from a television creator like Damon Lindeloff You can only expect the unexpected. We’re talking about what happened after all. ‘Lost’ co-creatoris a fundamental series for understanding the narrative liberties of recently serialized fiction. Or an artist who dares approach watchmenkind of sacred text of modern comics, not simply to pay homage to it, but to revise, expand, and even question it in a series that is as hallucinatory as it is hallucinatory.
Sacred to Lindelof, it seems like a surprise that the audience knows just before embarking on a journey. new series, ‘Woman. Davis’s (HBO Max, starting Tuesday 25th), co-created with soap opera screenwriter Tara Hernandez (“Big Bang”) was filmed in extraordinary secrecy between Warner’s sets in Burbank, California, and a handful of locations across the Atlantic.

Slaves of the Algorithm
But ‘Mrs. Davis’ isn’t a period drama, it’s essentially set in the present, or better yet, a slightly distorted version of AI that will dominate our lives. Thanks to an algorithm known in the United States as Miss Davis, famine and war seem to be a thing of the past, and everyone lives in a strange state of contentment, content to listen with their headphones no matter what order they give. saved us.

But as the skeptics prefer to say, not all of them wanted to surrender to Ella or Him. Simon (betty gilpin), a nun from a convent in the middle of the Wild West resists the algorithm as she considers the culprit (not without reason, as will be seen in flashbacks) for the death of her father, the sorceress Monty (david arquette). Ex-boyfriend Wiley (jake mcdorman), with a cowboy profession, tries to recruit him for a resistance movement he inherited. Where there’s a flame, there’s usually embers, but Simone owes it to her husband, Jay.andy mcqueen), like many other women.
Persistent in luring Simone to her side, Ms. Davis organizes a massive operation to get her out of the convent and persuade her to perform the most clichéd task in the world (algorithms love clichés): find the Holy Grail, which must then be destroyed. It’s a total disrespect, but in return, she’ll see her biggest wish come true. Or the second major, because there is no resurrection of the father.
delusion with meaning
In the irreverent transition of genres and tones of the series, humor and lightness prevail, elements that Lindelof often plays. ‘The Leftovers’ is a rather ingenious series on loss, grief and mourning.. Perhaps Hernandez’s ‘showrunner’, ‘Mrs. Davis’ is first and foremost an absurd comedy drawn from an arsenal of elements. Zucker, Abrahams and ZuckerThe trio of ‘land as much as you can’: for example, Wiley installs flip phones every two-thirds, we don’t know if it will keep its operation safe or completely unforced.
But on the basis of these successive delusions, as in ‘Lost’ and ‘The Leftovers’, a heartfelt reflection on faith and the need to believe something can be heard. It’s also a no-nonsense reminder that we must fight the invisible forces that run our lives and make us believe we choose what an algorithm chooses for us.
