The two installments, the latter of which recently premiered on Apple TV+, follow Ferguson’s mechanic as she reluctantly takes over Holston’s position as sheriff, much to the chagrin of both Tim Robbins’ Bernard and Common’s Robert Sims. It’s only in its third and fourth episodes that Silo fully turns its attention to Juliette. Unfortunately, when it then looks like Ferguson’s Juliette will get to team up with Holston to uncover Silo’s greatest mysteries, the latter character follows in his wife’s footsteps and seemingly dies. It’s not until the final minutes of Silo’s premiere that the series’ actual lead, a headstrong engineer named Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson), is introduced. Following its opening flashforward, the episode spends the majority of its runtime exploring how Jones’ Allison went from the content wife of Oyelowo’s Holston, their silo’s publicly appointed sheriff, to a distrustful woman desperate to leave her society behind. Silo’s first episode revolves entirely around Allison and Holston Becker. They’ve also made Silo’s story feel all the more dangerous. The deaths themselves haven’t just been shocking. What’s even more impressive than Silo’s willingness to say goodbye to some of its biggest stars is how well it has - forgive the pun - justified their exits. While it’s still unclear whether Rashida Jones’ Allison Becker and David Oyelowo’s Holston died when they walked outside of the show’s eponymous, underground silo as well, they’ve been, at the very least, narratively killed off for the time being by the sci-fi series. That includes Geraldine James’ Ruth Jahns, the honorable mayor who gets mysteriously poisoned at the end of Silo’s third installment. To make matters all the more shocking, many of the characters that Silo has killed off have been played by some of the show’s most recognizable stars.
