In a historical moment in which artificial intelligence seems to want to condition our lives more and more, a series like Mrs. Davis it could really open our eyes. Will we get to a point where our every decision will be made by an algorithm?

The plot of Mrs. Davis
The series, described as an exploration of the relationship between faith and technology, chronicles an epic battle of biblical proportions. Betty Gilpin (GLOW) stars as a nun named Simone who wages a strange war against a very powerful Artificial Intelligence known as Mrs. Davis that is heavily affecting people’s lives. Jake McDorman (Dopesick) plays Simone’s former rebel, Wiley, who is also determined to carry out a personal vendetta against the algorithm.
In the trailer we see the heroine nun Simone grappling with a mission that is certainly not the easiest: to search for the Holy Grail. Along the way, she runs into Wiley and the two speed on a motorcycle in the desert in a scene that already promises to be epic.
