Young computer engineer Lily Chan investigates the secretive development division of her employer, a cutting-edge tech company based in San Francisco, which she believes is behind the murder of her boyfriend.
- OctothornJanuary 20, 2026Devs is a case study in bad writing and direction hidden behind extreme self-seriousness and stylised presentation. Almost, but not quite, worth watching cautionarily. Horrible, but not amusingly. The series repeatedly asserts intelligence through jargon, credentialising scenes, and visual affect, but fails to demonstrate it through character behaviour, plot discipline, or causality. Exposition is heavy and often unnecessary, tension is signposted then instantly deflated, and implausible character and espionage logic undermine credibility rather than building stakes. For a detailed and entertaining teardown of these recurring failures, the Capital-O Opinions YouTube series documents the patterns clearly; once seen, they are hard to unsee.
- ZokkiieJuly 6, 2025Pretty trippy show. Super moody, slow, and kinda hypnotic. It’s definitely one of those “big ideas” sci-fi series that wants you to sit there and think about life, free will, the universe, all that. Looks amazing, sounds cool, but yeah — it drags a bit and can feel a little too serious for its own good. Still, if you're into deep, weird tech-y stuff, it’s a solid watch.
- AjayJune 5, 2025Devs, in my opinion, is full of good ideas, but has such poor execution that it suffers from not being able to realise them. Sonoya Mizono is completely unconvincing, and with her in the driver's seat, Nick Offerman and Allison Pill's forces are severely muted. But what let me down ultimately was the climax - or rather, the lack thereof. Devs has structure, form and foundation, but ends up relying on poor acting and cliched tropes that underwhelm the entire series. If I were to believe in the many-world interpretation, there may be a world where this series lived up to its expectations.
