If you're tired of seeing CGI characters knock lumps out of each other in intense shake-o-vision, On The Rocks is the antidote. One of the things that's really great about Apple TV Plus is that it invests in movies that are a little more interesting than the average blockbuster.

It's a great mix of dystopian sci-fi and conspiracy thriller. I love The Verge's review: "It looks like The Hunger Games but turns into something closer to Fargo". But it soon becomes apparent that the silo is full of secrets – secrets that some people will do anything to suppress.īar one mid-series dip, this is edge of the seat stuff with Rebecca Ferguson as a weary Sheriff, Tim Robbins as her boss and Common as a man who you really don't want to get on the bad side of. Nobody knows what the event was, or who built the silo, or when it will be safe to go outside. Siloīased on the best-selling Wool book series, this epic and claustrophobic sci-fi thriller takes place far underground where thousands of people live in a silo after some apocalyptic event. There's simply nothing on TV like it and as for the ending. What if you could sever the work you from the other you, and neither version knew the other? That creates a drama which, as The Globe and Mail put it, "gains a thriller-like momentum as it moves along, and can be disturbing enough to be nightmarish". I'm loath to tell you more because I don't spoil anything, but I can give away the central concept. This dystopian drama features extraordinary performances by Adam Scott, Britt Lower and Patricia Arquette, but it's John Turturro and Christopher Walken who steal the show with their low-key but deeply affecting friendship. What starts off as a deeply disturbing office-based drama turns into something much bigger, much more sinister and despite the dread, often much funnier too.
