A thread for Devs, the new Alex Garland show on FX/HBO (with SPOILERS)

Yeah me too! that professional camera angle on Jesus was the first thing i properly scoffed at, I think later they mentioned something about positioning at particle or something, but pfft

I know a show is ultimately good when the marks against it include the most absurd nitpicking imaginable

Yeah, lazy writing. None of the characters fleshed out much beyond bare plot function.

I'm also nitpicking at fundamental stuff! The characters and plot were rubbish.

> the music from the show

the two minutes of Reich's Come Out was a highlight

but then i was always going to say that 8)

Thought this was good. Surprised people didn’t like Sonoya Mizuno‘s performance

Also highly offended by the idea that mr robot is a better version of this lol

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that this show's 2020 season is nominated in the 2020 ILX TV poll:

ILX's Best Television of 2020 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends After January 29, 2021

If you like this show and you'd like to see it have a good showing in the poll (running in February) all you need to do is submit a ballot including it and your other favorites (3 minimum, 25 maximum, ranked by your favorite to least favorite) to forksclovetofu at gmail. It'll take five minutes; get to it!

Did anyone else find Lily extremely unlikeable?

How did they pump air into defs? No cleaners, so was there a rota for cleaning the toilets there?
