Gamedev, cyberpunk and eternal philosophy: 3 weekend mini-series

Ahead is a lot, a lot of days off ... And if you still think what to do, then here's another idea - to watch a cool series. Today we publish the 2020 mini-selection, which will immerse you in the technologically advanced “Oh Brave New World” (well, almost). All series are somehow connected with IT and science - well, how can you do without it!

Devs remains a gloriously handsome watch. A show about people working with computers might sound like a dry proposition, but Garland constantly expands and expands, intercutting the action with stunning, atmospheric shots of San Francisco, reminding us of the wider world outside of the insular universe the characters are inhabiting.

The show is about a bunch of misanthropes working together, with comedy derived from the dark ways their toxic relationships push and pull each other around. You don’t need to know how a studio works to recognize an office hierarchy when you see one, or an egomaniac boss, or a shitty coworker that skates on your hard work.

While the first season had other problems, including a crude obsession with human bodies that never developed beyond voyeurism, Kinnaman's rigid, no-fun lead skewed the self-serious drama toward a profound bore instead of a galaxy-brained lark. The series' ideas are big, playful, and (like so much great sci-fi) topically applicable when following a consistent allegory, but all that potential remained trapped behind a stoic visage.
