Spinning this way neither pushes nor sucks air in

Synopsis

The men and women live in a massive underground silo with more regulations they believe are in place to protect them from the toxic and ruined world above. Whether they’re exploring the stars, escaping dystopias, or making the world a better place, these women are what science fiction is all about. Season 1 covers the first 30 chapters of Wool; – The book has 82 chapters. The fans on the floor spin the wrong way in various episodes, as far as the blades’ orientation goes.

I just started watching this show

Featured in WatchMojo: The 10 Best TV Shows of 2023 to Avoid (2023). Something stood out from the start. Sound actors’ voices are very clear. My compliments to the sound people, this is a small miracle.

It’s rare to hear actors’ voices so gloriously clear

I often have a hard time understanding what the actors are saying in shows and movies. Maybe it has something to do with the acoustics of a silo? But I don’t think so, I think it’s down to some very good work by those who record and edit the actors’ voices. It’s almost like hearing actors’ voices in the theater, so good.

I really enjoyed it

I’m a few episodes in now and I’m enjoying the acting and the story. There are good, well-portrayed characters and little by little something is revealed about the history and operational details of the silo. I’m not sure where it’s all going but it’s certainly gripping me. I’ve now finished the first season.

There’s a key element of the ending that’s the same as a reveal in a movie

To avoid spoilers I won’t mention the name of the movie but I’m sure others will know the movie I’m referring to if they’ve seen it. This hasn’t dampened my enjoyment of Silo, and I’m not sure who first came up with the idea anyway, since I don’t know when the book Silo is based on was written.
