is Preacock's new sci-fi dramedy from David Lindelof , which pits a nun against an all-knowing artificial intelligence in a zany and reference-heavy adventure.Mrs. Davis
Simone is a nun who does her holy duties at her convent during the day while hunting down magicians on a white horse at night. Simone has a grudge against magicians, and with good reason, and refuses to communicate with the A.I., referred to as Mrs. Davis, that is trying to get in contact with her for some reason.
The adventure itself is the real promise of the show. The quest given to Simone is a cliche as it reminds us continuously, but it's the journey itself that will make it worthwhile, and so far, the journey is fun. It does have religious themes and ideas about free will, but its themes are not necessarily the focal point, which is a good thing. The total commitment to the absurdity of a nun tracking down and foiling magicians in the desert is noted and appreciated and shows an absurdity of vision its creators Hernandez and Lindelof, are going all out for. The little breadcrumbs that get sprinkled throughout the first batch of episodes get very satisfying payoffs.
