Devs

Alex Garland's "Devs" is one of the most complex shows that I've ever seen. There have been plenty of techno-thrillers, but not like this one. Like "The Good Place", it focuses on what it means to be human. If you only know Nick Offerman from comedic roles, you'll be impressed with his performance here.

Great story. I'll watch the entire series, but not because of Sonoya Mizuno She is NOT a headliner. Not even close. More like a first week acting student...not convincing at all.

Overall great show that is worth watching. I only have two complaints. The lead character annoyed me and I found myself not caring about what happened to her. I'm not sure if she was purposely written this way, but I found myself just tolerating her for the story, which was mostly great. This leads me to my second complaint, the ending. It wasn't bad. It was just a "yeah that's fine I guess" type of thing, which is not what I had hoped for after such a great story up until than. These two complaints are still well worth putting up with to watch the show. Also, Nick Offerman nailed his role in this.

Ponderous. Strange. Tense. Artistic. It's a brilliant piece of filmmaking that won't appeal to everyone. But if you like thoughtful scifi with strong drama and plot twists, this is for you. A bit of Kubrick meets Nolan. I loved the first two episodes and can't wait for more!

The whole atmosphere and story is amazing, but I really can't figure out why the lead actor was chosen. She's as interesting as watching the grass grow, and as deep as a sheet of paper.
