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. A thousand years from now, there’s still going to be religion, and there’s still going to be technology. We don’t know what religion is going to look like. We don’t necessarily know what technology is going to look like. But it’s not like one of them is going to devour the other. So the more interesting idea becomes, what does it look like when the two come together or the two are in conflict?”
Lindelof and co-creator Tara Hernandez — as well as series stars Gilpin, Jake McDorman, and Andy McQueen — spoke with Deadline about the first four episodes of Mrs. Davis, which set up a surreal adventure that at times confronts some of the biggest questions that society faces about technology and faith.
On the tone of the show

Paige DeSorbo is aware the audience has mixed feelings about season 7. «I have been doing this for five years, and I have no idea when we're filming how it’s gonna be perceived when it airs,» she admits to ET. «So, it does make me a little sad when viewers are like, 'Oh this season's awful!' I'm like, oh god...»Season 7 features the largest cast in history, with some housemates skipping weekends (and therefore an episode or two), and some appearing to age out of the show's set-up: a place to party and let off steam from hustling in the city. «I still had a great time, and I still think there so many funny moments this season and so many relationships that have taken turns, and ups and downs, and that’s really what the show was about it’s about a group of friends — and in real life, groups of friends have that,» Paige notes.

Damon Lindelof is in the limelight yet again thanks to the success of his most recent TV show, “Mrs. Davis,” on Peacock now.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Damon Lindelof’s exit from the Star Wars universe was not a mutual decision, the writer confirmed in a new Esquire interview. The “Lost” and “The Leftovers” co-creator boarded a new Star Wars movie in 2022 with “Ms. Marvel” director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy attached to direct. Lindelof brought on Justin Britt-Gibson (“Counterpart,” “Into the Badlands”) to co-write the project with him. The duo exited the film in February. “I was in more than talks to join the Star Wars universe,” Lindelof told Esquire. “I joined the Star Wars universe and was asked to leave.” Lindelof and Britt-Gibson were replaced as writers by Steven Knight, best known in recent years as the creator of “Peaky Blinders.” Obaid-Chinoy remained as director amid the screenwriting transition. Lindelof told Variety earlier this month that his script was “a true labor of love.”

In the era of Too Much Television, it can be challenging for any show to break through the noise. Then again, most shows aren’t about a nun caught in a cold war between the Catholic Church and an all-seeing, all-knowing evil algorithm.
