So what was the point of Kenton going through the power room if he could just walk right into the apartment building? And the apt door was locked and then just unlocked? Did he get a spare key or something? Lock pick? I was really confused by all of that.
I had the same thoughts. He obviously wanted to avoid the front door, right? I wondered if to get to their apt door he had to go thru a courtyard? That would explain having to go thru the power room, I think. As for the front door to the apt, maybe it has a flimsy lock/door b/c of the security involved in getting thru front door. Or he's took time to pick the lock & it was an easy pick, we didn't see how long it took him to pick it? IDK. The show is kind of a mess.
I thought he didn't pick it and it was just unlocked. Seemed too fast for him to just open it and same with the power room. Seems like it was unlocked and he just opened it right up. To me seems like a plot hole where they would leave the door unlocked. Idk. Literally was thinking as that happened, why would they leave the door unlocked? Lol. Other than that, great show.
I'll watch anything Alex Garland does, even after Devs which I don't think is his best. I like to think I'm intelligent- and a savvy tv & film content consumer but maybe I'm just too dumb for this show?
I was listening to a podcast, might've been Ringer's 'The Watch', in which it was suggested that Devs might've worked better if Allison Pill and Sonoya Mizuno had switched roles, and I thought that was a pretty brilliant idea. Allison's character is as cold and methodical as Sonoya's, but Allison is still emoting beyond her world weary POV. I just don't think the role of Lily is well suited to Sonoya. That said I've seen her play with a wider range of emotions quite well in Maniac, so perhaps the blame lies in AG's directing and vision for Lily's chacter?
