Silo (2023)
Spoiler Alert! You will love it.
As much as this series critics have given it mixed reactions, Silo delves into the type of series that teaches you the famous African proverb, ‘he who does not leave his mother’s house, will think she is the best cook’.
The series is based on a dystopian and ruined and toxic future (is it though), where a community exists in a giant underground silo that plunges hundreds of stories deep; there, people live in a society full of regulations they believe are meant to protect them. But then again, find it, watch it, and the ending (spoiler alert again) cliffhanger!
