God's mind. A place where humans only appear to have free will but in fact do not. A place where every human action is predetermined as if we are on "tram tracks".

From the FX miniseries Devs written by Alex Garland, "Devs" is an alternate spelling of "Deus" using the Latin "v" as "u", meaning God.
I'm telling you man, this place is Devs! Free will is only an illusion.

At first I thought everything was a coincidence or a result of random probability, but now I'm starting to think we're living in Devs.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
