The rare show that feels inscrutable at first and eventually seduces you to such an intense degree that you would eagerly die on the nearest available hill defending it.
There are impressive performances all around, but Gilpin’s is something beyond that; she’s utterly natural and present in every moment of a role that asks much of her. ... “Mrs. Davis” is complicated, but neatly organized. And the emotional arc is always intelligible, and very, very satisfying.

A strange, wild, creative, compelling, hilarious, incredibly well-written story with the most talented group of actors on TV. It is impossible to put this show into a genre, which makes the performances by the entire cast so amazing. They make the sometimes abrupt transitions in tone so seamless and real, that you are thrilled to be along for the ride.

A true original that’s completely strange, “Mrs. Davis” is a breath of fresh air in a reboot-happy medium.
Mrs. Davis, refreshingly, isn't operating on the same level as any other show out there. In fact, it's playing in a league all its own. The only potential drawback to that is whether audiences will be able to meet it where it is, because, for better or for worse, it's a series that doesn't readily offer up answers for anything, at least not right away.
Watching its seemingly mismatched pieces strain to fit together is more appealing in many ways than watching other current series go about their business in more coherent and consistent fashion. ... There is something that feels right and on-topic for this one to be so sprawling and messy and unsure of itself. ... It manages to hit you in the feelings.
“Mrs. Davis” the series, on the other hand, cartwheels from the sublime to the goofy. I wish it took itself more seriously (which probably also would have made it funnier). But it has moments of astonishment.
That’s not to say that Mrs. Davis runs out of steam; it continues piling on the lunacy until the life-and-death end, along the way providing enough recurring motifs, signifiers, pop-culture references, biblical flourishes, and quippy one-liners to keep one perpetually stunned and surprised. It’s just that going this overboard ultimately has the effect of minimizing the impact of any single facet of its story.
A unique show that entertains and keeps you on your toes. It’s bizarre in the best way. It loses a little steam in the last couple episodes, but still provides a satisfying ending.

watchable, despite all the woke cringe

This is a pretty rambling show with unusual acting and a good story line. Watching the show is like watching stream-of-conscientious TV; very disorienting. I end up skipping through too much of each episode to get the gist of the point of the show. Recommendation: "this may be good to put on in the background while you do something else."
