Sad sigh. Here it is. Our final episode of Decoding Devs in which we attempt to wrap it all up. Color theory. The Hero's Journey. Windows. Names. Favorite characters? Favorite montage? And as always a couple of tangents as we say goodbye to this remarkable show. Thank you all for listening! We've had a great time and hope you have too!

After an unexpected but needed pause, WE ARE BACK to break down "Devs" Episode 8, the series finale. We have many thoughts to share on the characters, the music, how it all came together and how we feel about how it all came together. Plus a bonus, off-topic rant! What more could you ask for?! So download your consciousness and join us!

We're in the end game now. Episode 7 of "Devs", the penultimate episode, stressed us out, but what a tour de force. What is up with the opening montage which, even for "Devs", is a stand out. We learn the fates of a few of our characters. We become even bigger fans of Stewart. We learn just how committed our Devs staffers are to their theories. Grab yourself a glass of water with lemon and join us!

We're back to analyze episode 6 of "Devs". This may be a highly expository episode, but that doesn't make it any less compelling. Has a frisbee ever been more thought-provoking? Has a pen ever looked more stabby? Has my Jily (or are we going with "Lamie"?) ship finally set sail? Join us at the dining room table as we ask all the questions.

Episode 5 of "Devs" is...maybe my favorite? Difficult to say because they're all so good, but this one ranks near the top. In it we examine more closely the Many Worlds angle, important moments from our characters' pasts, and how the Devs project developed. Who gets this episode's best monologue? How much more can we talk about color theory? Do bent limbs have a higher meaning? Have I finally reached the point where even Collin thinks I'm crazy? Come on in and find out!

Join us, in this Age of Aquarius, as we delve into episode 3 of "Devs". Wasn't expecting a heist episode on this show, but "Devs" delivers on the unexpected. We dissect another fantastic opening montage, discuss the significance of Joan of Arc to this episode, Lily & her connection to windows, how much we love Jamie (heart hands) and so much more.

Welcome to Decoding Devs, a fan podcast discussing Alex Garland's/FX/Hulu's incredible limited series, "Devs". In this episode we analyze Episode 1 of "Devs", the music, characters, cinematography, direction and basically nerd out on Alex Garland's sublime creation. Yeah, we're wordy and run long, but this show deserves a whole lot of discussion.
