Chris is a Senior News Writer for Collider. He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell upwards into a senior position despite his best efforts.
For reasons unknown, he enjoys analyzing box office receipts, giant sharks, and has become known as the go-to man for all things Bosch, Mission: Impossible and Christopher Nolan in Collider's news division. Recently, he found himself yeehawing along to the Dutton saga on the Yellowstone Ranch.
He is proficient in sarcasm, wit, Photoshop and working unfeasibly long hours. Amongst his passions sit the likes of the history of the Walt Disney Company, the construction of theme parks, steam trains and binge-watching Gilmore Girls with a coffee that is just hot enough to scald him.
His obsession with the Apple TV+ series Silo is the subject of mockery within the Senior News channel, where his feelings about Taylor Sheridan's work are enough to make his fellow writers roll their eyes.

Since Season 2 premiered in late 2024, Silo has been a near-constant presence in Apple TV’s rankings. It even surged to the No. 1 spot at various points, holding its ground against heavy hitters like Slow Horses, Shrinking, The Morning Show, and fellow sci-fi standout Severance.
But in a recent shift, the series has seen a dramatic shift in its fortunes, with Hijack claiming the top position. Even lower-profile titles like Tehran and Drops of God are currently charting above it. Now, just months before Season 3 is expected to arrive in 2026, the dystopian sci-fi favorite has been knocked out of the platform’s Top 10 entirely — a surprising shift for one of Apple’s most consistent performers.
Based on Hugh Howey’s bestselling novels, Silo is set in a future where humanity’s last survivors live in massive underground structures, cut off from the outside world. Anyone who breaks the rules is sent to the surface — supposedly to confirm whether Earth is survivable again. Rebecca Ferguson leads the series as Juliette Nichols, an engineer who finds herself pulled into a conspiracy that shakes the very foundation of her silo. The cast also includes Steve Zahn, Rashida Jones, Tim Robbins, Harriet Walter, Common, Iain Glen, and Tanya Moodie.
How Good Is 'Silo'?
Collider’s Tania Hussain awarded the second season an 8/10, praising its “uniquely immersive environment” and “razor-sharp writing,” adding that “by grounding its Orwellian elements into tense yet relatable human struggles, Silo continues to surpass the genre… emerging as a masterful exploration of isolation and survival through Ferguson’s nuanced portrayal.” She wrote:
"With its 10 episodes this season, the Silo world is truly expanding and the supporting performances amplify so much of the stakes. Exemplifying a sad and almost heartwrenching portrayal of loneliness with a childlike wonder, Steve Zahn is at his absolute best in a barren playground where his character, Solo, creates the rules. It’s the chemistry he shares with Ferguson that creates a dynamic sort of interplay that contrasts her serious demeanor with a spirited and lively approach. He is every bit a compelling counterpart to Juliette, and one we see most terrifically evolve across the series."
Silo Seasons 1 and 2 are streaming now on Apple TV. Season 3 has wrapped production, while Season 4 continues to shoot. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates.
