I thought S02E01 had too many flashbacks. Not much actually happened. But I’m still excited for the rest of the season.

Really? The first season has an interesting premise but spins around with empty episodes. Dunno if it gets better by the end. The cast is great though

Haven’t seen s2 yet, and in hindsight does seem repetitive, but I feel it works for me because it reinforces how crazy/committed you have to be to undertake her course of action.

The biggest hurdle and whiplash for me was that the show shifted to staring basically the third lead a few episodes in? Rebecca Fergusson’s character is introduced in the last few seconds of the first episode and I can’t even remember if she has lines.

If you liked Silo, give Fallout a shot as well.

I couldn’t help but think of Fallout once she’s outside.

I thought S2E01 was decent. Definitely going to watch the rest of Season 2.

I enjoyed season 1 and I generally dislike the "streaming company does a series based on famous sci-fi author's work" format.

Debating whether to start reading the novels or watch the streaming series and then go through the novels.

I haven’t seen the show yet, but I have read the books and they are awesome. They start excellent and just keep getting better. I should probably re-read them now huh

Good to hear. I might have to just go for it and start the novels, I will most probably end up watching the series anyways.
