REVIEW: The new Peacock series 'Mrs. Davis' stars Betty Gilpin as a woman trapped in the algorithm.
Mrs. Davis
has a lot of big ideas about religion, technology, and corporate branding, and how easy it is to conflate them all in modern life. And it has a genuinely emotional story at its core, about the traumas of Simone’s childhood, and her complicated relationship with Jay , a short-order diner cook who isn’t quite what he seems. Mostly, though, its heart seems to be in its gags, which are wonderful enough to justify how frequently the comedic tail seems to be wagging the thematic dog.
There are even multiple jokes at the expense of Lindelof’s TV ouevre, including one about hatches, as well as a scene where someone warns Simone and Wiley that they will probably regret seeking answers to the show’s many mysteries. For what it’s worth, the series tries explaining everything, with mixed results — often because it’s more focused on punchlines than clarity.
Simone, we learn, was raised by magicians, and was giddy to be part of her parents’ act. As an adult, she has extremely mixed feelings about the family business, but she still knows all the tricks of the trade, including how to get out of a pair of handcuffs at a moment’s notice.
