LISTEN: ‘Effect Leads To Cause’: Recapping ‘Devs’ Episodes 1-4 [Podcast]
With the help of sci-fi novelist Tochi Onyebuchi, we examine the mesmerizing, loose-end-tying, head-scratching, quantum-defying final episodes of the FX on Hulu series. In that sense, the eight-part show certainly holds true to form for the director of “Annihilation” and “Ex Machina” and writer of “Sunshine” and “28 Days Later.”
In this episode, we break down the larger plot beats of the show (spoilers abound!), the sneaky Easter eggs (“Deus” + “Ex Machina”), and what the show ultimately believes about a many-worlds theory.
