Apple has taken a page from Twitter pirates by adopting a unique marketing strategy. In a surprising move, the company has uploaded the entire first episode of its series Silo on the social media platform Twitter, making it freely accessible to anyone. This decision comes on the heels of Twitter’s decision to allow longer video uploads for its subscribers. The free episode is definitely worth a watch, as BuyTechBlog describes the Apple TV+ original series as “exceptional science fiction television.”
Silo is an adaptation of the science fiction novel Wool, written by American author Hugh Howey. The story is set in a post-apocalyptic world, where the remnants of humanity are confined to a 144-story underground bunker known as the Silo—a self-sustaining underground community. The citizens are led to believe that the outside world is fraught with danger, but doubts emerge about the true nature of what lies beyond. This intriguing premise allows showrunner Graham Yost to delve into the novel’s themes of truth versus fiction and the power of information. Apple has reportedly greenlit a second season for the series.
Rebecca Ferguson, known for her role in Dune, stars as Juliette Nichols, an engineer who unravels a complex web of secrets following the murder of her lover, George, played by Ferdinand Kingsley. The series also features Rashida Jones, David Oyelowo, Common, Tim Robbins, and Harriet Walter.
You can currently stream episodes one through nine of Silo on Apple TV+. The season finale, titled “Outside,” will premiere this Friday.
