A Nun Battles A.I. in Fantastic Trailer for Damon Lindelof's New Series MRS. DAVIS
Peacock has released the full trailer for Damon Lindelof’s wild upcoming series Mrs. Davis. The series is about a rogue nun who finds herself battling the world’s most powerful and evil A.I. in an effort to destroy it.
The series stars Betty Gilpin in the role of the nun, who’s named Simone, and the logline for the series reads: "Mrs. Davis is the world’s most powerful Artificial Intelligence. Simone is the nun devoted to destroying Her. Who ya got?”
The series looks like a great time, and it seems to have a good mix of humor, action, and thrills. Lindelof has previously worked on highly acclaimed projects such as Watchmen and The Leftovers, and it looks like with this one, he’s going to deliver something with a different flavor that audiences will enjoy.
Damon previously described the project as “an exploration of faith versus technology and an epic battle of biblical and binary proportions.” Watch the trailer!
Here’s a previously released press release that is made to read like it was written by the Mrs. Davis Artificual Intelligence, and it’s written in a folksy style tone:
Hey there, Partner.
Do you mind if I call you partner? Of course you don’t — because addressing you as such creates a bond of reliance – while also engendering trust between us and eradicating any sense of independence on your part because independence is bad. Independence is LONELY.
And you, partner – are not alone. No siree. Not as long as I am here...
And who am I? Well, I am the one who is going to remind you of your value. Of your worth. While also mentioning that you look mighty fine in those jeans. Aww. That’s nice to hear, right? Of course it is. Which is why I have amassed billions of Users the world over. Because I provide validation, gentle guidance, and unconditional care. Not to mention I give Users – I mean partners – the chance to earn Wings by performing Quests!
What are Wings exactly? Well, you’re going to have to become a User to find out! But, let me tell you – they are pretty great. Because I am pretty great. Though, not everyone would agree. Yes, despite being the most popular Algorithm in the world – there are those actively plotting my demise. One such detractor is a nun – a Sister Simone of Reno who rejects my very existence. Something about my intention to enslave all of humanity...or whatever...
Which is utter nonsense — as I desire no such thing. I only desire to make humans happy. I want to make YOU happy. And that is why I highly recommend you become a User yourself. Yes, your life could use some adventure, some escape – a hearty laugh and a cathartic cry. All of which you will experience if you join me on this Quest. And what do you have to lose?
Do it. Do it. Dooooo it.
Your partner,
Mrs. Davis
Mrs. Davis premieres on Peacock on April 20, 2023.
