Betty Gilpin as Simone holds a can attached to a string on Mrs. Davis

Try as we might, SYFY WIRE is simply unable to be as helpful as Mrs. Davis, the titular A.I. in the just-concluded Peacock series. But, maybe that’s a good thing, because if we were like Mrs. Davis, we might have a nun on a quest to destroy us, like Betty Gilpin’s Sister Simone. Even so, we’re going to do our best to help you understand everything there is to know about the series.

We’ve got recaps, interviews with the creators and stars, and explainers for every hour of the series. We hope you’re happy with it — customer satisfaction is our Holy Grail, too.
