Its initial focus is on sheriff Holston ( David Oyelowo), who maintains law and order by enforcing the rules set forth by this society’s governing Pact and the authoritarian judicial forces that outrank him. Silo, which premieres May 5, is set in an undetermined future in which mankind, for its own safety, resides in a cavernous, multi-leveled underground structure. Fortunately, though, Ferguson is so magnetic that she helps the material feel, if not wholly fresh, then at least frequently intriguing. The story of humanity’s last 10,000 survivors, who all live in a vast underground silo that protects them from the toxic world outside, it’s an adaptation of Hugh Howey’s novels that plays like a compendium of spare sci-fi parts. Producing compelling TV shows is difficult, but one way to make the process easier is to cast Rebecca Ferguson-a fact borne out by Silo, a 10-part Apple TV+ series, whose derivative aspects are partially offset by its charismatic lead. ![]()
