SILO – Review by Susan Granger

July 31, 2023August 3, 2023 Susan Granger Apple TV+, Common, David Oyelowo, Geraldine James, Hugh Howey, rebecca ferguson, sci-fi series, Silo, Tim Robbins, Will Patton

If you enjoy sci-fi thrillers, stream 10 episodes of the first season of Silo on Apple TV+. Based on a series of dystopian novels by Hugh Howey, it revolves around the inhabitants of a 144-story subterranean bunker built to shelter 10,000 people after an apocalyptic event left Earth uninhabitable. Designed with a huge spiral staircase in its center and no elevator, living space in the Silo is strictly stratified. Those in authority and the elite occupy the top floors; the white-collar labor force is in the middle; and the blue-collar mechanical workers are down below.

THE FOREVER PURGE – Review by Susan Granger

July 5, 2021July 5, 2021 Susan Granger Everardo Gout, Josh Lucas, Leven Ramblin, the forever purge, Will Patton

If you’re not familiar with the provocative horror movie franchise that made its debut in 2013, it revolves around a dystopian United States in which – on one night a year – it’s legal to commit any crime, including murder. Invented by an insurgent political party called the New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA), the government-sanctioned slaughter designates a specific 12-hour period and, in this installment, the hot-button issue is illegal immigration.
