And Now for Something Completely Different: Commentary on "Mrs. Davis"
This is atypical of the writing I do here but, if I may be permitted a religious analogy, I feel compelled to be an evangelist and spread the "good news" that is Peacock 's original, eight-episode limited series from the minds of Tara Hernandez and David Lindelof, "Mrs. Davis", and I shall endeavor to make the case for watching it without spoilers. Here goes. The plot centers on Sister Simone (played by Betty Gilpin), a nun living in a convent outside Reno, Nevada, whose literal middle name is "Danger". Simone, for valid reasons, detests Mrs. Davis, the AI that seemingly everyone is obsessed with, and will do whatever it takes to bring It down. She is joined in this mission by her ex-boyfriend and "cowboy", Preston "Wiley" Wiley (played by Jake McDorman), who has a sense of urgency and his own reasons for wanting Mrs. Davis to shut down. Together, they travel the world in an effort to bring about Her destruction, supported by Wiley&
