Despite a relatively chaste tone, Mr & Mrs Smith manages to be one of the sexiest shows on TV. And somehow, even with all the balaclavas and firearms and computer hacking, one of the most truthful ones.
“Mr. And Mrs. Smith” ends with an enigmatic tease for more, and it feels like the rare show, well-considered in its surveillance of relationship difficulties, deserving of a second chance at love, or at least making things right.

One of my favorite shows of all time. The chemistry between the two leads is phenomenal. They're very relatable. It's as realistic a portrayal of what the life of married people in this situation would be like while still being super funny. Watch it! you'll like it!

SEASON 1
The show belongs to Glover and Erskine, who play well together, in harmony and dissonance. As ever, he’s an amiable, interesting, low-key presence; his John is the more open of the two. .... Erskine is absolutely wonderful in the part, and one hopes for another season if only to keep that performance going.
It may not be as landmark a series as “Atlanta” or as twisted as “Pen15” (Erskine’s previous project), but it’s a remarkably easy watch, a fun piece of comfort food programming that alternates unpredictable mystery-of-the-week plotting with increasingly likable characters.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith, to its credit, is not like many other spy shows. It’s a thrilling escape from mundanity, yes, but it also tugs on your heartstrings as much as it focuses on its leads beating up the bad guys — if not more so. Putting character first leads to a quick investment in the lives of these two strangers trying to figure out both themselves and each other.
A gorgeously photographed and well-acted but maddeningly vague and weirdly lighthearted and often tone-deaf limited series.
It's an action-spy rom-com that isn't particularly successful or stirring. It's a shame that with the on-screen talent involved, the one thing these actors can't make you do is care.
In essence, “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” narrates the tale of two strangers aspiring to become agents, whose journey gradually transforms into a love story filled with action. With its fearless approach to bullets and the infusion of rich guest appearances, the series adds vibrancy to its narrative. While we may know what to expect in the finale, the series manages to throw a slight curveball, leaving room for speculation about a potential second season. Thanks to the magnificent chemistry between the leads, the series is a joy to watch from start to finish, asserting its presence in a year marked by the abundance of rich and grandiose series.

They sure don't look like "Smith's", do they. Very diverse though. It's a shame Amazon, Netflix, Paramount and Disney spend all their time making everything as absurdly diverse as possible, while forgetting that the only thing that matters is that it has a good story.
