Silo season 2 comes to an end in an explosive, deliciously frustrating way. Here’s our spoiler-free review of Silo season 2 episode 10.
It’s hard to pull off a good finale these days. The TV landscape is full of excellent series and it’s hard to stand out and even harder to convince your audience to hang on for a couple of years and wait for another season.
Silo season 2 has had a lot of ups and downs. There have been some incredible individual episodes ā episode 4 in particular ā but the series has also struggled in finding a balance between the different storylines. With two more seasons on the way, the finale has to prove that showrunner Graham Yost and his cast and crew know what they’re doing and this is all leading to something worthy of our patience.
In all honesty, I was nervous sitting down to watch episode 10. Sure, the last few episodes were an improvement, but could this last episode bring everything together and finally give us all the answers we’ve been yearning for all season?
Reader, I was not disappointed.
I was frustrated, for sure and I yelled out a lot of expletives during the final episode, but Silo season 2 comes to a delectable end with episode 10. Last week’s episode ended with Lukas finding a mysterious door at the lower levels of the Silo and a computer instructing him to not tell anyone what he has seen or a safeguarding protocol would be initiated.
If you were hoping for an answer as to what said safeguarding protocol is or what’s behind the door, you’ll have to wait. In fact, the finale raises more questions than it answers but it’s hard to complain when it’s this interesting. Episode 10 is a major attack on your senses and you better come prepared to take in a lot of information because the finale does not let up until its very final minutes.
Juliette is still on her way out of silo 17, desperately wanting to get back to her own silo to warn them. After learning that Solo was just a child as the rebellion started and was forced to kill Audrey and her family’s parents as self-defence paints his entire character differently. Steve Zahn has been such a highlight this season with a heartbreaking, carefully constructed performance that never rung false. “They were younger than me,” Solo notes about his parentsā death and Zahn sells the moment with his vulnerability.
In silo 18, things are getting very explosive as an inevitable showoff between Mechanical and Mayor Holland’s Raiders is getting closer. There aren’t a whole lot of surprises here, but it’s all impeccably directed and staged by Amber Templemore.
2024 was an excellent year for TV with shows like The Penguin, True Detective and ShÅgun all impressing viewers and critics alike. Yet, the final episode of Silo season 2 is perhaps the most tense and exciting episode I’ve seen in a while. I can’t remember a time when I was physically moving closer and closer to the TV as the episode progressed, screaming and grunting and at one point, pulling my own hair out. That’ll take some explaining to my hair stylist…
The very final moments of Silo season 2 tease what awaits us in the next season. Season 3 currently has no release date, but filming is already on the way for it in the UK. Realistically, we probably won’t see it until sometime in 2026, which makes the finale as frustrating as it is excellent.
