Five years later, has sci-fi cult hit Devs aged well?

March 2020 was an inauspicious time, I think we can agree. This may be why Devs, an eight-part sci-fi series by Alex Garland that debuted as the world went into lockdown, didn't attract as large an audience as it could have – we certainly had other things to worry about. I was, I confess, one of the many people who missed it. There are lots of reasons why I have recently rectified that: Garland was on my mind after watching 28 Years Later, for which he wrote the screenplay, and the cold, dark world of Devs was also the perfect antidote to the heatwave this column was written under. But the main reason is that five strange years have passed since the show aired, and I was intrigued to see how it looked, at half a decade's remove.
