US Network Peacock have released the trailer for as wacky as it sounds upcoming nun fighting an A.I. apocalypse series Mrs. Davis which in Australia is headed for Binge.
Comedically we wouldn't say its hitting every joke out of the park but on the whole we like what see, with two notes. One of those is potentially problematic.
This week a look at new underground series Silo, a surprise Starfield announcement, Sam Worthington and Simu Liu in new AI film Simulant, disappointment for Star Wars fans as film projects cancelled, nun battles AI in new series Mrs. Davis and a great night for sci-fi at the Oscars.
Speaking ahead of Mrs. Davis' pre-release screening at Austin's SXSW event to The Hollywood Reporter, executive producers Tara Hernandez and Damon Lindelof have touched on the sometimes touchy topic of religion, as did we.
Saying that it felt "subversive and terrifying" to write a cool nun-heroine at a time when religious professionals are rarely viewed as heroic.
Having seen Sally Field (The Flying Nun) recently receive a lifetime achievement award from the Screen Actors Guild it is perhaps timely for American streaming service Peacock to pit a nun against artificial intelligence in Mrs. Davis.
Not a conflict we would have dreamed up but it's attention grabbing and their teaser isn't terrible.
