OMG!!!! I LOVED THIS SO MUCH! It has been so long since I have found a show that I have found so fully entrancing, so bingeable, so fun!! I really really enjoyed this so much and I was not expecting to. I hadn't heard anything about it until I happened upon it when I was scrolling prime. The cast is great, the story is really intriguing, and come on- who doesn't love street racing?!? Also, there were several times where the humor just hit me so well. This definitely isn't a comedy but there were several times I belly laughed. I really hope that Prime gives this bad boy a season 2. The story deserves it. And the cliff hangers?? My heart is palpitating.

Wow, I am truly impressed by this movie. This is probably the best modern romcom I have seen in the last 10 years. The leads are both exceptional in their roles and the story is really really good. I didn't cringe once. I even related a bit with Max as I too have developed a lot of social anxiety post covid. I think Grant played such a good Max. Lucy as Nicole was also phenomenal, her character was different than any I've seen her play before. I love the premise, so much that I wish this was a novel so that I could read it and get even more. After watching this my heart is warm and my soul is content. Will definitely rewatch again and again.

Respectfully to those of you who have left a low review, take a breath.

I'll be honest, the reason I watched this show was because of Donald. However, the reason I stayed was because this show blew my socks off. There is nothing else on streaming that is even remotely similar.

Spy movies/shows just aren't my thing so I wasn't expecting to like it. I was just supporting a creator that I admire. I was completely taken aback by the fact that it gripped me from the first scene. Now having finished the show I love that the beginning scene paralleled the ending scene. I wasn't expecting that and I think it was poetic.

I most enjoyed getting to watch our Jane and John grow. The shy beginning growing into a tight connection and then slowly fading to them growing apart to only in the end, reunite organically. Their growth felt palpable, I felt like I was watching a real life couple who are trying to navigate lives, careers, and love. I think that was the point, Mr & Mrs Smith ARE just real people chosen from the masses. Real people with emotions and problems. Getting to see that in the high stakes setting of the spy world felt so immersive. When watching action tv/movies the action is the plot and character development is on the back burner. This show spun that on its head, it prioritized the viewers connection to the characters to establish an emotional link (while still showing unique and gripping action) which immersed the viewer in their world. When they hurt we hurt. They felt like us.

We watched Jane and John grow, succeed, fail & fall in love. This wasnt just a journey for them, it was a journey for us, the viewer. This show was art. This show and these characters felt real. I hope to see a season 2.
