April 4, 2020 – Devs, Season 1 (2020) Hulu
I took a break from movies to watch this great new show. Nick Offerman stars as the Elon Musk/Mark Zuckerberg figure at the head of a big tech company working on a mysterious new project. Part mystery, part philosophical inquiry, part five-minutes-in-the-future science fiction, this show is unpredictable and strikingly beautiful. Though it moves at a contemplative pace, it has held my attention for every single moment. It is not as weird or as challenging to watch as Twin Peaks, but the haunting shots of the wind blowing through the trees recall this 1990s favorite. Devs is better than many of the movies we have watched in this film festival.
