Seemed promising, but ultimately I felt it was mostly kind of weird and overly sure of its own brilliance or something, so I wouldn’t really recommend it, personally
What it’s related to is partly sort-of a spoiler, so I’ll put it in a “spoiler block” below:
Devs is related to quantum computing, the simulation hypothesis, and free will/determinism
Also, for what it’s worth, I watched all of The Good Place and found it enjoyable, but below-average for comedies I watch (for my tastes) and not particularly thought-provoking.
A few additional EA-relevant Documentaries, movies, and TV shows:
Ex Machina
Movie
Related to AI safety
I’d recommend it as a good film
I also think it nicely portrayed an element of AI safety that non-EAs often get wrong, but I think explaining what I mean might be a spoiler
I don’t expect EAs to really learn much from it
Devs
TV series
By the person who made Ex Machina

In response to my call for recommendations of resources related to nuclear war, WMDs, and/or great power war, Pablo Stafforini said “the multi-part CNN documentary, Cold War, is excellent. So is The Day after Trinity.”

Thanks for sharing those! I might try to watch Ex Machina.
