The new series "Mrs. Davis" from Damon Lindelof, creator of "Lost" and "Watchmen," is a fun and zany story about a nun named Sister Simone, played by Betty Gilpin, who is recruited to find the Holy Grail to shut down an artificial-intelligence algorithm that has conquered humanity. The show is filled with secret societies, magicians, and a quest to save the world, but the constant quippy dialogue undercuts any sense of real emotional or physical stakes. Despite this, Gilpin's magnetic presence and the show's loving satire of Lindelof's own work make it an enjoyable watch.

"Mrs. Davis," the new Peacock series by Damon Lindelof and Tara Hernandez, is a weird, funny, and deeply strange story that follows nun Simone's spiritual quest to find the Holy Grail in a world controlled by an all-powerful algorithm called Mrs. Davis. The show's sweeping plot is held together by the grounded and comedic central performances of Betty Gilpin, Jake McDorman, and Andy McQueen. While often absurdly funny, the show is also unapologetically spiritual and explores what we believe and why, and how it helps and harms us.

Betty Gilpin shines as the lead, effectively juggling a hard-edged cynicism with an openness to pure devotion. While the show doesn't delve into serious philosophical exploration, it's a fun and entertaining watch.
