Just finished Deus after going in blind.
The whole thing felt like a Dr Who episode, just with tons of extra padding.
The plot was quite sloppy, and the effects had a "made for TV" feeling to them. The acting was pretty meh throughout, with some strange choices being made at times (when the main character learns a major plot twist their response is pretty emotionless).
They had access to a pretty good cast, but even that was wasted.
Some of the twists throughout were kind of dumb, and the rest were painfully obvious. Many of the plot points were needless and didnt add anything to the story at all.
I'm a sucker for sci-fi but this just felt very underdeveloped, like it was a second draft that they greenlit without any rework.
This could easily have been shrunk down to a 30 minute tv episode (with commercials) and still provided all the same info.
Not really worth the time unfortunately.
