Nash had a more prominent role in Silo cast during the show's inaugural season, and Lukas being sent to the Silo 18 mines means his already reduced role in Season 2 could become even more trivial.

Warning: spoilers ahead for Silo Season 2, episodes 1 and 2!Although I'm enjoying it Silo Season 2, I can't help but miss the best part of what I loved so much about the first series of 2023 episodes. Silo cast remaining largely unchanged, the show isn't appealing to me as much as it once did. While it's great that the characters stayed in place, I can't help but feel that Apple TV+ hasn't been able to recapture the magic of a particular storyline. Let's hope the end Silo the first season will not come back to haunt the show's future…

The Ellie Kemper-led sitcom and the Charlie Cox-led superhero drama shared very little in common other than their New York City setting. However, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt I found a way to openly acknowledge Reckless in a very clever and meta way before the sitcom came to a natural conclusion after four seasons in 2019 and hit its stride. Inversely, Reckless Being cut after three seasons remains one of Netflix's most heartbreaking…

Warning: spoilers ahead for Silo season 2, episodes 1 and 2!With Rebecca Ferguson's Juliette Nichols trapped in a nearly empty structure, it may seem like it will be very difficult for her to return home in Silo Season 2, but there's actually a very simple way she could do this.
