"Mrs. Davis" on Peacock

[Ryujin]

This show has a definite "Dirk Gently" vibe, for me. It's set in what the RPG TORG would refer to as the "Near Now." The difference is that there's an AI app that everyone uses, that can answer any question, and that co-opts people for The Greater Good.

That is very strange...
Looks interesting.

Betty Gilpin is the best. It feels a bit like trolling to put her in a nun's habit: "OK, pervs, focus on her acting for once!"

This looks great, but I'm content to wait until Peacock dies and this show appears on the surviving streamers.

I love love love Damon Lindelof, but I just can't imagine bothering with Peacock for this. So I unfortunately agree.

I'm fortunate in that, in Canada, it's on our SyFy Channel equivalent.

Will check it out. Did wonder what the wife had been up to!

I'm guessing that being a pervasive and all-knowing AI wasn't her primary employment?

Well, she thinks she knows everything, so maybe!

This is not quite set "five minutes into the future."

Pretty close. It's our world, just with one mega AI app.
