Silo

68Worth an evening.

A closed town, a forbidden question, and the cost of asking it. Worth the first season.

The review

The silo is a republic in a can. It has a sheriff, a mayor, a judicial arm, and a founding story. The story is the lock. Juliette is an engineer, which matters: she trusts the machine more than the speech about the machine. The show is on her side, and it is right to be.

It is a thriller, so it withholds. Season one pays the withholding off with a real question about who a people is allowed to be told they are. Stay through that answer. Do not need every later tunnel. A house can use the picture of a mechanic who would rather see the outside than repeat the catechism.

Journal

Keep Silo in the record.

Live Historic number 68. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety are the thin ones.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

The eight

8
Industry
Engineering keeps the silo alive. Her competence is the plot.
4
Household
Pairs and losses. The silo is the household, crowded and rule-bound.
4
Piety
The founding story functions as a religion. She treats it as a claim.
8
Courage
She walks toward the door everyone is afraid of.
8
Republic
The subject is whether a people may be governed by a lie that keeps them alive.
6
Temperance
The dread is the design. It is not a gore reel.
9
Truth
The forbidden video is a fact. The regime is the story about the fact.
7
Stewardship
What she owes is the next generation of people who will live in the can.

Young Sheldon

68Worth an evening.

A real family, a devout mother, a father who goes to work. The laugh is sometimes at them. The love is not.

The review

The joke of the premise is that a brilliant child is hard to live with. The surprise, if you only know the later sitcom, is that this one loves the people who live with him. George goes to work. Mary prays and is not treated as an idiot for it, even when the writers want the laugh. Missy and the grandmother keep the house from becoming a shrine to the prodigy.

Good for the family past the youngest years. Some episodes aim a joke at church or at a parent's body that you can skip without losing the story. Keep the ones where the boy has to apologize.

Consider this

When Hope Calls

79 instead of 68

When Hope Calls is still a family show, and it scores 79 instead of 68. What you gain is courage: They take in a child when it costs them the peace of the house.
