Mystery Box like “Lost” can be incredible, and offers full of conspiracies and myths that raise questions and guess while keeping the character drama engaged. But mystery box can also be stumbled by the same puzzles that many do not have to progress – like most of the “missing” copies that came after the success of this offer.

This is what makes a “silo” Unique and so great that Stephen King recommended it as a necessary puzzle show. This is a science fiction movie with a lot of puzzles, but because characters cannot stop their life and think about these questions, we as an audience accept that we do not get easy answers (at least not for a while). Along with just the presence of unforgettable and well -written characters, the way it does not make it does not make the puzzles feel that they are urgent towards characters that make it easy to follow because they reveal things slowly.

Based on the Hugh Howe series of the same name, “Silo” is done in a determined future where humanity was apparently eliminated and the survivors are forced to hide in underground silos. Rebecca Ferguson plays the role of Juliet Nichols, an engineer who has turned into a sheriff who finds herself in the middle of the spider network of conspiracies and puzzles around the past and the present of the silos. Not only One of the best offers on Apple TV+, But one of the best science fiction offers in the past decade.

Among many of the many puzzles in “Silo”, and this may be under the radar of many fans relating to the citizens of the silo, a strange disease that only refer to it as “syndrome”. What is, and what causes it? This is what we know.

Since the beginning of the presentation, we have learned that some of the inhabitants of the solids suffer from a disease known as “syndrome”. Although the nature of the disease is somewhat mysterious, there are some things that we know with certainty.

The first mark of the syndrome is an inappropriate tingling, which then leads to shaking ends, followed by pain and muscle spasms. If this is not enough, the pain follows the loss of balance and weak movement. Finally, if a person with syndrome is not treated immediately, the infection reaches the brain and causes a cognitive function before the entire nervous system is closed.

We get some references to the situation in the first episodes of “Silo”, but even episode 6 of the first season that we meet Billings (Chinaza Uche), which coincides with the syndrome and keeps it hidden from everyone or may lose his function as people with syndrome syndrome. What is showing it is some accidental tingling, however, it makes it easy for him to hide.

Now, the series has not yet explained the exact causes of syndrome, but we hear from some characters that it is believed to be associated with a deficiency of vitamin or blood disorder. We know from Billings not to isolate himself from his family that the syndrome is not contagious, so what is it? The most likely answer is that the syndrome is a response to humans who live underground for a long time, completely free of natural sunlight or fresh air. The prolonged exposure to the syndrome silo environment can cause. This theory is supported by an interview with Graham Yost, the bidder from “Silo”, which clarified it directly SFX magazine, Saying that “humans were not supposed to live like this. Talking about it with Hugh (Hao), we reached something called” syndrome “. It is a nervous response to the pressure of living in these circumstances.” Yes, the syndrome is a completely original concept of presentation, not really something in Howe’s books.

Based on Yost’s comments, the syndrome can be just a psychological pill instead of this biological. Or, perhaps, there is something else. We know since the end of the second season of “Smells” that there is something called “Protection”, which unleashes toxic gas to a siloEveryone was killed there if they dared to rebel. However, if the silos that can do so, then why not create a kind of disease to keep the population in a critical position? Perhaps Season 3 will carry more answers.
