ChatGPT might very well take my job one day. Which is why it was probably a bad idea to give it a job interviewing the creators and star of Peacock’s offbeat limited series “Mrs. Davis.” But the gimmick was too good to pass up: “Mrs. Davis,” created by Tara Hernandez and Damon Lindelof, stars Betty Gilpin as Sister Simone, a nun who takes on an algorithm that has infiltrated most of the world with the promise of solving humanity’s problems.
So, I figured, why not have an AI grill Hernandez, Lindelof and Gilpin about their show. The three of them immediately got it when we talked over Zoom in late April. We’re all victims of the algorithm and fascinated by the hold it now has on our lives and our jobs.

[This story contains major spoilers to the finale of Mrs. Davis.]
Mrs. Davis made a promise from the beginning that Simone, the heroic nun at the center of the genre-jumping story played by Betty Gilpin, would destroy the titular algorithm of the series. And after eight wild episodes, the show delivered on that promise.
The finale of the Peacock series from co-creators Tara Hernandez and Damon Lindelof is titled “The Final Intercut: So I’m Your Horse,” a name that was given by the algorithm created in the writers room to generate episode titles. (In their own quest to tackle the looming conversation around AI, the writers confronted the technology first-hand by developing their own algorithm, feeding it scripts and outlines, and then asking it to name the eight episodes.) Finale director Owen Harris thinks the title is genius. “It’s disconnection with the story is what that title is about,” he tells The Hollywood Reporter. “It says pretty much everything...

"Mrs. Davis" is built on a wild premise that somehow manages to only get crazier as the show goes on. The series tells the story of a nun named Simone (Betty Gilpin) determined to destroy an all-powerful artificial intelligence - and along the way, she finds herself tasked with finding and destroying the Holy Grail itself. From the get-go, the show promises a fantastic and chaotic ride, but even the most imaginative viewer (or advanced AI) probably couldn't have dreamed up what actually happens in the show's eighth and final episode.
Over the course of the show, Simone has been trying to find the Holy Grail because Mrs. Davis, the artificial intelligence in question, told her to. In exchange for the Grail, Mrs. Davis promises to grant Simone one wish. Simone has a vendetta against Mrs. Davis because she believes the algorithm killed her father, a magician, so she becomes...

To what would you give yourself over?
When Tara Hernandez was fed up with “a lot of crap dates,” she handed the reigns of her love life to an unspecified dating app — happily “surrendering” herself to “these unseen numbers.”
“And I got something great. It worked out. I met my husband,” she said. “It’s not always successful, but I feel like that is a moment where we sort of recreate fate, essentially. A moment that could happen in a bar, we put that into data and numbers and code, and let it provide for us.”
There are millions of stories like this one, where partners find each other via a virtual assistant, resulting in incalculable happy memories. “These sort of moments, typically, you throw to the universe or friends,” Hernandez said. “[But] we now can throw to technology and say, ‘Find me my soulmate.’ And I really felt like I did.

“Mrs. Davis” will compete for Emmys love in the Limited Series category, but that doesn’t mean the show won’t see a second season.
A source close to the production told TheWrap that creators Damon Lindelof and Tara Hernandez always intended for Season 1 of the genre-bending series to have a “conclusive and satisfying ending” with the finale episode airing Thursday, May 18. The source added that while discussions on a potential second installment have not started, nothing is off the table.

“Mrs. Davis” may be one of the most surprising and unconventional new series of the spring — and now it’s making a surprising and unconventional move in the Emmy race as well. As the Television Academy deadline for category submissions ends today, Peacock has decided to make a last-minute shift and move the series into the limited/anthology series categories.
Betty Gilpin stars in “Mrs. Davis” as Simone, a sometimes nun who takes on her nemesis, the artificial intelligence being known only as “Mrs. Davis,” and strikes a deal with the algorithm — which promises to shut down if Simone finds and destroys the holy grail. This exploration of faith and technology comes from executive producers Tara Hernandez (“The Big Bang Theory”) and Damon Lindelof (“The Leftovers”).

To hear Jake McDorman describe his first time reading a scene from “Mrs. Davis” is akin to watching the show itself. “You’re like, ‘I think it’s funny. I think it can be funny. Or maybe I’m completely misinterpreting this and it’s a drama. I don’t know,” McDorman tells Gold Derby in an exclusive video interview.
But as McDorman and viewers have found out, the new Peacock drama “Mrs. Davis” is all of that and more: it’s a serious drama with room for slapstick comedy, barbed banter, and swooning romance that’s also about technology and religion and the very nature of humanity. Star Betty Gilpin has called the show “No Country for Looney Tunes,” and the references to Joel and Ethan Coen and Bugs Bunny are no better exemplified than with McDorman’s character, Wiley.

This post contains spoilers for "Mrs. Davis," season 1, episode 5.
It took a few episodes for Peacock's "Mrs. Davis" to loop back around to where it started, but now we're back on the island with Dr. Arthur Schrödinger, and we finally know how his story connects to the quest for the holy grail.
A lot has happened since the "Mrs. Davis" series premiere, when our nun protagonist Simone (Betty Gilpin) came riding in on a horse to thwart the elaborate grifts of Reno magicians. Though he shares the name of a physicist famous for his thought experiment involving a cat, you could be forgiven for almost forgetting Schrödinger. However, for fans of "The Thin Red Line" and other assorted things, the face of Ben Chaplin, the actor playing Schrödinger, may look familiar, even if it's hidden behind a scraggly castaway beard much of the time.

Peacock’s “Mrs. Davis” is a juicy blend of absurd humor, technological malaise, cheeky action/adventure, and magician con artists. Not to mention a medieval quest in the age of smartphones and a bold stance on the viability of falafel with pineapple in it. At its simplest, the show is perhaps a parable about how mankind creates God, and so God becomes obsessed with why a nun in Reno won’t talk to her and sends her on a quest to find the Holy Grail. Really.
As much as the success of the “Mrs. Davis” tone rests on creators Damon Lindelof and Tara Hernandez and the writing team and directors, it is equally on the cast members to bring that manic, incredibly Reno energy to life. So Lindelof and Hernandez turned to casting director Victoria Thomas to structure an audition process that could find actors able to handle the show’s many layers simultaneously.

At the end of the fourth episode of Mrs. Davis, Betty Gilpin‘s Simone is perhaps speaking collectively for the audience when she screams, “What the fuck?!”
Technically, the Peacock series cuts to black before she gets out the last part. But the actress who plays the hero in Tara Hernandez and Damon Lindelof’s genre-jumping AI series confirmed the line to The Hollywood Reporter. “Ok, let me think about where we are at the end of episode four,” she says, before attempting to answer what her character was thinking in that exact moment. “They are starting to put the pieces together.”
It’s no surprise that Gilpin would need a minute to pinpoint where exactly Simone is in her Mrs. Davis journey when that scene arrives. Doing an interview about the show is basically an exercise in spoiler culture (“It’s almost impossible!” she says), because giving away anything...

Spoiler Alert! This post contains details from the first four episodes of Peacock’s Mrs. Davis.
In Mrs. Davis, Betty Gilpin is a nun on a mission to destroy an all-knowing artificial intelligence that has become a mainstay in society. In order to do so, she must first go on a mission to find the Holy Grail.
Yes, that Holy Grail. The one that Jesus Christ drank from at The Last Supper. The one that may or may not even truly exist.
The show has been billed as a “versus” show, pitting faith and tech against each other. But in reality, it’s more complicated than that, co-creator Damon Lindelof told Deadline.
“There’s always been a push-pull between faith and science. And now it’s become much more directed in terms of belief and tech,” he said. “The more nuanced reality of it is, neither of those things are going anywhere.

But no one can fully be prepared for the experience of watching a nun combating an all-powerful artificial intelligence with a storytelling tone that star Betty Gilpin describes as “No Country for Old Looney Tunes.”
So now here we are. You’ve clicked on this headline wondering if you really understood that massive twist in Mrs. Davis‘s second episode. Let us assure you that yes, you absolutely did. The character known as Jay (Andy McQueen) is none other than The King of Kings, The Holy One of Israel, The Lion and The Lamb, The Only Begotten Son, The Messiah. Literally Jesus Christ of Nazareth is a character on this television program.

"Mrs. Davis" leaped onto the TV scene like a fighting nun this week, debuting with a multi-episode premiere on Peacock that introduced viewers to a quirky, algorithm-run new world. The series by "Watchmen" creator Damon Lindelof and "Young Sheldon" writer Tara Hernandez is a total trip. It's a spiritual adventure series led by a nun named Simone (Betty Gilpin), her cowboy-ish companion Wiley (Jake McDorman), and her almost all-knowing confidante Jay (Andy McQueen).
But when it's not focused on Christian mysticism, "Mrs. Davis" is also a sci-fi series, one with a lofty plot that's grounded by an all-too-believable premise. The first episode of the show introduces the titular tech, a powerful algorithm that's able to mobilize global users in an instant to do things like make a sham shave ice stand or stage a kidnapping.

Starring Betty Gilpin and from Tara Hernandez and Damon Lindelof, this off-the-wall thriller will be one of the most talked-about shows this spring.

This post contains spoilers for the first three episodes of "Mrs. Davis."
There's something so enticing about the world of "Mrs. Davis," the new Peacock series that follows a snarky and adventurous nun named Simone in her attempt to cap a world-controlling AI platform at its metaphorical knees. There's almost a surrealist element to the sci-fi nature of the series, and its entanglement with religion — Christianity in particular — serves to elevate that tone, even questioning the reality of the show as a whole.
In fact, Simone's dedication to God is a key factor in the show's major reveal, which comes at the end of episode 2. In case you need a refresher, Simone tells Wiley (Jake McDorman) — her childhood best friend-turned-cowboy with whom she has become entangled again on her quest — that the first time she prayed was when he got on the bull for the first time. She asked Jesus...

Created by Damon Lindelof and Tara Hernandez, the Peacock series Mrs. Davis is set in a world where an all-knowing artificial intelligence has essentially created world peace. Known by a variety of names around the world, including Mrs. Davis, this A.I. encourages its followers to do tasks for it in order to gain virtual reality “wings.” But not everyone believes that this A.I. is the benevolent savior of humanity it appears to be. A nun named Simone and a secret organization that involves her ex-boyfriend and his best friend become involved in a quest to get rid of Mrs. Davis for good. All they have to do is track down the mythical Holy Grail.
As with most Damon Lindelof series, there’s a lot going on with the characters of Mrs. Davis. While diving too deep into these characters gets into spoiler territory, here’s what we can...

After serving as a writer on The Big Bang Theory and its spinoff Young Sheldon, Tara Hernandez makes her debut as showrunner with Mrs. Davis, which premieres the first four episodes Thursday on Peacock.
The absurdist comedy follows Betty Gilpin’s hero nun Simone on a quest to find the Holy Grail in the hopes of destroying the all-knowing algorithm — known as Mrs. Davis — currently controlling everyone’s lives. For Hernandez, who co-created the series with Damon Lindelof (Watchmen, The Leftovers), getting a rare shot at running her own show also meant incorporating some of her passions, including a love...

Plot: “Mrs. Davis” is the world’s most powerful Artificial Intelligence. Simone is the nun devoted to destroying Her. Who ya got?
Review: It takes a lot to catch me off guard. I have seen countless movies and television series over the years that have been billed as shocking or revolutionary, game-changing, and even unlike anything that has ever been seen before. Few of these have actually delivered on the hyperbole used to market them, but every now and then, I am truly surprised by the originality that is still possible. Mrs. Davis is one of those series that truly earns the distinction of being unlike anything else ever made. With the distinctive creative talents of Tara Hernandez and Damon Lindelof behind the scenes, Mrs. Davis echoes the satirical brilliance of Terry Gilliam’s Brazil with a modern technological flair for a hilarious, action-packed story and thought-provoking series about faith,...

The Holy Grail, a character in “Mrs. Davis” observes, might be the “most overused MacGuffin ever.” From “Monty Python” to “Indiana Jones,” the mythical chalice is an easy shorthand for a magical object that motivates heroes and antagonists alike. Sister Simone (Betty Gilpin), a nun who spends her days mak- ing strawberry jam at an abbey outside Reno, is the latest protag- onist to set her sights on the Grail. She’s been assigned this quest by an artificial intelligence known as Mrs. Davis, which marries the menace of Skynet with the affable mien of Alexa. For reasons both principled and personal, Simone despises Mrs. Davis, but she’s been extended an offer she can’t refuse: If she finds the Grail and destroys it, Mrs. Davis will destroy herself. As the same supporting player notes: “Algorithms love clichés, and there’s no cliché bigger than the quest for the Holy Grail.

Perhaps it’s a blessing (very much in disguise) that the spoiler discourse is once again raging (thanks “Succession”!), since it’s difficult to imagine a show better suited to run roughshod over entrenched positions on dispensing plot details than “Mrs. Davis.” Are you of the opinion that nothing remarkable or surprising about a yet-to-be-seen television show should be shared in public forums like the internet? Well, then good luck telling your friends about Tara Hernandez and Damon Lindelof’s borderline indescribable creation — a new series any artificial intelligence skeptic or general fan of savvy storytelling should embrace with glee. “Great,” thinks the galaxy-brained spoiler subversive. “Lean into the knowledge. Tell me everything about it.” Ok! …um, except so much of what makes “Mrs. Davis” a riotous good time are the many, many unexpected twists and turns, whether it’s a pivotal revelation that changes our hero’s journey or...

"Mrs. Davis," the new Peacock series by Damon Lindelof ("Lost") and Tara Hernandez ("The Big Bang Theory"), starts off like the kind of dream you couldn't explain even if you tried. First, there's an order of nuns in the year 1307, locked in a bloody battle with men on the hunt for the Holy Grail. Then, a man on a desert island is rescued, only to be told a rather maternal-sounding algorithm has taken over the world. Next, another weird and bloody scene plays out on the Nevada freeway, only to be interrupted by Simone (Betty Gilpin), a modern-day nun with a penchant for magic tricks. All of this unfolds in the first few minutes of the pilot episode — before we even know who our protagonist is.
The show eventually finds its own absurd inner logic, but its sweeping, funny, deeply strange story never quite shakes the quality of a vivid and endless dream.

The new Peacock series “Mrs. Davis” boasts some unusual sights and sounds: a nun on a motorbike, earpieces feeding communication from a worldwide AI into the mouths of willing human supplicants, a gruesome childhood accident, a horse wired with C4 — and that’s just in the first few of its eight episodes.
But the strangest thing about this ambitious program is how its voice feels like it’s replicating a source material that doesn’t exist. “Mrs. Davis” creates the pervasive feeling that it’s based on a beloved cult comic book; specifically, its particular recipe of big-swing speculative ideas, loopy world-building, and irreverent characters brings to mind non-superhero comics series like “Preacher,” “Y the Last Man,” or “Paper Girls.” But “Mrs. Davis” has no previous incarnation; it’s the original creation of Tara Hernandez (“The Big Bang Theory” and “Young Sheldon”) and “Lost,” “Watchmen” and “The Leftovers” mastermind Damon Lindelof.

Midway through the second episode of the new Peacock series Mrs. Davis, vengeful nun Simone asks her rodeo cowboy ex Wiley to help her make sense of the events of the show up to that point. “Don’t underestimate how stupid this gets, sweetheart,” he warns her.

What can I tell you about Mrs. Davis? I can tell you it’s about a nun, Simone (Betty Gilpin), and her rodeo cowboy ex, Wiley (Jake McDorman). I can tell you that the series pits them against a seemingly all-powerful algorithm that might vaguely be described as Siri meets ChatGPT, on steroids. I can tell you this battle somehow involves an angry whale, the Holy Grail and a literal Schrödinger’s cat.
Beyond that, I can’t tell you much, in part because the powers that be at Peacock have sworn critics to secrecy, but also because I fear that explaining the plot might make me sound unhinged. It’s that strange. And while I’m still not totally sure its biggest swings add up in the end, it is, if nothing else, a true original in a TV landscape littered with endlessly rebooted IP — and all the more entertaining for it.

Betty Gilpin turned to her actor dad, Jack Gilpin, for help when she was preparing for her new Peacock series “Mrs. Davis.”
“He introduced me to three nuns,” Betty told me at the show’s premiere Thursday night in Los Angeles.
Papa Gilpin is not only a veteran actor (he currently plays Church the Butler on HBO’s “The Gilded Age“), but he’s also an Episcopalian priest. “He did connect me with nuns to talk to,” Betty said. “They are these incredible feminist warriors in their own right.”
Have the sisters seen the show? “I’d be interested to know what they think about it, but I don’t think they have Peacock,” Betty said, laughing.

As an actor, Betty Gilpin says the gigs that “are painful to do are the ones where you feel like you’re only being asked to do five percent of what you can do” as a performer. Enter Mrs. Davis.
Peacock’s new series casts the Glow alum as a nun named Simone who is intent on destroying the world’s most powerful artificial intelligence, aka Mrs. Davis. It’s not a spoiler to say that the series — created by Lost guru Damon Lindelof with The Big Bang Theory vet Tara Hernandez — was the opposite of painful because it activates all of Gilpin’s talents. It’s a genre-blending mashup (think drama and wacky comedy mixed with sci-fi and action) with a host of themes (best explained here) and Gilpin says she was more than ready.

Betty Gilpin goes up against Mrs. Davis — the most popular algorithm in the world — in the trailer for her new Peacock series.
In the first official footage of the sci-fi comedy from Tara Hernandez and Damon Lindelof, the Glow and The Hunt star makes her introduction as Simone, a nun who is given the lofty task of locating the Holy Grail and ends up taking on the all-powerful artificial intelligence known as “Mrs. Davis,” who put Simone on her lofty quest.
In the trailer (above), a skeptical Simone is told she is the only person on the planet who can fulfill the quest of locating the Holy Grail. Along the way, she decides to take a path of resistance. “Mrs. Davis is all knowing and all powerful. She not only knows you are coming for her, but she wants you to,” Gilpin is warned.

You are not a robot, and a computer is not your boss. “Mrs. Davis” is here to remind you of that. Peacock’s upcoming sci-fi dramedy got an exciting and funny new trailer on Tuesday that will make you want to smash your phone and throw it in a river to free yourself from the tyranny of the algorithm.
“Mrs. Davis” stars Emmy nominee Betty Gilpin (“Glow”) as Sister Simone, a nun whose calling is to fight for humanity against the titular Mrs. Davis, an all-powerful artificial intelligence with nefarious intentions. It’s all too easy for it to get humans to hand over their free will. Mrs. Davis is it, not her; it’s important to avoid anthropomorphizing a computer program, as characters remind each other in the trailer. “Don’t give it a name,” an angry Australian man tells Simone. “No one calls Facebook ‘Doug.’”

Sci-fi writer Damon Lindelof has made quite the name for himself since he's arrived on the scene, tackling incredibly popular material such as the hit show "Lost", Ridley Scott's "Alien" prequel "Prometheus," and most recently HBO's brilliant sequel series "Watchmen." Should anyone still be on the fence about Lindelof's talents after some high-profile misses like "Cowboys & Aliens," "Star Trek Into Darkness," and 2015's "Tomorrowland," well, I implore you to check out his work on "The Leftovers," which has earned him the benefit of the doubt for the foreseeable future as far as I'm concerned.
The next item on Lindelof's agenda, however, appears both of a piece and miles apart from his previous output. Peacock suddenly seems like the belle of the streaming wars ball, riding high off the success of Rian Johnson's "Poker Face" series. Now, the streaming service is partnering up with Lindelof on its most out-there premise yet.

Thankfully, a full trailer for Mrs. Davis has now arrived online, and this one actually gives us an idea of the what the show’s tone, characters, and story are going to be like.

Peacock on Tuesday released the full trailer for Mrs. Davis, the new drama series from Tara Hernandez and Damon Lindelof.
