'Devs,' the new FX on Hulu series from sci-fi master Alex Garland, is a confounding and mesmerizing trip into a scary near-future. Alan Sepinwall's review
The series takes place in some near-future version of Silicon Valley. Young lovers Lily and Sergei both work, in separate divisions, for Forest’s company Amaya, named for his late daughter. Sergei gets promoted to work in Devs, operating out of a building deep in the wooded Amaya campus, and is stunned to learn exactly what’s been built there.
“No, if it’s true, it changes absolutely nothing,” Forest replies in his reassuringly laconic manner. “In a way, that’s the point.”Soon, all hell has broken loose. Lily is on the run from both the authorities and Forest’s ruthless fixer Kenton . Russian spies are brazenly operating on American soil. And Forest? Well… Forest mostly watches television.
The Amaya campus is a visual marvel, starting with its most prominent feature: an unnervingly lifelike statue of its namesake, so tall its head and inquisitive eyes loom over the treetops, visible from miles around. Go a little lower down, and many of the trees have been turned into huge fluorescent lamps that resemble psychedelic mushrooms. The Devs building itself is flanked by gold obelisks that look like if Stanley Kubrick hired Teresa Giudice to do production design on.
