Silo episode 1 recap

The story takes place in a seemingly civilized, massive underground community. The Silo, as its people refer to it, is the only place where it is safe from humans to exist following a rebellious uprising that wiped clean every book and hard drive created before the war. A humble, good-hearted Sheriff decides to leave the Silo, which can be done by anyone who announces their desire to leave, to track down his wife, who had left after discovering some of the Silo's deepest secrets. Early reviews of Silo draw comparisons to other popular dystopian narratives and, in some ways, reimagines The Matrix's best storytelling trick. However, by the end of the first two episodes of Silo, some of its initial mysteries are given direction, while many questions still need answers. The biggest revelation by the end of episode 2, "Holston's Pick," is that the Silo might not be the sanctuary that its people believe it is.

Holston is confused by her emotional outburst and seemingly delusional convictions, shocked that Allison went inside her own body to find the birth control equipment she was told had been removed. Allison is likely correct that "they," meaning the ambiguous yet authoritative Pact, do not wish for her to have children because of her personality type.

The reason the whole situation is so shrouded in mystery, at least according to the official version of events, is that a rebellion dedicated to opening the door to the outside world completely destroyed all written and digital records of the past on its way to being crushed some years ago. Every year the defeat of the rebels is commemorated on a Fourth of July—type holiday called Freedom Day. But the people seem mostly content — almost incongruously so, since with a few sci-fi trappings aside, society seems basically stuck in a suburb circa
