Credit where due department: Even in a show as studiously zany asMrs.
Davis, I didnt expect the main character to have a sexual relationship with Jesus Christ Almighty.
Thats the big reveal that dominates the back half of the Peacock science fantasy-comedys four-episode drop today.
At least, it was a big reveal tome.
Nope, she was literally sayingyestoJesus himself.
Its clever writing; Ill give it that!
(He and Lizzie each have half of the same adult donor liver.)
But at the last moment, his courage fails him, and he bails.
Which it was, but not for the reason he thinks.
(God the Father is the mysterious boss behind that locked door.)
She falls in love real love, romantic love, wanna-have-sex-with-you-and-watch-The-Golden-Girls-on-Hulu-with-you-afterward love with Jesus/Jay at first sight.
Jesus answered her prayer and seduced her in one fell swoop.

Meanwhile, Simone finds her way to the Vatican, too, despite herself.
What frustrates me most aboutMrs.
Davis, though, is how uncomfortable it is with its own maximalism.
It makes me want to scream, frankly.
Dont do crazy shit and then have a character snicker, See how crazy that shit was?
Just like something out of a bad TV show.
Its your show, my dudes!
You didnt have to write it that way if you didnt want to!
Whats his excuse here?
