After being ousted from her convent, Sister Simone vows to destroy the one responsible: a powerful artificial intelligence known as Mrs. Davis. To exact her revenge, Simone makes a deal with the algorithm and is thrust into a dangerous world of secret societies, religious conspiracies and age-old legends as she searches for the whereabouts of the most clichéd and overused MacGuffin -- the Holy Grail. To complete the ridiculous and farfetched task, Simone teams up with her rebellious ex-boyfriend, Wiley, who is now the leader of an underground resistance movement dedicated to stopping Mrs. Davis. Together they face a variety of mysterious and powerful forces as they search for the Grail, the one thing capable of destroying the algorithm once and for all. As they grow closer to completing their quest, Simone must confront her past, prove the strength of her faith and uncover long-hidden secrets as she fights to liberate a society that may not want to be freed.

Critics Consensus

Positively bonkers while undergirded by an intelligent design, Mrs. Davis makes Betty Gilpin a hero for modern times in a highly imaginative mixture of spirituality and technology.

Consequence

Mrs. Davis is big, bold, and loud in both its ideas and its execution, with some pretty stunning set-pieces across its eight-episode run.

Rated: B+

How often do we see a badass nun in a futuristic setting? How often do we get these kinds of weird but fun moments of danger? I didn’t know this flavor of jam was an option, but now that I’ve discovered it, I’m ready to eat it by the spoonful.

We have no clue where any of this goes from here, or if it even can go anywhere from here, but we do know we’ll be along for the assuredly weird and entertaining ride.

Delightfully wild and gleefully ridiculous... When Mrs Davies begins, going with the flow is the only response.

This is one of the best tv shows in a long time! I really loved everything from the actors, cinematography, writing, directing, editing, score, etc - it was a full packaged deal! We need more artistic and creative stories and projects like THIS coming from Hollywood. I can’t believe they won’t have another season of this epic series!!! It’s unacceptable! Can another streaming service pick it up and continue the journey please? It was too good for not having another 1 to 2 seasons added!! Well done to the entire cast and crew and thank you for the fun journey!

Despite having a few flat spots, this odd-ball look at religion and the effects of technology is a show will keep you hooked enough to see it through to it's conclusion

This show is bizarre, confusing and a waste of time! It felt sacrilegious! Truly a twisted series. I'm angry about the time wasted! Don't bother watching it!

This was such a crazy tv show - but thoroughly engaging, inventive, thought-provoking - absolute genius. Great acting and an insane story-line that kept me riveted the whole time. Highly recommend.

An absolute ride and the best (and funniest) show you'll see in a long while. Feels very topical, too.
