I’m enjoying this AMC show so far - and would say it is the best SF airing currently - that I am aware of.
I have not read the books but my SO has read the first of them and is also enjoying it. She can’t recall a great many details from the book though - her memory doesn’t work that way.
One tiny point that I am curious about - a detail that my SO doesn’t remember - is whether the characters who have seen the Pez dispenser actually recognise duck as a duck? Do they know what ducks - or birds in general - are?
From episode 1, IIRC, it seems to be suggested that they did not understand what the things flying in the sky in the outside world were.
Anyway - what are your thoughts on Silo?
I haven’t started watching it yet, but adding it to the watch list. Thank you for the reminder
Oh I had no idea that Silo has a show! I read the first book and still think about it a lot. On the second one now and it is also very good so far. I will have to check this out. AMC is where it is?
Yes, AMC. Releasing weekly and ep 7 this week.
I fully agree, the show is amazing, hooked me from the start! Though I haven’t had the time to watch past episode 5 yet.
I just started reading the first book because of the show, and in the book at least they still allow childrens picture books, and I guess they learned what birds were from them: “Most people doubted those colours in the books, just as they doubted purple elephants and pink birds ever existed.” So maybe they saw a duck in the book and now only know what a cartoon duck looks like, but if it would have been a realistic duck on the pez, they wouldn’t have known what it was?
One episode left before the end of the season, but I have heard that a second season has been ordered. I like it so far!
My guess is that they don’t know what a duck is.

Judging from the sheriff’s reaction to reading the nature book.
