It’s no Game of Thrones, but there are similarities in style and tone that fans of that series might appreciate.īlack Bird is a thrilling crime drama with a top-notch cast that follows a young man, James (Taron Egerton), the son of a decorated police officer, who is sent to jail on drug trafficking and weapons charges. Momoa is predictable in his usual gruff and skilled warrior role, but there are other shining stars to watch, like the captivating Alfre Woodard. Thus begins the hunt for the children and their outlaw biological father, who also possesses the forbidden ability to see. The tribe’s leader, Baba Voss (Jason Mamoa), marries the woman, who gives birth to twins who are able to see. The story begins when a pregnant woman arrives at the camp of the Alkenny Tribe seeking a safe haven. Not only has the world become one where everyone has survived without the ability to see, but sight is now considered to be a curse, not a gift bestowed upon those who possess it. Set far in the future, the ability of sight has been lost by all survivors of a 21st-century virus that wiped out most of humanity. While critics have not been kind to this Jason Momoa-led sci-fi drama, viewers seem to be all for it. Is the silo really protecting people from dangerous conditions outside its doors, or is this all just an elaborate demonstration of smoke and mirrors? Silo touches on themes of power, control, perception, and manipulation. The story, based on the sci-fi books by Hugh Howey, centers around Juliette (Rebecca Ferguson, Dune), a young engineer who decides to investigate the truth when her boyfriend, who was looking into various theories, mysteriously falls to his death.

Any sign sof the world before, called relics, are strictly prohibited. The protective community abides by strict rules and the same kind of corrupted politics and socioeconomic classes that existed in the outside world. But they are told it’s dangerous and deadly to step outside. No one knows why the silo was built or even by whom. Earth has supposedly become nothing more than a vast wasteland, and the only survivors reside in a massive silo built more than 100 floors high. Even though it’s yet another postapocalyptic, dystopian series, Silo draws you in with its unique and compelling story and A-list cast.
