- 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
Nun vs AI
Lizzie is a nun named Sister Simone (Betty Gilpin). She gets leads from Jay to confront magicians who con people. She refuses to connect with Mrs. Davis, a powerful global artificial intelligence which is influencing people for an unknown objective. After Mrs. Davis disbands her convent, she is rescued by her ex Wiley (Jake McDorman) who is battling to destroy the AI with his gang of muscle-headed minions.
This comes from creators, Tara Hernandez of Big Bang Theory and Damon Lindelof. It is like a cross between a sitcom and Lost. The tone is comedic and broadly surreal. There are twists upon twists and meta upon meta. There is a literal Jesus and that reveal is the first clue to this show's sensibility. It's off-kilter but familiar. It is wacko in the best sense. Betty Gilpin is always lovely and slyly comedic. Check her out with the bird. She is hilarious. It's a limited series on Peacock and leaves me wanting more.
