I’m more of a loose seal, really.
I’m three episodes in and was totally unprepared for how creepy Severance is

Strap in. Ep 4 is going to blow your doors off.
Now I discover that my downloads somehow skipped episodes 2 and 3, so I was even more confused, and what Ray said was ep 4 was what I had already seen and thought was just ep 2
Summary
Which made Helly’s actions seem really inexplicable
Silo started last night and it’s off to the races. Really phenomenal acting by Rashida Jones in particular.

Really intriguing and well acted all around. Agree on Jones’ performance.
Snowpiercer meets 10 Cloverfield Lane.

I figured that the “spacesuits” were killing the cleaners, but that was debunked when Holston took off his helmet. So…umm…dunno.
I have read the full Silo series at least twice so I’m going to try hard to not spoil anything. I would address your comment/question in your spoiler text, but I’m not sure that what’s obvious to me is as obvious to first-time viewers.

This is a book series first? Would you recommend it?
I just got pissed because Apple TV was showing me spacesuits and it wasn’t FAM S4

Wool, Shift, and Dust, by Hugh Howey. They are all pretty good, and easy reads.

Self-published initially, I believe.

Yep, and not even as a whole novel. Pretty incredible to go from a collection of self-published short stories to a big-budget TV show.

Same as “The Martian”. It started as a blog.
Severance S1 E6-9:
Holy shit.

Seriously, E9 was one of the best episodes of TV in a long, long time.

The finale is as tense and dramatic a piece of TV that you’re ever likely to see.

I read an interesting interview with Ben Stiller that the structure of “24” was an inspiration for that episode.
I thought that the finale of FAM S2 was about as palm-sweatingly as it gets. I don’t like all the shows on Apple TV+, but they are all well made and some are absolutely fantastic.
Apple TV has a much, much higher batting average with their originals than the other streamers.

I don’t know how much they spend on their shows, but Amazon reportedly spends over $40 million per episode of Citadel. I am enjoying the show, but it doesn’t look as good as any of the Apple shows; E3 had some cringeworthy CGI that would look more at home on U-62.
You’re making me want to watch the whole series again.
