Your support makes all the difference.One of the most iconic films of the 2000s, Mr & Mrs Smith was the movie that ignited the flame between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. It’s a film that viewers have returned to over and over again, just to watch the pair smoulder intensely at each other.
Almost 20 years later, the movie has been rebooted as a TV series. Fronted by Donald Glover and Maya Erskine, their take on Mr & Mrs Smith is worlds away from the original, but the chemistry is still electric. “It’s more intimate than all-out sexy; more tender than tawdry. All they share is a love of explosions and a name,” The Independent’s Annabel Nugent wrote in her interview.
Only loosely inspired by the film, the series follows two lonely spies who have given up their lives and are posing as a married couple. In the movie, John and Jane Smith are actually married, but they don’t know they’re both spies.
The Mr & Mrs Smith TV series is co-created by Glover and Francesca Sloane, who worked together on Atlanta. All episodes of the eight-part series started streaming on 2 February – keep reading to find out where you can watch it.
