Sci-fi/dramedy series debuts April 20 on Peacock
With a title like "Mrs. Davis" and that picture above, you've probably deduced what Peacock's upcoming show is about. Say it with us now: "Artificial intelligence." Co-created by Damon Lindelof (Watchmen, The Leftovers, Lost) and The Big Bang Theory writer Tara Hernandez, Mrs. Davis stars GLOW's Betty Gilpin as a nun on a mission to take down the titular Mrs. Davis, who is not a person but the world's most pervasive and powerful algorithm. Jake McDorman, Margo Martindale, Chris Diamantopoulos, Ben Chaplin, Andy McQueen, Katja Herbers, and David Arquette also star, while directors include Black Mirror veteran Owen Harris. The opening episodes recently screened at SXSW, where critics seemed to like (or at least be open to viewing more of) what they described as an absolutely wild, funny, and "maddening" sci-fi series that manages to blend a variety of influences ranging from comics to Kurt Vonnegut to Monty Python to the Lonely Island.
