Mrs. Davis is partially satisfying my longing for the cancelled show Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, although I would have given the latter a higher rating. It shares the absurd quest format, exaggerated personalities, and crisscrossing storylines within an overarching and unfolding mystery. It's not quite as witty and the characters aren't as engaging. It's also unclear at this point whether it will all be tied together in a satisfying way but so far I'm intrigued. As others have stated, there are a lot of loose ends with more appearing in every episode and it's a bit difficult to figure out what is truly relevant to the plot vs. What is added just for the sake of being whacky. If they can tie most of it together and incorporate some deeper hero's journey allegory and symbolism, I may end up loving this show, but if it just keeps taking random twists and turns while providing few real answers or insights, I may lose interest.
