Yeah it's definitely clear watching Silo that they know where they're going.
Similar for me with Severance. I thought about rewatching season 1 but I'd always been worried it might go full mystery box so I didn't want to invest too much in it despite enjoying that first season a lot.
It's not like I need everything resolved and neatly tied up. I'm fine with some things going unexplained. But this season gave us *nothing*. I want to feel some *progress*.
