Since the premiere Silage surprised me with its unique story. Based on the trilogy of books of the same name by Hugh Howey, the series, created by Graham Yost, tells the story of a dystopian universe marked by uncertainty. The story follows survivors of an unspecified apocalypse, trapped in a cylindrical structure underground. Although they have been protected for over a century, no one knows who built this place or what awaits them outside. In fact, the maximum punishment in a society that developed inside the bunker, must be thrown into the inhospitable world waiting outside.
During the first season, Juliet Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson), part of the team keeping the structure running, began to investigate the truth. Something that forced her to follow a complex web of clues until she discovered that the Founders, leaders and visible heads of the Bunker were hiding information or outright lying. Amid the first signs of rebellion, Bernard (Tim Robbins) set a trap for the character and sentenced him to expulsion. A decision that would theoretically doom Juliet to death.
Only everything happened wrong. Instead, the engineer managed to make his way through the desert landscape surrounding the bunker and make sure that this was not the only such structure. Puzzled by the discovery, Juliet decided to investigate on her own until she got to the next one. This, although he left the inhabitants of his city plunged into despair, fear and the certainty that they believed everything, was a lie. At the other end Juliet began her journey which would lead her to several complex discoveries about the structures and their purpose.
The second season, in which there are more questions than answers
During any new delivery SilageThe plot branched in two directions. On the one hand, the original structure suffered from the consequences of Juliet surviving her exile and continuing on her way. An unexpected event that made it clear that the insistence of the Founders – led by Bernard – to keep them locked up had no justification. The question gave way to others: is there life outside the bunker? Why should they stay inside? Without explanation and under cruel control, Subversive activity among the inhabitants of the structure was inevitable.
On the other hand, Juliet’s arrival at Bunker 17 and the various discoveries she made there. The most alarming thing was that it was empty, and only one person remained alive. In addition, the remaining residents died as a result of the outbreak of violence under conditions of isolation and isolation. More importantly: a detailed plan that explains in detail why the air outside is toxic. So the character realized that he had to return to his home to explain how he managed to survive and what actually awaits them outside the closed hatches. At the same time, reveal all the secrets of protection and their scope of application. Namely: Who or what activates the poison that poisons the surrounding buildings.
Both season finale scenarios are ambiguous. Juliet manages to repair her suit and return on foot to the original bunker. At the same time, both the inhabitants of the warehouse and the engine room organized increasingly aggressive resistance to Bernard and his men. So they’re just waiting for a sign to make the long-awaited—and dangerous—attempt. transition to the outside world.
So seeing Juliet’s image through the dining room screens and confirming that she is alive is the point of no return. The character faithfully recreates one of the series’ most iconic images – a figure retreating into an inhospitable wasteland – but this time he leans into the security camera and wipes the lens. A gesture that shows that she is healthy and sane. Also, about to log in again.
A conclusion exploring the world of The Bunker.
But while her very presence proves that it is possible to survive outside the bunker, Juliet knows that her conditions were unique. As you will remember, part of the punishment of exile is that the condemned person wears a defective suit through which poison from outside is filtered. But in Juliet’s case, supply workers tried to close any possible gaps. therefore, she was able to continue on her way without getting into the toxic atmosphere.
Of course, no one knows about this except herself and those involved, so she tries to warn that it is not safe outside. Not knowing if they understand her, Juliet hurries along the path leading to the bunker. Once there, he encounters Bernard, who is going through a critical situation. Becoming an outcast within the construction and subjected to the pressure of having to lead the government in the midst of an uprising, he is at the limit of his will and sanity. So he decides to go out and die. In the midst of a confusing moment, both characters come face to face.
Juliet needs to know who is activating the poison outside and why they are doing it. On the contrary, Bernard knows who or what is behind everything, but he does not want to reveal it. But before they can come to an agreement or even figure out what to tell the others, the construction door begins to close. As a result, they become trapped in the airlock corridor, which activates a security and disinfection mechanism, including fanning the fire inside. The scene ends with no indication of who survived the situation, or even if anyone survived.
An unexpected twist that opens the door to the third season of The Bunker
After Blackout, the last scene of the second season of the series Silagego back in time. Which allows you to show the entire frame of the city of Washington, DC, as well as two unknown characters. Daniel (Ashley Zuckerman) and Helen (Jessica Henwick), a young couple who, by all appearances, You meet at a bar to have a good time.
But what seems like a romantic date soon turns out to be something more complicated. It was then that it turned out that Dan was a congressman and Helen was a journalist. She is especially interested in learning about what she calls the dirty bomb in New Orleans and the growing tensions between North America and Iran. And although there are no signs or any other indication of the moment when the event occurred, it is obvious that this is a jump into the past, long before the construction of the bunkers.
Something that becomes apparent when Dan gives Helen a duck-shaped dispenser toy. The figure, which according to the plot Silageis a prohibited item. At the same time, it is a symbol of how little the inhabitants of the building know about their past. The turn of events indicates that the third season, already confirmed, along with the fourth and final season, will focus on the events that led to the creation of the construct.An intriguing panorama that opens up all sorts of possibilities for the series.
