Devs
What is Devs? (And why is there a giant doll looming over the forest?) We arent the only ones asking questions. The heroine of this FX show, a a young software engineer named Lily Chan (Sonoya Mizuno), searches for the answer after her boyfriend disappears and she develops a suspicion that Devs has something to do with it. The clip then quickly spirals into an exploration of free will. This is the only principle you need to understand, says a voiceover, nothing ever happens without a reason. Everything was determined by something prior. Nick Offermans character is more fatal: The sense that you were participating in life was only ever an illusion. Life is just something we watch unfold.
