cool, but it is what it is. That's going to happen
Not necessarily. If there's enough people posting weird ideas some will get it right. I've read a few from people who definitely didn't read the books and had to bite my lip.
As I reader, I'm loving the changes som much: I don't like to see the same things that happen in the book, I like divergence and alternative ways to tell the same story. I'm totally on board with the tv show 😊 Also, LOVE Solo and Steve Zahn performance made me cry both in episode 9 and 10. I was a mess at the end. Precious baby Jimmy 🩵 And THAT finale! I expected that scene to be the last, but men, it was amazing! Like what you did with Lukas, he's more interesting and has something really meaningful to do. I was getting attached to judge Meadows, so sorry to see her leave.
I started reading the books midway through season 2 and totally pictured Jackie Earl Haley as Bernard in the books. I think the differences between the books and the Apple series actually make both more enjoyable. They’re like funhouse mirror versions of each other and love it.
It is freaking awesome when you have the creator involved and tweaking the story! WoT can’t do that with Jordan, it they could haves leaned on Sanderson. Yeah, I thought S2 concluded perfectly…I know the “secret “ 😂
It’s funny I haven read the books but after the first season I totally planned to. But after the first half half of the 2nd season I was having second thoughts. The show meandered and kinda stalled a bit to me which had me thinking the book must be a little boring. I shared this thought w/a friend and she acknowledged the show was badly paced and suggested it would work better as a binge but reassured me that ur book is fast paced and doesn’t meander at all! So I’m buying the book series next wk!! The concepts are super strong and the intrigue is off the charts I’m so fascinated with this world u built and look forward to the next few seasons as well as reading the book series! PS ..we don’t need Juliet underwater for the entire first season- even w/out reading the book I know she ain’t dying! Just saying.. The finale though (actually the last 3 episodes) almost makes up for the slow start it was epic! I’m totally invested!!
I have a dumb question 😅 (from someone who hasn’t read the books) - the ice cream stocked in the vault. Were they from the before times or were they made in the silo?
wait i clicked on this video but just realized the book is probably gonna be talked about 😭😭 i'll come back to this after the shows ended once ive read them because ive heard from people who read them after season 1 it messed with how they viewed the show
I watch way too much TV, so when I say this show is one of my all-time favorites of its genre, I mean it. Could you mention to the same people you’re working with that “The Atlantis Gene” would also work well as a Sci-Fi mystery thriller?
I was reader of the books. I've told so many of my friends to read them throughout the years. I can tell you were trying mess with us during season 2!! 😆 I wanted Bernard to call silo 1!!!!! So bad.
I think the kids from Silo 17 communicate via radio with Walker (before Juliette gets back to Silo 18) in the book, but that plot device was skipped in the series.
I enjoy the show very much. Though, I'm not one for getting into the weeds too much when it comes to fiction, I realize the writers of the series don't do anything without a reason. Vintage music appears to be an important part of the show. As a jazz musician, I am curious as to the specific reason behind the pick of the slow version of Miles Davis's tune "Walkin'" as the continuous background music for the ending bar scene of Ep. 10? I know Georgia plays a lot in your modus operandi. Perhaps because of the Miles bio pic's premiere in Savannah in 2023?
Hi Hugh, disappointed I missed you live yet again. I've read your reddit post that also mentions "this season is best watched as a whole" would you say the same about the upcoming seasons? I like the slow burn, but also felt the same way as you and understand those who think the whole middle of the season can be skipped. Should we wait for the whole of season 3 to come out to have the privilege of watching at our own pace (as you did early on for this season) for the best viewing experience? Are there considerations behind the scenes to release any future episodes as an entire season or at least in batches? IMO Andor did well to drop 3 episodes up front.
Thanks, Hugh! With so many of your stories getting picked up for series' lately, has anyone thought about/tried/looked into doing something with Half Way Home? I think that would make a great movie!
Two questions, can we guess the answer from what has been shown so far, and did the Legacy abandon silo 17? It doesn’t light up in blue like it does in 18. Also, I’m suspicious of people figuring out what is going on. I think they read the books and want to spoil it for those of us who decide to wait til season 4 is over.
Read the first two books and watched all the episodes. At the end I wanted Juliet to come over the Hill, and a flashback with the Capitol in view somehow. Guessed right about those two things. Everything else I got wrong.
In contrast to the movie Carriers and Contagion I am convinced: Silo is *not* here to prepare us for what to come. It's just a very great series of books and later a series on AppleTV.
@@gluecksdrache2054 The world's billionaires are indeed building bunkers because many of them are better informed about what's in store for our civilization and planet than most members of the general public.
The reason it's most pirated is because Apple TV+ is simply not available in a lot of countries. In Croatia, for example, there is no legal way to watch Silo or any other Apple TV+ show.
The risk is that this series can't keep up the ultra high quality all through Season 3 and Season 4. If I would be the author I would fully tell the story until Season 3 and the end. Not more.
Hugh, please come back to Bluesky. A lot more active than you recall, and lots of love for Silo. The other platforms are unusable, unbearable propaganda
Loved the books; not crazy about the adaptation. The books were good enough without Judicial, unnecessary lesbians, Lukas In the mines, etc. Having a tough time getting through season 2 as a result. The mention of the backstory might be enough to keep me watching. Again, great books; struggling through the Apple TV version.
Nanobot pandemics? Memory depreciating compounds in the water? Blaming everything on Iran (on the nose)? If you’re as cracked as me you’d at least see the books as prophetic.
I read the books so long ago that I don’t recall the details except I spent most of season 2 with deep dread for Juliette’s underwater scenes (which for whatever reason horrified me in the book) and ultimately relieved these scenes were kept mercifully short in the show 🙏🫣

Loved the books AND the show. But then, I don’t even understand your concept of “unnecessary lesbians” 🤔, and I thought the execution of this season was brilliant.
@@KathySierraVideo"unnecessary lesbians" is when Apple changes the gender of a character and makes them gay/lesbian for the sole purpose of having a gay/lesbian character to check off an intersectional virtue signal box without adding to the story. They do this with the wheelchair-bound guy in mechanical, too. It's not reasonable to think that a person in his condition could do a very physical job In the confines of mechanical, but having him there makes Apple look diverse, equitable, and inclusive to those whose thinking goes no deeper than that. They do it in all their shows. I'm just saying the books were fine and didn't need to be changed in ANY of the ways they changed them - not that there's something wrong with being gay, lesbian, or whatever we call disabled people at this moment. My bigger complaint though is changing the story and characters for no reason. No reason at all other than to change them.
@@crairdin I might be a tiny bit in agreement on the point of “changing the authors original art” etc. But here we are, on the author’s own channel, with literally *the creator of the characters / story* telling us how much he loves what’s been done. I do share the opinion that a show/film producer should not take liberties with the author’s work in ways that break from the author’s intention. But that’s clearly not what happened in this case. In fact, this might be the first time I’ve ever heard an author actually say he’d kinda wished or considered retroactively altering his own work *because* he loved what was changed by the screen version.

That Finale was awesome. I screamed when Juliette stood on top of hill and came down like a boss. Best ending ever
As a book reader i knew the season would end this way! So glad you did. Season 3 being be a mix of prequel and present day will be awesome.
I watch a lot of TV. The only TV series I ever watched the first season and ran out and got the books. Love What you guys have done. Can’t wait for the next two seasons
I did the exact same thing. I binged season 1 then read all the books in 2 weeks.
I totally agree Steve deserves an Emmy. He did such a great job with Solo. The moment when they come into the Legacy and you see he's stressed about people touching stuff but SO wants to share the world with them. You FEEL it from him.
This is the best work of his I’ve ever seen.
The way he's frozen as a child is brilliant. I've never seen Zahn quite like that. I love the casting of Common too. He's got quite a menacing dark persona.
Wow! Great update, thank you! Love it all and so glad you mentioned Tim Robbins- legend. 🙏🙏🙏

Love your trilogy. Love the Apple adaptation. Love the cast. Can’t wait for S3. And thanks to you for giving us a great story.

Love the show so much that I picked up the books along with my friends at work! Amazing work.
Love the idea of time jumps and really looking forward to season 3!
That hand on the shoulder scene made me tear up and nothing makes me do that. Absolutely love Silo ❤️
It's so so so good! I'm currently listening to Shift on audible concurrently. Such a delight. Hats off to yoU!
love all of this!!! The only thing my book reader heart missed was the back and forth communication between Juliette and Lucas when they were in the separate silos. I loved the back and forth there. So excited for season 3!

Hey dude, so happy for you with all of this, long time supporter. Continue to prosper.
Rebecca and Steve have great chemistry! So emotional seeing them in those scenes.
Definitely going to rewatch and binge. I’ve read the books but my husband hasn’t. It’s hard not to be a spoiler. Very true about watching at least two episodes at a time on the first watch.
I do hope S3 still has events from Silo 17 spliced in.
Really enjoyed this series thank you. Although I have spent 10 weeks obsessed with where does the grooundwater get pumped to.
SAND!!!! So excited. I so hope it gets made.
Thank you for doing this recap!! We really appreciate your input!!!
Loved your books- thank you 🙏

Thank you ❤ I finished reading all the books in November-December. I read Wool and Dust in two days, so so good!

I’m impatient for season three already
I read the books a while ago. So its nice its still surprising me as its apparent my memory post 50 seems to have forgotten a lot of it.
There are apparently more than 120 more stories and books written by fans based on the Silo universe!
I started reading the books midway through season 2 and totally pictured Jackie Earl Haley as Bernard in the books. I think the differences between the books and the Apple series actually make both more enjoyable. They’re like funhouse mirror versions of each other and love it.
It is freaking awesome when you have the creator involved and tweaking the story! WoT can’t do that with Jordan, it they could haves leaned on Sanderson. Yeah, I thought S2 concluded perfectly…I know the “secret “ 😂

I have a dumb question 😅 (from someone who hasn’t read the books) - the ice cream stocked in the vault. Were they from the before times or were they made in the silo?
If you read the books it gives more of a back story, but there is a store room with food that was rationed. Enjoy!
Episode 9 is the standout, brilliant
Loved Season 2..reading the books now..certainly don't mind being screwed with bring on season 3..
wait i clicked on this video but just realized the book is probably gonna be talked about 😭😭 i'll come back to this after the shows ended once ive read them because ive heard from people who read them after season 1 it messed with how they viewed the show
I like the plan for S3/S4. It would make sense to show cause and effect, using our near future and the Silo 17/18 folks.
We need more of silo MR ❤
So the biggest burning question, was the appearance of overalls in Silo 17 this season your doing? Did you finally win that argument? :D
I've really been enjoying the TV show and will read the books when it's near the end. I promise not to acquire them on the dark webs.
I watch way too much TV, so when I say this show is one of my all-time favorites of its genre, I mean it.
Could you mention to the same people you’re working with that “The Atlantis Gene” would also work well as a Sci-Fi mystery thriller?

Should I read “In the Air” before or after “Shift”?
I'd say the proper time to read the short stories would be after Dust. That's where they are positioned if you buy the three book set.
Will "In the Air" be integrated into the TV series?
Read the first two books and watched all the episodes. At the end I wanted Juliet to come over the Hill, and a flashback with the Capitol in view somehow. Guessed right about those two things. Everything else I got wrong.

Wow, I am surprised how spoilerific the author is being about the next seasons.

This is factually false. X is the only platform whose user base reflects the country per independent research. Blue sky is a cult.
I second this!

Loved the books; not crazy about the adaptation. The books were good enough without Judicial, unnecessary lesbians, Lukas In the mines, etc. Having a tough time getting through season 2 as a result. The mention of the backstory might be enough to keep me watching. Again, great books; struggling through the Apple TV version.
Did he just tell me as a TikTok Gen Alpha to read? wtf unsub jk
How did you learn so much about how our government works? The show at least seems very Straussian, coyly subversive.

The mention of the backstory might be enough to keep me watching. Again, great books; struggling through the Apple TV version.
Loved the books AND the show. But then, I don’t even understand your concept of “unnecessary lesbians” 🤔, and I thought the execution of this season was brilliant.
@@KathySierraVideo"unnecessary lesbians" is when Apple changes the gender of a character and makes them gay/lesbian for the sole purpose of having a gay/lesbian character to check off an intersectional virtue signal box without adding to the story. They do this with the wheelchair-bound guy in mechanical, too. It's not reasonable to think that a person in his condition could do a very physical job In the confines of mechanical, but having him there makes Apple look diverse, equitable, and inclusive to those whose thinking goes no deeper than that. They do it in all their shows. I'm just saying the books were fine and didn't need to be changed in ANY of the ways they changed them - not that there's something wrong with being gay, lesbian, or whatever we call disabled people at this moment.
My bigger complaint though is changing the story and characters for no reason. No reason at all other than to change them.
@@crairdin I might be a tiny bit in agreement on the point of “changing the authors original art” etc. But here we are, on the author’s own channel, with literally *the creator of the characters / story* telling us how much he loves what’s been done. I do share the opinion that a show/film producer should not take liberties with the author’s work in ways that break from the author’s intention. But that’s clearly not what happened in this case. In fact, this might be the first time I’ve ever heard an author actually say he’d kinda wished or considered retroactively altering his own work *because* he loved what was changed by the screen version.
