A nun is forced to leave her convent by a powerful artificial intelligence known as Mrs. Davis.

I thought I was losing it, when I couldn’t find the thread in my list.  
This show is strange.  Did they really have to kill her horse?

I was hoping we'd find out it didn't die.

The show is a trip but I might like it even though it's not normally my genre.

Oh, because we just saw a crater. I didn't think of that. Or did you just mean after he hit the button?

I stopped about ten minutes into episode three, because it's a little too much at once, but I might get back into it later, or tomorrow. I like the actors involved.

This is so weird but I’m still curious about where it is going.

I started watching because I work in AI and loved Betty Gilpin in G.L.O.W. The first episode was so over the top that it veered into camp territory, which I'm not sure was the creators' intention. It didn't grip me, but I'll watch one more episode to see if it picks up.

Oh it's definitely intentional. Or maybe not camp but definitely comic book and over the top.

OK, that was pretty bonkers. It started out with a bang and didn’t really slow down from there. I’m definitely in. Really looking forward to seeing where this goes.

When the algorithm asked Simone what she desired, I answered right away. And when Simone asked the algorithm what it wanted her to find, I also answered right away. Normally that's not a promising sign, but I'll watch at least one more episode. A show centered around an AI is new territory for me. (I'm pretending She-Hulk: Attorney at Law didn't happen.)

So far it seems like somebody watched Everything Everywhere all at Once and thought "I can do that (tonally)" and I have to tell that person: No you can't.

I usually love weird and quirky. But this feels so forced.

Oh well, I really like Betty Gilpin, so I'll give this a few more episodes, but it better pick up by quite a bit.

This is so not my genre. It's unconventional, quirky, zany or whatever you wanna call it.

When I thought Rabbit Hole is confusing, this is so much more. Am only here because of Betty Gilpin.

Spoiler

To be fair, it is a commercial.

Tis a scratch.

Stumbled across the pilot by accident. I give everything with Jake McDormand a chance (although he seems to be a bit of a show-killer). Looks like I finally have another batshit crazy show on my watch list.

Kudos to the costume department - it took me a while to notice how they adapted Liz... Simone's habit so it would work for horse- and bike-riding and general badassery. 

I'm in!

Horse is a true case of Schrodinger's cat for me. If it's not dead - cool. If they really had the guts to go there - also cool. Both word for me. Speaking of Schrodinger - I guess he's Simone's Dad.

There’s hatch! Thanks Damon Lindelof.

What was the acronym? Hidden Access Tactical Camouflage Hideout. Hee.
