- TriviaFittingly, given the importance that an artificial intelligence plays in the show's plot, an AI also played a role in the show's creation. In an April 2023 interview with the Hollywood Reporter's Jackie Strause, co-creators Tara Hernandez and Damon Lindelof said that one of the show's writers, Jonny Sun (also a PhD candidate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) wrote an algorithm that the staff then used to generate the episode titles. This explains why some of the titles are odd or awkward in various ways: repetitive ("A Baby with Wings, a Sad Boy with Wings and a Great Helmet"' "A Great Place to Drink to Gain Control of Your Drink"); nonsensical ("Zwei Sie Piel mit Seitung Sie Wirtschaftung" is mostly garbled or mock German); or unwieldy combinations of unrelated elements ("Great Gatsby 2001: A Space Odyssey"). Soon after the first season began airing, the Writers' Guild of America went on strike; one of their main demands was for assurance that writers would be protected from being replaced partly or wholly by AI writing programs like ChatGPT.

Featured review
Ridiculous(ly good)
NBC has always produced some of my favorite comedies; Community, The Office, 30 Rock, Parks & Rec, just to name a few. Mrs. Davis follows in this tradition in that it has a quirky and ridiculous sense of humor with an engaging storyline that has me excited for the rest of the season.
In addition to the humor, the action is fun and keeps your attention and the actors seem to have dived into their characters and play them well.
I like quirky shows, and this fits the bill, but if you know you don't enjoy ridiculous premises and random humor, this show might not be for you.
This show has a similar overarching plot to that of "Artificial Intelligence" with Melissa McCarthy that came out a few years back, but overall is very different with its subplots.
