Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation) show that has decent reviews.


"Devs" is an FX limited series that focuses on a young software engineer named Lily Chan who works for Amaya, a cutting-edge tech company based in Silicon Valley. After her boyfriend Sergei's apparent suicide, Lily suspects foul play and begins to investigate. She quickly realizes that all roads lead to Forest, Amaya's enigmatic CEO, and Devs, the company's secret development division. In Lily's quest to discover the truth, she uncovers a technology-based conspiracy that could change the world.

After I finish up Sinners, I think I'll check it out.

Really liking it so far. Same feel and tone as Ex Machina/Annihilation.

Only complaint is that Nick Offerman feels miscast.

I can believe that. When I saw his name in it, I actually Googled him to make sure I wasn't crazy ("wait...Ron Swanson?".

I'm through Episode 3 and really enjoying it. It is hard to to accept Offerman in this role. Not enough to really hurt the show though. If I hadn't watched P&R, I might not even think about it.

Damn this show is excellent. Imo, it's up there with Mr. Robot for the first season.

I'm assuming that I just saw the season finale if not the series finale. It was OK in terms of tying everything up but wasn't an "oh shit" kind of thing.
When I reflect on the full season, I'd recommend watching this stoned or at least a little high.

Show is damn good in terms of semi-vapid “really makes you think” bong smoke philosophy. Thoroughly entertaining no matter what. I enjoyed the ending but it also feels hollow. Just a show that keeps you feeing uneasy the entire time.

I did. Probably one of my top 10ish favorite movies.
