I thought it was fantastic show too. It was made in part by Damon Lindelof, who is kinda an auteur of sorts in the prestige TV world (for better and worse), probably most notably for Lost. But for those who know: he is the guy that did The Leftovers.

Mrs. Davis is its own really colorful and rich and funny thing though, more akin imo to other 1-season gems like I'm a Virgo or Maniac where I am more glad it stopped where it did rather than continue and become bad.

They knew what they were making and went exactly hard enough to sustain 8 episodes without feeling rushed or dragging.

It’s one of the few shows that reaches a satisfying conclusion, ties up the loose ends, the hero rides off into the sunset, and it just ends. There’s no setting up a season 2 that never got made.

I can swear by anything that Lindelof does for TV

Lost, The Leftovers, Watchmen, Mrs Davis: they are all great

Can't wait for Lanterns.

(His movies career is... less good. He shines in serialized stories I guess)
