Hollywood is covered with love stories. Some hidden, others on the low, and a select few cleverly crafted seamlessly into the main arc. A lot of love stories show how resilient love as an emotion is, captivating audiences as the main actor navigates all the challenges thrown at him or her in a bid to attain what is much desired; either once lost or to be attained. Some others are quite tragic and forces you to acknowledge how unfair reality can be, as characters on screen we feel attached to faces challenges and losses.
There are a lot of these stories in Hollywood, some fiction while others even sadly truly happened.
Today, this surprisingly poetic epistle is dedicated to one of the most unassuming love stories I've seen. Before you go on guessing, no, it's not the Titanic, as you should have noticed from the title. Neither is it Braveheart–although romantic love may not be the central story but they put it in there nonetheless.
Without much ado, I discovered the most tragic love story I've seen on TV, in a series called Silo.
I know there are several love stories in the series, most of them tragic if not all. However, the most tragic love story is between Mayor Bernard and Judge Meadows. In Season 2, episode 4, Mayor ‘had to’ poison Judge Meadows to allegedly protect the silo and the pact. Had to in quote because I fail to believe that's the only way around the situation.
Even more tragic is that after finding out, she spends her final hours not hating him, but by his side all the same.
This validates my thesis that The series ‘Silo’ must have come out of one of the most twisted storytelling minds in modern day entertainment.
Silo’s future
Silo premiered on the 5th of May 2023 on Apple TV, Silo is a series in the Sci-Fi genre. Written by Hugh Howey, the show is currently at two seasons, but there's confirmation of two other seasons on the way. After the completion of the second season, fans have majorly been in shock and there has been a lot of speculation about the future of the show. The continuation of the show into the third and fourth seasons has come as good news.
Season 3 is said to be being worked on currently. Further, season 4 has been confirmed that it will be the final season of the show as fans and critics and fans alike are mostly speculative about what Silo has to offer going forward.
