Sci-fi: MRS. DAVIS

For those without Neon, this bonkers series arrives on Vibe. It’s created by writer Taraand The title is taken from Hernandez’s first-grade teacher, “who had this very personal touch”, she told Vulture. The AI Mrs. Davis in the show is an allseeing, all-knowing benevolent force loved by nearly everyone. Except Betty Gilpin’s Sister Simone, that is, who is sent on a quest to destroy the Holy Grail with the proviso that Mrs. Davis will turn herself off if she succeeds. And that’s not even the half of it.
