LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Peacock has been on quite a run lately, delivering great series and content. With series like 'Poker Face' coming up, the level of expectations are high and Peacock did not disappoint. The newest addition to the content line is 'Mrs Davis', which centers on the plot of religion, AI and a badass nun. 'Mrs Davis' episode one totally did a great job delivering great content, while also laying the groundwork for some of the greatest ideas and content mashed into one. It is totally wild, sarcastic, and will definitely become one of your favorite things to watch.

'Mrs. Davis' episode 1 starts out with a scene from 1307 France and returns back to the present with an idea of AI and its global impact on the world. The show takes religion and AI and makes it run against each other, looking out for who wins first. The idea is simple, yet thought provoking that AI, what was once a saviour has now become an enemy.

Knights protecting the holy grail

'Mrs Davis' holds on to your attention and never lets go. The pilot episode of the show starts with some kickass nuns trying to protect the holy grail. They have swords, passion and the ambition to serve the lord. The first scene is set in 1307 France, where witch practices still take place and people are still motivated with external happiness. The important artifact or "holy grail" in Christianity is said to be the cup Jesus drank from during the Last Supper. But even though you might come up with questions about it, yes, it is important enough die for. There are plenty of beheading scenes, which come out as more 'Scary Movie' themed than 'Game of Thrones'. 

AI ruin lives

The important lesson that comes from the first episode is how AI has been ruling our lives, how it has created an impact on us while slowly destroying our lives. 'Mrs Davis' has clearly took the least favourite topic of discussion and created into a comedy trail of dark jokes that makes us realize how deep we are stuck into the world of technology, and while it changes our lives for the better, it also changes our lives for the worst. More of 'Mrs Davis' will be talked about in the upcoming episodes and we'll get to learn what her motives are and why Simone isn't talking to her. 

'Mrs Davis' is available to watch exclusively on Peacock.
