Gripping 98%-Rated Post-Apocalypse Dystopia to Ease the Wait For Silo S2

The fantasy genre is so wide in variety it actually seems hard to call a sci-fi dystopia one. But what is it though? A series about a deadly flu that kills people and almost brings the world to an end sounds like a totally made-up thing, hopefully…

But we still have a particular name for shows like that: we call them post-apocalyptic. There are many series in this subgenre, but they all are quite about the same. However, there are several standouts.

For example, the 2023 series Silo made quite a splash in the world, as while being a post-apocalypse dystopia, it didn’t actually mention whatever it was that resulted in people living in an underground silo. Besides, it left us all longing for a season 2 which currently doesn’t even have a premiere date.

Well, it’s a good thing there is another outstanding series with a similar premise is a miniseries called Station Eleven. It's actually a post-apocalyptic saga that spans multiple timelines and tells the stories of survivors of a devastating flu.

The story unfolds as they do their best to rebuild and reimagine the world while holding on to the best of what's been lost. Those survivors are a Hollywood star and a group of actors, who travel back-and forth in time in an attempt to recreate the world they once knew.

Station Eleven is not your typical end of the world movie: it dives a lot deeper into the emotions and brings out whatever hidden fear you have inside.

“I couldn't even binge this show because every episode was so powerful that I was stuck in my head thinking about it for the rest of the day. It is absolutely phenomenal. I'm a 29 year old man and during the final episode I was bawling my eyes out. I never have a strong emotional reaction over shows and movies but here you could have thought I was at a funeral or something,” Redditor Regula96 said.

So, if you need the wait for Silo season 2 to feel less excruciating, Station Eleven is available to stream on Prime.
