Remember, we got to loop it through Jones!
I actually think this is a fair take and I see where you’re coming from. There is definitely a certain type for “streaming service sci-fi” shows and Silo falls into it. I had the same reaction to “Man in the High Castle” and I decided to skip The Rings of Power and Foundation because of this.
I am a huge fan of FO1/FO2 (and New Vegas), but I’ve given up on the franchise otherwise (there are better modern alternatives).
I guess with Silo it helped that I never read the novels. I can’t watch shows that butcher the core concept of my favourite novels. I am also curious about the lore. On the bright side, I did start reading the Silo books.
No idea regarding automation, but you can get (some) 4K TV series off rutracker (a public tracker).

The site itself is in russian, but search queries in English work perfectly.
Content from English speaking countries almost always (literally around ~99.9% of the time) includes the original English audio track. You will have to manually set language priority in your video client as russian audio is set as the default track, but this should be easy to do.
Keep in mind that non-English movies/series will include the original audio and a russian dub/VO, English dub/VO will not be included. English subs are typically provided for non-English content.
This is actually a well done scifi anthology series that respects many of the themes and motifs present across Philip K. Dick’s works.
While I have not read the short stories (I’ve mostly read his novels; about ~20 of them), many of the episodes have that psychedelic edge that Philip K. Dick is known for.
