Devs (2020)

Written by Thimble on November 12, 2022

If Devs had been a 2 hour movie, I would've felt differently, but stretching it out over an entire series makes the experience feel tiring.

I really wanted to like it. There are good performances, and it's rare to find a show dive into interesting concepts. The problem is that it doesn't really dive in. It just splashes around on the surface for 10 hours, then takes an abrupt left turn at the very end rather than actual deliver an answer to the questions its asking.

If you don't mind that, you might still want to check it out, but I wouldn't expect it to deliver on the promise of the first two episodes. If you're interested in the concepts, I think it's better to just research the actual material.
