We discussed our initial impressions of “Devs”<\/a> on an episode of the Original Content podcast<\/a> a few weeks ago, shortly after the show launched on FX\/Hulu. At the time, we observed that although the show made time for bits of Silicon Valley satire, the mood was mostly one of mystery and dread.<\/p>\n

Now that we know the full story, it seemed like a good time to revisit our discussion. If anything, the dread increases over the course of the show’s first and only season, becoming oppressive and overwhelming as writer-director Alex Garland lays out the full implications of a mysterious quantum computing project known as Devs.<\/p>\n

Our reactions to the story’s heady philosophical atmosphere varied — Jordan found the whole thing a bit ponderous, while Anthony and Darrell were completely happy to follow Garland into arguments about determinism versus free will, and to debate the implications of the show’s final episode.<\/p>\n

At the very least, we all agreed that there’s nothing on television quite like it. Plus, the show features strong performances from Nick Offerman as a tormented tech CEO and Alison Pill as the Devs project’s steely leader.<\/p>\n
