Season 1 Review:
There are impressive performances all around, but Gilpin’s is something beyond that; she’s utterly natural and present in every moment of a role that asks much of her. ... “Mrs. Davis” is complicated, but neatly organized. And the emotional arc is always intelligible, and very, very satisfying.

Season 1 Review:
Mrs. Davis, an exhilaratingly weird new Peacock series from Tara Hernandez (The Big Bang Theory) and Damon Lindelof (The Leftovers), dares you to doubt it. It dances over the line of acceptable foolishness; a few times in the early episodes, it nearly loses you only so it can win you back. What makes it work is its total commitment, which starts with its lead.

Season 1 Review:
Veterans of Lindelof shows may appreciate the opportunity to tease out meaning from a more abbreviated episode list. The rest of us can enjoy a more surface-level read of the series and its characters. ... “Mrs. Davis” is a show about telling comforting lies and how the impact of those lies can often be long-lasting. Whether the surrounding humor adds or subtracts from the power of that message is a journey every viewer must take for themselves.

Season 1 Review:
Mrs. Davis, refreshingly, isn't operating on the same level as any other show out there. In fact, it's playing in a league all its own. The only potential drawback to that is whether audiences will be able to meet it where it is, because, for better or for worse, it's a series that doesn't readily offer up answers for anything, at least not right away.

Season 1 Review:
Mrs. Davis is big, bold, and loud in both its ideas and its execution, with some pretty stunning set-pieces across its eight-episode run. While there’s a fair bit of chaos in the mix, and maybe a sense that the show could have edited out one or two elements for greater cohesion, there’s a lot of joy to be found in the mess.

Season 1 Review:
While it’s impressive that Mrs. Davis stays as consistently surprising as it does, it’s hard to know precisely what to make of it by the season’s end — or if even the creators know what they meant to say with it. On the other hand, those willing to embrace the ride for what it is are in for a singular experience.

Season 1 Review:
Watching its seemingly mismatched pieces strain to fit together is more appealing in many ways than watching other current series go about their business in more coherent and consistent fashion. ... There is something that feels right and on-topic for this one to be so sprawling and messy and unsure of itself. ... It manages to hit you in the feelings.
