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.
Damon Lindelof's new sci-fi comedy series, Mrs. Davis, explores the debate over religion versus technology in an alternate version of our present day where an advanced artificial intelligence algorithm known as Mrs. Davis has radically changed humanity. The zany show sprinkles in poignant musings about the nature of faith in our modern world and takes familiar storytelling tropes and puts them through a blender, embracing a wacky sensibility. Mrs. Davis is unlike anything else on television and is another feather in both Lindelof's cap and Peacock's colorful display of original programming.
Peacock's new sci-fi series, Mrs. Davis, created by Tara Hernandez and Damon Lindelof, is described as "tremendously bonkers" and features a nun battling an all-powerful A.I.

The creators want viewers to have a good time and enjoy talking about the show with their friends. The first four episodes premiere on April 20 on Peacock, with new episodes airing weekly until the finale on May 18.

"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. The first four episodes of "Mrs. Davis" premiere exclusively on Peacock on April 20, 2023, followed by new episodes airing weekly on Thursdays.

The show combines absurd, surreal set-pieces with a recognizable symbol to anchor the alternate reality. Gilpin's performance grounds the show, which takes a stand against a soulless, generic world that a total AI takeover would produce. The series puts spectacle over practicality, but its messiness is forgivable and even part of the plan. "Mrs. Davis" will launch with four episodes on Thursday, April 20, with new episodes dropping weekly on Thursdays.

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.
