Five years after its initial release, Alex Garland's sci-fi series 'Devs' is revisited by critic Bethan Ackerley. The show, a tech-centric mystery revolving around a secretive company, is praised for its intelligence and compelling narrative. However, Ackerley notes that 'Devs' also exhibits moments of being overly self-indulgent and emotionally detached. The retrospective review explores whether the series' themes and execution have stood the test of time in the intervening years, considering the shifts in technology and cultural perspectives since its debut in 2020.
