Silo
In a bleak dystopian future, humanity clings to survival deep underground within the confines of a colossal silo. Juliette, an engineer tasked with unraveling the mystery behind the death of a colleague, uncovers startling secrets that threaten the very fabric of their enclosed world



A dystopian murder mystery drama, I’m not sure why its been getting rave reviews because this is just another inferior Agatha Christie murder mystery drama that's underground?. The first episode and all of the others up to episode 8 barely touched on the main theme of the series which is, what was planet earth really like?, what happened on the planet?, who built the silo?, why was there a revolt in the first place (and against whom)?.

Lots of questions but no real answers, well not until the 8th episode that is and, even then with barely any help from the writers I'd already worked out how they were spying on the public and who were the nasty bastards secretly running the silo. But, the big questions like the who, why, what and the how was still missing an answer.
I might find out later this month with episode 9, but, that begs the question, there's a season 2 in the pipeline, why would they need one?, are they just going to keep murdering people and starting all this bollocks from scratch again?, who knows.

Aha, I almost forgot.
When the power source of the silo went down there was a huge clue available for a split second, you caught a glimpse of the lush green outside world through a fake window, why was I the only one to see it, hmmm, was it just another tiny clue to keep your juices satiated?.
I'm hoping - that maybe - just maybe - that the next few episodes get a move on as this tv series is starting to get ponderous and that's pretty dangerous ground to be on.

Not as good as "Shintaro", but still heaps better than today's TV.

Black Mirror.

A contemporary British re-working of The Twilight Zone with stories that tap into the collective unease about our modern world. Over the last ten years, technology has transformed almost every aspect of our lives before we've had time to stop and question it. In every home; on every desk; in every palm - a plasma screen; a monitor; a smartphone - a black mirror of our 21st Century existence.

Its not a proper TV series and its not a Movie either so, I decided to put it in this thread as its a series of different themes instead of a Movie thread which just focuses on one subject, as in sci fi etc....

This show is bloody brilliant, I've watched them all up to Demon79 season 6 and there's only been 2 or 3 that I wasn't keen on, the rest of them however are a pleasure to watch as the consequences of the main actors or an unknown actor\s actions unfold.

I have to give it an overall rating instead of a series rating as each episode is different from the others.

Overall Rating 8\10.

A colourised episode of "The Samurai" early 1960s.

Star Knives, crook haircuts, and badly dubbed. All the elements for great TV.

"Up Pompeii".

One of those great shows you weren't allowed to watch as a kid.

"The Cockpit" is an EXCELLENT 3 part anime mini series set in WW2.

I tried to find a decent trailer but couldn't.....so here's snippets from each episode......
