Synopsis
Devs is a sci-fi thriller miniseries created by Alex Garland. Set within a cutting-edge tech company in Silicon Valley, it follows Lily Chan, a software engineer who investigates the mysterious death of her boyfriend after he joins the company’s secretive development division, known as “Devs.” As Lily uncovers the truth, she’s drawn into a world of quantum computing, determinism, and moral ambiguity that challenges the boundaries of free will and fate.
Reviews
“It’s a deep, dark, wild ride. How much of it deals in pure imagination and how much of it is grounded in stuff already here I don’t know. And please — nobody tell me. It’s better this way.”
The Guardian
“Amid the glut of prestige TV, it turns out that a smart, experimental sci-fi show that knows entertainment value and depth aren’t mutually exclusive still feels like something special.”
Time
‘Time and again in Devs, free will clashes with fate. Even if you were shown exactly what will happen in the next minute, the next hour, the next day, is there anything you could do to alter that timeline?”
