Rebecca Ferguson in Silo. | Image: Apple The latest sci-fi series on Apple TV Plus is more than just another post-apocalyptic drama. Based on trailers and images, it’s pretty easy to write off Silo as yet another dour post-apocalyptic story. It’s all grey and brown and miserable, with the remnants of humanity holed up in an underground silo to avoid the poisonous world outside. You’d be excused for mistaking it for something like The Hunger Games or Divergent. But setting aside, Silo doesn’t have much in common with the rest of the genre. It’s more of a small-town murder mystery that just happens to take place after the world ends. Silo, based on the novels of the same name by…

Macworld If you’re reading this story on a browser, you’ll see a small lock icon in the address bar just like you would if you were reading something on 9to5Mac, the Verge, or Apple’s site. For years, it’s been a universal symbol of safety and security… and now Google has announced that it’s going away. Why? Because the lock never actually meant what people thought it meant.

The show immediately became the most-watched show on Apple TV+. The first season…
