Great show, very entertaining!

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.

Such an original and fun show

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.

Welcome to the Absurd

And I freaking love it. It's like they took the non sequitur on a surreal hero's journey. It takes a certain nonchalance to humor this, episode by episode. It's not really a LOL but more like a HAHA. Can we alike it to Monty Python's Holy Grail? I think so...

SO......where we going with Jesus vs AI (on episode 4)? I like the period accurate Jesus tho. Each scene is a "yes, and" to the next unexpected.

I. Can't. Wait.

Chris Diamantopoulos does the best over-the-top ridiculous characters, He really honed it working with Mike Judge.

Sixty Two more characters to submit this user review. Dum di DUMB DUMB.

Buckaroo Banzai Meets The Forbin Project

No need to say any more.

But if IMDB requires a bit more explication:

Please then consider the droll absurdity of The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, a film from 1984. We see the eponymous character, Buckaroo Banzai, involved in a host of amazing adventures. Buckaroo is a polymath (look it up folks), and--like Sister Simone--has a plethora (look it up folks) of talents that permit him to solve crimes, puzzles and undertake incredible adventures. He's a brain surgeon as well as the lead singer in the Hong Kong Cavaliers rock group.

OK, now on to the Forbin Project. A 1968/69 film wherein scientists create a super computer to control their strategic defenses (think nuclear missiles), and discover they created better than they knew. Subsequent high jinks and world domination ensue.

Sound familiar?

The only question remaining for me is the one my wife asked as we watched the first episode: "How on Earth did they pitch this to the money men?"

How indeed.

Interesting!

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.

Trivia
Fittingly, given the importance that an artificial intelligence plays in the show's plot, an AI also played a role in the show's creation. In an April 2023 interview with the Hollywood Reporter's Jackie Strause, co-creators Tara Hernandez and Damon Lindelof said that one of the show's writers, Jonny Sun (also a PhD candidate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) wrote an algorithm that the staff then used to generate the episode titles. This explains why some of the titles are odd or awkward in various ways: repetitive ("A Baby with Wings, a Sad Boy with Wings and a Great Helmet"' "A Great Place to Drink to Gain Control of Your Drink"); nonsensical ("Zwei Sie Piel mit Seitung Sie Wirtschaftung" is mostly garbled or mock German); or unwieldy combinations of unrelated elements ("Great Gatsby 2001: A Space Odyssey"). Soon after the first season began airing, the Writers' Guild of America went on strike; one of their main demands was for assurance that writers would be protected from being replaced partly or wholly by AI writing programs like ChatGPT.
