Alex Garland's thriller 'Devs' splits our critics. Read our review

-esque dreadfest, Kristen. And the best episodes of that series paint with a complicated emotional palette, suggesting that the problems of modernity keep inventing new ways for humanity to implode.

Here, cauterized grief is pretty much the only note Offerman gets to play. Which, in a strange way, turnsinto propaganda for the technocracy. Forest’s intentions are shrouded in mystery and finale twists. But from the start, it's clear that he reallya thoughtful, horizon-seeking philosopher-king opening the doors of perception in an expensively furnished dark room, so modest and self-flagellating that he still lives in his pre-billionaire house.

I really did enjoy the scenes with Spaeny and Henderson, though. Their odd-couple interaction feels beamed in from a Philip K. Dick-ian dark comedy of cyber-god manners. Were there other performances that stuck out to you?For sure: Grenier just kills it as Kenton . The actor’s sleepy eyes and immutable demeanor reminded me of Jonathan Banks’ Mike Ehrmantraut, though Kenton is almostterrifying because he can actually pretend to be genial.

Another capital-c Choice is Mizuno’s performance as Lily. Her measured, meticulous delivery of every word only gets more and more pronounced as the craziness of the story progresses.
