The men and women live in a giant silo underground with few rules they believe are in place to protect them from the toxic and broken world on the surface.. Whether exploring the stars, escaping dystopias or making the world a better place, these women are what science fiction is.. Season 1 covers the first 30 chapters of the book "Wave" - the book has 82 chapters. The floor fans in various episodes rotate in the wrong direction as far as blade orientation is concerned. Spinning this way doesn't push or pull any air.. Featured on WatchMojo: Top 10 of 2023 TV Shows You Should Be Drinking (2023). This is an interesting look at the history of the underground bunker for people who survived underground for so long that a civilization arose within it with lore, myths, beliefs, rituals and ceremonies rooted in events that had been forgotten and was established social structure of the status quo. And when this status quo, which preserves order, is called into question, coercion and punishment follow. A power structure is formed, creating a stratified population, both figuratively and literally, from the top to the bottom of the silo. That's the premise, and while it's not entirely original (think Snowpiercer, Dark City, etc.), there's enough novelty here and it seems well-executed for a TV series. Good acting by Oyelowo, with familiar faces in Rashida Jones and Will Patton. (But as you can tell from the show's poster, they are guest stars who will make way for the regular cast, with Rebecca Ferguson as the host.) The show looks pretty decent, with good production values. There are elaborate sets and good CGI to ensure a believable atmosphere. While a suspicious mind will pick up on some obvious conspiracies early on, there are mysteries that unfold that will keep me watching.
