Amaya is a tech company run by CEO Forest (Nick Offerman) with a mysterious division called Devs. They are using quantuum computer to do something unbelievable. Lily Chan (Sonoya Mizuno) is a coder in the company. Her boyfriend Sergei gets accepted into Devs and promptly disappears. She finds a mysterious program in his phone. He apparently committed suicide by self-immolation but her investigation uncovers something else.

This limited miniseries is created by Alex Garland who gave us Ex Machina among others. In style, there is something familiar in all of his directing work. He has an unique visual language. In substance, he continues to dip into the more esoteric side of sci-fi. It's a little off of center and gives him a different voice. The main deficit is the lead, Sonoya Mizuno. She is obviously one of his muses since she's been in a few of his movies. She does have the feel of an every woman which helps to keep her shocked mannerisms. Her stick figure helps give her frailty. I keep thinking that this character needs an actor with much bigger screen presence and bigger emotive acting. She's in a Kafkaesque situation and she needs to show being overwhelmed. It's not that she's bad but her character could be much more powerful. On the hand, Offerman is much better at giving the show its mercurial leader. The idea is compelling although the thrills are not always there. It's a fascinating show.
