'Silo' season 3: Common and Alexandria Riley talk shocking truths and writers tearing their on-screen marriage apart (interview)
Warning: Potential "Silo" Spoilers Ahead! Get back in the Silo if you aren't up to date! Apple TV's " Silo" season 3 is nearing its final two episodes, depicting the Before Times’ doomsday silo project as well as the shakeup inside Silo 18 with Juliette’s memory returning.
The ongoing tempest includes Camille Sims (Alexandria Riley) having to prevent a Safeguard extermination as the new Head of IT this year, and the revelation of ex-security chief Robert Sims (Common) regarding Bernard (Tim Robbins).
With the married couple of Robert and Camille Sims careening off onto very different moral trajectories, Camille must confront troubling truths as her conscience plummets into the pits of Hades, while Robert is on a profound journey of salvation.
"The writers are incredible on this show, and we were so excited when we first saw what they were going to do," Riley tells Space.
"It was said to us in a harsh way.
They said, 'We’re going to tear you apart.' As an actor, for both of us, it was so fun to play with.
"We see a whole roller coaster of emotions that these two go through," continues Riley.
"I think it's interesting as an audience because we’ve come from such a stable unit where we’ve been the most level and the most tactical.
So to shake that up and splinter them off has been a real trip for me.

It is redemptive, but it's scary too, because as a character he doesn't know where he is right now.
