Boring plodding character arc.

This episode of "The Silo" was a huge letdown. The story was so boring and predictable that I could guess what would happen next. The characters were dull and stereotypical, and I felt no connection or empathy with them. The lead sheriff was especially nonsensical jumping from emotion to emotion her boring backstory that added nothing to the plot. The editing was terrible, with the silo being so dark that I could barely see anything. It was a frustrating and unsatisfying experience to watch this episode.

I do not recommend it to anyone who is looking for a quality TV show with a good story and engaging characters.

This is a skippable filler episode and really worrying for the future of the series.

I hope the sheriff isnt the main character, thrusting an unknown actress into the place of well known and experienced actors is a bait and switch.

Unfortunately Otherlife becomes almost unwatchable at the half way. Going from great sci-fi to incredibly drawn out, almost unwatchable nonsensical TV drama. The characters become almost Comedic in their motivations. Avoid at all cost.

I am a massive film of both the original films and TV show, they captured Asian dystopia like nothing had before. A perfect blend of both the time it was made and the time it imagined.

Therefore when it came to a Hollywood adaptation i had the biggest doubts and the original feedback was terrible, even cutting its debut short in my country. I proceeded to push back watching the film until almost a year later.

I was mistaken to. The film is far from a bad adaptation, it manages to capture the same de-saturated enigmatic future in all aspects, including story. Its watered down, yes. Enough to make it a modern, viable, cinema going mass market experience but they still take chances with timing and shots that are more accurate to the 1995 Anime.

This is a great go at an Anime adaption, and although i would prefer An Asian lead, I hope following Anime adaptions keep the same ability to transfer the smell, the root feel of an Anime.
