Mrs. Davis

First episode had me like - what the actual f...?! Second one was also like - what the heck am I watching?! 🤣 But as I continued, it got my interest.

Was it crazy? Yes.

Was it funny? Yes.

Was it emotional? Yes.

Was it educational? Also, yes.

It was refreshing.

It all seemed a bit bananas, but, soooomehow, it worked. It all came together in the end. It had so many layers. A lot of things are not how they are presented.

Acting was great. Try to watch it with an open mind!

Message of this show is actually very important. Like, get off your socials from time to time.

Betty Gilpin was great! I loved her in Glow too.

The show was great! I like the narrative and the way it was done was great. You think one thing is happening and then later it's completely different or it's taking you on a crazy path showing how things happened or how they got to a certain point. It also has a lot of oh crap! Moments where you think to yourself "I didn't see that coming!" or "How did I not see that coming!" Lol! Overall, a great show, great writing and acting from everyone, it does have some far fetch moments but they're overlooked because the show is so great. Hopefully there's a season 2 or if anything a spin-off for more adventures.

I agree w both of the (only 2) other reviewers here. There could be a fantastic story, but it is so wide-open, something that really hasn't been done before & it's truly COMPLETELY impossible to know where they are going w this.

It's impossible to know who are the good guy(s) (girls/woman/women/machines) and/or who are the bad guy(s) here & that's really refreshing.

One thing is certain - you are not going to predict anything from the first cpl episodes.

By the middle of the 3rd there are still questions as to who is who, what they are trying to do & whether or not anyone is who they say they are. Very VERY interesting & I feel that it deserves the 7/10 if it for no other reason because of the acting. Betty Gilpin is (as usual) FANTASTIC & absolutely perfect for this role.

I'm curious to see what kind of written reviews there will be after everyone has had time to see the first few episodes.

I say go for it, let's see how the chips fall - if nothing else, it's definitely different.

I had no idea what to expect from Mrs. Davis. I originally wasn't going to watch it but after reading so many great things about it I gave it a chance. I'm so glad I did because I really liked it. It's far from the best show I've ever seen but it's still good enough to watch. I was so into it I actually binged all 8 episodes over the course of weekend but it was worth it. Like everyone else has already pointed out...there's never been a show even close to this, it's crazy but in a good way. This is a limited series so this is the only season but that's prob a good thing because too much of this and it would get old. It had a very satisfying ending so I hope they don't try to squeeze another season out of it because it's doing so well. The one season is perfect as is. The show stars Betty Gilpin and Jake McDorman who are both terrific in this, especially Jake McDorman. I hope this leads to bigger things for him because he's such an underrated actor.

I fell in love with Betty Gilpin's "style" (such a difficult word to settle on for this kind of actress) when we first saw her in The Hunt. Her low-key charisma is just endearing! I even made a mental note of looking up other projects she's been in so that hubby and I could watch. Life being what it is, and other things taking precedence, I never really did so. As such, it was so great to catch a glimpse of this "coming attraction" and having my mind tickled as to just WHO that actress was! Discovering that it was Ms. Gilpin who was leading the cast, and we were in!

Being that other reviewers have done an excellent job in covering the fact that the show involves an AI algorithm which maneuvers individuals into doing its bidding, I won't go into more about it. I will say that Mrs. Davis is a highly entertaining, make-you-think series, and that all the characters are worth watching. It is a series that is unapologetically geared toward those who have a love of all things technologically advanced; Sci-Fi lovers; Skynet fans; Cowboys; pineapple-eaters; cat lovers; dog people; ...maybe not horse-lovers; tighty-whitey wearers; boxer brief aficionados; commando goers .... meaning it is a smorgasbord of entertainment - but mostly for those with open minds who really do wish to be entertained. (It's always sad for me to see self-professed cinephiles handing out ratings of 1's and 2's across their viewing board).

It can be fast-paced at times while at the same time, it merely hints at what it wants to get to, little by little. If you too prefer these shows as opposed to those that drop everything in your lap in the first couple of episodes thereby removing all suspense or mystery (while you then complain about how 'predictable shows are nowadays'), then this is a show for you.
