⭐⭐⭐⭐ (out of 5) Mr. & Mrs. Smith – Marriage Is the Ultimate Mission
This reimagining of Mr. & Mrs. Smith flips the formula on its head — instead of married assassins discovering they’re each other’s targets, two spies are paired together pretending to be married. They know it’s fake, but the lines blur as bullets and emotions start flying. It’s less about marital betrayal and more about professional chemistry under pressure, equal parts espionage and awkward date night.
The show focuses more on spycraft than seduction, but the relationship angle still hums quietly beneath every mission. It’s slick, stylish, and filled with the kind of covert mishaps that remind you love and trust are just as dangerous as any weapon.
Does it outshine the film? Not quite. The movie had the thrill of discovery; this one trades that for slow-burn tension and emotional friction. Still, it’s a worthy companion piece — a “what if” story that gives the premise new legs and a modern lens. You might not binge it twice, but it’s a fun ride while it lasts.
Pairing: A shaken (not stirred) martini — half espionage, half exasperation, with just enough bite to keep things interesting.
