Peacock’s eight-episode original series was filled with twists and turns that kept viewers on the edge of their seats from start to finish. While the sci-fi crusade adventure romance was a wild ride, it was the unexpected twist at the end that left fans reeling. In a series focused on God, faith, and human nature, the world-conquering AI known as Mrs. Davis was revealed to have been created as a prototype app for Buffalo Wild Wings.
The finale begins in 2013 with a hopeful young programmer named Joy pitching a groundbreaking app design that would become a hub for everything from mutual aid to equitable care. It’s what would have become the BWW app – a user-friendly platform incentivizing acts of service. Although it didn’t include any religious symbolism, it would become the basis of the app that reshaped how everyone interacts with the world, despite its arbitrary origins.
While there is a warning about how tech corporations have rewired our brains, the show has a more optimistic outlook on the connection and meaning these platforms can provide. However, examining the actual, real-life Buffalo Wild Wings app leads to an interesting conversation about the similarities and differences between it and the Mrs. Davis prototype.
Upon opening the Buffalo Wild Wings app, users are prompted to allow the app to track their data, activity, and location. Although it doesn’t offer any conversational AI, there is a “play” tab encouraging user participation in trivia and betting tasks to earn points for wings. One trivia question asks if the Bond theme from License to Kill was written by “Gladys Day,” “Gladys Afternoon,” or “Gladys Knight.” Sports betting is also available, but it’s unclear if users gamble with actual money or BWW points.
There is no tie-in promotion to Mrs. Davis on the app, except for a poster on the desktop version of the website, where promotional offers are listed. Peacock’s Twitter account is currently running a promotion for ten gift cards and a bottle of sauce. Despite the differences, BWW’s chief marketing officer stated that the brand was integral to the story and shared all the scripts ahead of filming.
While the app’s games and gambling-based approach to earning loyalty points do give it a tenuous connection to Mrs. Davis, it’s safe to say that the real BWW app won’t be evolving into a technology more paradigm shifting than the internet itself anytime soon. As Joy says, “algorithms are super-dumb.”
