Created and written by Alex Garland (Ex Machina), and starring Sonoya Mizuno and Nick Offerman, we follow Lily Chan (Mizuno), a mid-level cryptology engineer at Amaya, a massive quantum computing company ran by CEO Forest (Offerman). When her boyfriend and also employee of Amaya gets accepted into the secret internal project known only as "devs" she must follow him into the terrifying world of maniacal thought leaders and computational powers never previously believed. I can't help but compare to the likes of Ex Machina as there are so many similar sub-themes, Devs is a fun ride however is certainly slow at many parts and in the end of its single season eight episode run I honestly think this narrative would have fit a longer movie much better than this series, which feels dragged out. For a massive international organization the number of characters are pretty tight, for plot reasons, and personally I'm not the biggest fan of Garland's conversational writing. Ignoring many of the hand-wavy physics and computer jargon, the plot is neat, but more in that "woah dude" twist at end that thinks its outrageously clever than anything of real substance, but I got what he was trying to do. All said after taking a step away from it its fairly lame the more scrutiny it gets. I just spent a lot more time squinting skeptically at the screen that I would have liked. Alison Pill as Forest's second-in-command was fun, Offerman himself was fine, and I have to say bravo to Mizuno, her performance was quite impressive. Again, I didn't love the character or all its writing, but her ability to play an analytical, introvert was impressive. In the end, if you like sci-fi and tech related shows you'll likely enjoy this, it's fairly good. I'll leave you with my favourite exchange: "That's impossible!" "No... it's big data."
