Even at the end of the video on that Apple webpage it says "January 
4-5". Maybe some people are getting confused *if* the legalese small 
print says something like "midnight Friday to midnight Sunday", but 
that really just means Saturday and Sunday.

Sorry, I don't know about Silo season 2. I haven't even started season 
1 yet (it is on the very long and ever-growing list to try).
