Mr. & Mrs. Smith

John and Jane Smith are two people who abandoned their old lives and identities so they could become a married cover for a deeper purpose. They end up living together as partners on paperwork and as partners in the field, juggling domestic routines with missions that demand quick thinking and moral compromise. The show keeps the focus on how their private relationship and professional partnership collide, as small betrayals and unexpected overlaps complicate trust and attraction. Scenes shift from quiet, awkward home moments to sudden bursts of action, and the tone moves between dark humor and tense stakes without revealing any major plot twists or final outcomes.

Released in 2024, the series was created by Donald Glover, Francesca Sloane and Simon Kinberg, with Glover starring opposite Maya Erskine. Its production drew attention because of the creators' profiles and the blend of comedic and action elements.

The series hasn't collected major industry awards so far, but critics and viewers have frequently mentioned the lead performances. Reviews often single out Glover and Erskine for their chemistry and timing, even when opinions differ on pacing and tone.

On social media the show prompted conversations about genre blending and the idea of marriage as a cover, with fans quoting memorable moments and sharing clips of standout action sequences. Costuming and the sitcom-meets-spy aesthetic became common topics in fan threads, and the pairing of a high-profile creator with a rising comedic actor kept it visible in pop culture discussions.

Overall reception is mixed to positive, reflected in a 6.5/10 average from 360 votes. Reviewers praise the show's willingness to mix genres and its interest in identity, trust, secrecy, and intimate power dynamics, while some critics note uneven plotting and tonal shifts that might not work for viewers who prefer a straightforward spy drama or a pure comedy.
