Devs - One Second Projection Scene

Devs episode 7

[romilrh]

This scene is absolutely horrifying in a way no other show or movie has ever captured

[changingyoutubeusernameisn]

This show is a unique flavor of existential dread.

[Mr.Existence]

I wish I can erase my memories of this show so I can experience it all over again, ad nauseam, infinitum.

[xackk]

This show is a gift. I have spent countless hours on this show, and I'm still fascinated.

[MrHEC]

You know what else I loved about this show?


It's only 1 season. Just 1 season of a "what if" sci-fi concept that hasn't been done before.

[avedic]

The way this was written, shot, and acted....is brilliant.
It's such a simple concept....but it clearly took a lot of thought to make it work on screen.

What a brilliant little show. Definitely had me aching for a second season. Left me wanting more big time...

[atsilleps]

This scene is horrifying because it makes you question your own reality. In a world where you can make accurate simulation on this level, and they themselves contain a simulation, which carries to infinity...you make the realisation it’s infinitely more likely your own world is a simulation.

I was very surprised the ending with the bright light wasn’t the world ending, like this simulation shown being shut off.

[psykoj]

I love that Stewart doesn't make any big movements. He knows how uncomfortable it is!
I also think the he might have seen this moment before as he looks at the guy telling him to stop it before he stops it.

[king_trayax]

Glad to see I wasn’t the only one who got the shit scared out of them from this scene. Terrifying stuff

[jmal]

This scene is like that "You're looking at Now" scene from _Spaceballs_ but darker and gives you a feeling of existential dread instead of fourth-wall comedy.

[annavictoria]

This series was so underrated. I loved every ep of this.

[dame_nz]

I wish this were a 10min scene where they left the projection going until they were all rocking on the ground in fetal position with crippling anxiety.

[claushellsing]

When you realize you're an NPC not the main Character

[Bob_Saccamano]

From reading the comments, it feels like a lot of people missed the entire point of this scene, thus the entire concept of the show. It's not about simulations, it's about determinism v. free will

[Fleischkopf]

that was one of the most disturbing scenes without violence ive ever seen. great job, alex and theam of devs!

[Bowie]

If you understand this scene, you are horrified by this scene. It is outrageously disturbing!

[Seftdelmer]

In my opinion this was the best scene of an excellent series and yes it was horrifying once you understood the ramifications.

[hortlockthelivingdead]

Finally ! concept of determinism and paradox of free will is a raw material for a sci fi. It's about the time. Thanks Garland. Strangely this reminds me alien mimicking natalie Portman in Annihilation If you guys haven't see you should definitely

[geraltofrivia]

- It doesn't contain us.
- ... One second projection.
