Men and women live in a giant silo underground with several regulations which they believe are in place to protect them from the toxic and ruined world on the surface.. Whether they are exploring the stars, escaping dystopias, or making the world a better place, these women are what science fiction is all about.. Season 1 covers the first 30 chapters of the book "Wool" – the book has 82 chapters.. The fans on the floor in various episodes turn in the wrong direction, regarding the orientation of the blades. Rotating this way does not push or pull any air.. Featured in WatchMojo: Top 10 2023 TV Shows You Need to Binge (2023). It's an interesting take on the underground bunker story, of a people who survived underground for such a long time that a civilization arose within it, with lore, myths, beliefs, rituals and ceremonies that are rooted in events that have been forgotten, and a status quo social structure is founded. And when that status quo that preserves the order is questioned, enforcement and punishment follows. A power structure forms, creating a stratified populace, both figuratively and literally, from top to bottom of the silo. That's the premise, and while not entirely original (think Snowpiercer, Dark City, etc.), there is enough novelty here and seems well-executed for a TV series.Good acting by Oyelowo, with familiar faces in n Rashida Jones and Will Patton. (But as you can tell from the show poster, they are guest stars who will give way to the regular cast, with Rebecca Ferguson as the lead. ) The show appears to be pretty decent, with good production values. There are elaborate sets and good CGI to provide a believable atmosphere.Though a suspicious mind will pick on some obvious conspiracies early on, there are mysteries being uncovered that will keep me watching.
