Is anyone watching the 3rd series.

I was really looking forward to it but am totally unengaged.

Or rather confused. I keep thinking I must have missed an episode.

It is of course not the same as the first series at all, and quite different from series 2.

Although I have found the thread about series 2 and I see I predicted that I wasn't sure about what might be the direction of series 3.

Yea I’m a bit confused to and also thought I must have missed an episode. Suddenly parts of the silo seem ultra modern when it was all pretty gritty before. And wasn’t the Harriet Walker character afraid to leave her own rooms? She seems to have gotten over that phobia.

I sort of understand or assume the modern bit is to explain how everyone ened up in Silos but i just find it boring

But you are right about the Harriet Walter character.

It feels like from the end of series 2 when she successfully got back to her home Silo that series 3 it is some time later in the Silo.

It’s very odd. The character that we’ve been following as smart and capable is now completely neutered. Tim Robbins who was great is dead and replaced by a computer. And the main thing is now these memory wiping medications and nothing about cleaning or the other silos. Not sure where it’s going.

Thanks, that sort of explains to me why I am confused or rather just feel it has become about something else!

I've yet to watch season 3 but have read the books! Has it gone back in time to explain why and how the Silos were created?

I think this is what the new strand is. But as I said up thread, I am finding that so boring not really following the details.

I've read the books and I think they have diverged massively.

I've not read the books, but I do really like this show. Agree that the first few episodes were slow, but the last one was really good and it is much like older episodes in other series. I think as usual, it's getting interesting in the later episodes.

I've stopped watching it but was thinking maybe when all episodes are available I will try a binge watch and see it that helps!

We always wait now until all episodes are available to watch for all programmes. We hate waiting week by week and will binge watch a series over a weekend.

A binge watch does definitely help with enjoyment
I would probably have given up by now but watch with partner and he didnt want to.
We both thought the last episode was better.

Agree I started binge watching when I realised that in fact week by week was pointless. I would spend the first half of a new episode trying to remember what happened in the last episode, and then the second half realising because I had been trying to remember hadn't really followed plot developments in current episodes!

Is this the only thread… no one watching anymore? It’s much improved in the second half of series 3

Thanks for that info. I have decided to renew my sub once the whole series is shown. Apparently 10 episodes.

Then I can binge watch and maybe get into it a bit more.

I did hear there will be a 4th and final series next year.

I’m still watching! Just watched today’s penultimate episode - what an ending. I’ve progressively enjoyed the flash back sections and agree this series has got better as it went along.

God I'd completely forgotten about it (which isn't a great sign!), been watching Reacher and Ludwig instead.

Thanks for the reminder, are all the episodes up now?

Final episode 4 September! I know because I have left myself a note to renew sub ...

Very late to the thread. I have been watching since the beginning and last nights episode was explosive.

Took me a while to get used to the switch between the before and now time but in the last few episodes it worked really well.

I've not seen the latest episode as yet.
But, I am bored beyond belief with it all now.

Very good episode last night. I've always liked Silo because it doesn't ram action and crazy plot lines down your throat for the sake of it, but there was a lot going on last night and it was a good thing.

We started watching series 3 last night. Went back and watched the last 2 episodes of season 2 first which was really helpful. We will crack on with it now - although I don't think DP is really enjoying it.

Yep, I am not enjoying it,only watching because DH wants to.Thankfully only 2 left...
I think I only really watch for Juliet, when shes not on screen its lacking for me.
Anyone watched/ing Dark Matter? just watched the first one of season 2, that I can recommend.

I did manage first episode again (having watched it when it was first released) and did get into it a bit more.

But still finding the current(?) time period a bit boring.

I started watching episode 2 but realised I wasn't really concentrating.

But will try again tonight.

(I so want to be as gripped as I was by earlier series.)

I'm really enjoying it but I do think it helps that I've read the books so I sort of know what's happening.

Like any series derived from a book there is loads that's missed out. It just blows my mind that they're down there and have been for 300+ years. How many bloomin light bulbs did they have to begin with.

I am enjoying it too.

I didn't realise it was based on books, will put them on my library list.

I like Dark Matter too but had to watch a recap before starting s2 as I had forgotten a lot.
