How a staircase anchors an underground dystopian universe in the Apple TV + show Silo
5:28
Silo is Apple TV Plus’ new dystopian sci-fi show. The premise is that something very bad happened to the Earth a very long time ago but that no one is quite sure exactly what that was. The result is that the surviving humans now toil under the ground in a world that is deep, dark, and connected by a sprawling staircase. Zosha Millman, TV editor at Polygon, and creator of the newsletter Thirty, Flirty and Film, talked to the show's creators about the universe they've created and the staircase at the centre of it all.
