As for the rest, most people are enjoying the show and got hooked on it within a few episodes. Several Twitter users have commended the show for its well-written plot, charming and relevant dialogues, as well as great performances by Glover and Erskine. Overall, the plot’s pace and storyline appear to be immersive and relatable, their chemistry as well as the thrill slowly building up for an explosive climax.
Mr & Mrs Smith’s series has several reasons for being deserving of the praise showered upon it till now, but the primary reason remains its divergence from the old and established notion of Mr and Mrs Smith, the married assassin couple hailing from two enemy organizations.
Its exploration of an honest relationship between two newly recruited, lonely assassins who are forced to use marriage as a social ruse to work, is refreshing as well as its portrayal of new espionage agents learning the rules of the game as they play the field and go on missions.
