Absolutely brilliant!! Great acting and script. Lots of plot twists and usual characters. This is a dark, gritty, must see police drama. I've watched it four times. I binge watched it every time. It's gripping. The characters are amazing and worth rooting for every minute. I'm glad to see that there'll be a second season. The first season was excellent. I really hope they don't f...k it up the second season.
As someone who's watched the movie version at least 10 times, I was very skeptical abt the new tv series. To my surprise, it's totally binge worthy. I've already watched this Mr & Mrs Smith tv series three times and I'll probably watch it again.
Yes, it's very different from the movie but includes many of the fun scenes from the movie. The tv series is funny and action packed. The operations are unique and unpredictable. The "get to know you process" for John and Jane is relatable especially for those of us with trust issues. Glover and Erskine are great together!
I hope the series is renewed for a second season. I'd love to see where the producers take the series.
For those who disliked the series because it's different from the movie, I say, grow up and just watch the movie again. Or, look at it for what it is: "inspired by." It's simply a different interpretation of the movie. Much like the recent Sherlock Holmes-inspired series Elementary and Sherlock. Those series are completely different interpretations of Sherlock Holmes but are each great series on their own.
As for the criticism that the lead characters do not have the same Angie/Brad chemistry, I say, who would? Angie and Brad are superstar sex symbols and were in the early stages of their love/lust affair. In the movie, John and Jane chose to marry each other and later found out that they're both spies. In the tv series, they're newly hired spies agreeing to marry another unknown spy chosen by the agency. It's like Married at First Sight for spies.
And, for those who still can't handle a mixed race couple on tv, all I can say is join the real world - evolve or be left behind.
