“Silo” (TV-MA) – In a dystopian future where Earth has become toxic and unlivable, a giant silo deep underground hosts a community of men, women and children. The people who live in this silo don’t know any information besides the fact that the outside world isn’t safe; they don’t know even how long they’ve been underground. The citizens of the silo are only supposed to abide by the rules and never ask to go outside – or they’ll be forced to leave. But, when a rule gets broken and death starts to sweep over the silo, one engineer, Juliette, realizes she must find out the truth about what lies outside of the silo, and why they’re even there in the first place. Starring Rebecca Ferguson, Rashida Jones, David Oyelowo and Common, the first three episodes of this sci-fi series are out now. (AppleTV+)
“Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me” (TV-MA) – Released on May 16, this documentary walks viewers through the life of model and actress Anna Nicole Smith, who died from an accidental overdose at the young age of 39, back in 2007. Before she was Anna Nicole Smith, she was Vickie Lynn Hogan – a soft-spoken girl from Houston who had dreams so big she could get lost in them. Said to only be known by a very short list of people, Smith skyrocketed to fame by dialing into that bombshell, Marilyn-Monroe-inspired persona of herself, but in the end, it wound up costing her life.
