Black Mirror Meets Mr. Robot In FX's Cerebral Sci-Fi Thriller Series

FX's new sci-fi thriller series, Cerebral Devs, delivers a rapid-fire blend of Black Mirror and Mr. Robot that will captivate viewers. Starring Sonoya Mizuno, Nick Offerman, Jin Ha, Zach Grenier, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Cailee Spaeny, and Alison Pill, the show follows tech worker Lily Chan as she uncovers a secretive quantum computing project at her employer, Amaya.

Led by Offerman's distinctive performance as Amaya's CEO, Devs impresses with its cinematography, sound design, and visual effects, earning critical acclaim from outlets like The Wall Street Journal and The Independent.

Written and directed by Alex Garland, known for his work on 28 Days Later, Ex Machina, and Annihilation, the eight-episode miniseries poses thought-provoking questions about humanity's relationship with technology. Garland asserts that Devs demands active viewer participation, creating a rewarding experience for fans of Black Mirror and Mr. Robot.
