In a pop culture universe full of sadistic, world-ending AI, Mrs. Davis seems like a breath of fresh air. The app-based antagonist of the new Peacock series of the same name, Mrs. Davis exists to crowdsource acts of service and, through billions of earbuds worldwide, has become the omnipresent voice inside the world’s collective head. She awards in-app wings to her most avid and benevolent users—including those who pledge to end their lives early in service of her glory—and (as Mrs. Davis viewers learn later in the show) she has a rather specious origin story.
