Three overlooked TV series on Peacock that you should check out this weekend (August 21-23)

      Peacock has quietly curated a collection of shows that never received the recognition they rightly deserved. I explored some hidden treasures this week, and the selection includes a nun fighting an omnipotent AI, a vacation mystery that takes a wrong turn, and a poignant medical drama. Whether you're in the mood for the bizarre, humorous, or profoundly human, you'll find something here that appeals to you. Here are three underrated TV series on Peacock that are worth adding to your watchlist.

      We also provide guides to the best new movies to stream, top films on Netflix, Hulu's best movies, free movies, and the best offerings on Amazon Prime Video.

      **Mrs. Davis (2023)**

      - **Genre:** Comedy, drama, sci-fi

      - **IMDb:** 7.3/10

      - **Rotten Tomatoes:** 92%

      Simone (Betty Gilpin) is a nun who rides motorcycles and lives a quiet life in a convent. Her world is turned upside down when a powerful, all-knowing AI singles her out. The AI bets that it will erase itself if Simone can find and destroy the Holy Grail. Alongside her rebellious ex-boyfriend Wiley (Jake McDorman), Simone gets drawn into a whirlwind of secret societies, religious conspiracies, and ancient legends.

      I recommend this series because it transcends a single genre, successfully merging faith, technology, and outright absurdity into a storyline that feels surprisingly plausible. Betty Gilpin shines as Simone, exhibiting excellent comedic timing and emotional depth. Each episode of *Mrs. Davis* takes an unexpected twist about fifteen minutes in, and the sharp satire is expertly executed.

      Stream *Mrs. Davis* on Peacock.

      **The Resort (2022)**

      - **Genre:** Comedy, mystery

      - **IMDb:** 7.3/10

      - **Rotten Tomatoes:** 88%

      Noah (William Jackson Harper) and Emma (Cristin Milioti), a couple celebrating their tenth anniversary at a resort, discover an old cell phone hidden in the jungle. This find leads them into a strange unsolved mystery surrounding the disappearance of two young tourists fifteen years earlier. The pursuit of truth becomes an obsession that jeopardizes their already fragile marriage.

      I appreciated how the show intricately connects its true crime mystery to Emma and Noah's marriage, turning the act of solving the case into a means of saving their relationship. Cristin Milioti portrays Emma with a restless, obsessive energy that draws you in. Though this underrated series on Peacock becomes somewhat convoluted toward the end, the journey is consistently engaging.

      Stream *The Resort* on Peacock.

      **Transplant (2020 to 2024)**

      - **Genre:** Medical drama

      - **IMDb:** 7.9/10

      - **Rotten Tomatoes:** 85%

      Dr. Bashir Hamed (Hamza Haq), a talented emergency medicine physician who escapes war-torn Syria, arrives in Toronto as a refugee with his younger sister. Eager to practice medicine again, Bash must restart his entire medical education, ultimately securing a residency at the city’s busiest emergency department under Dr. Jed Bishop (John Hannah). His journey is far from easy, as his training, background, and experiences set him apart from his colleagues.

      I admire how the series creates a compelling medical drama by favoring authenticity over sensational plot twists. Hamza Haq delivers an incredibly heartfelt performance that lends significant depth to the show. The intense, high-pressure medical scenes combined with a respectful, moving depiction of the immigrant experience are particularly noteworthy.

      Stream *Transplant* on Peacock.
