The Week I Review | Devs is an odd but appropriate companion to Ex Machina and Annihilation | Review @TheWeekIReview | Uploaded April 2020 | Updated October 2024, 20 hours ago.
Entry 85: Alex Garland is a fascinating filmmaker, and I was very curious to see what he would do with the time afforded him by a full limited series. And Devs really does successfully translate his style to the smaller screen; I don't mention it, but even the audiovisual experience of it just feels like an extension of Ex Machina and Annihilation (especially Annihilation, and especially the score). He has proven to have a very specific style, and it's definitely one I vibe with.

Note: I would call this video spoiler-lite until about 15 minutes in, where I talk about the finale in a sort of vague depth.
