s01e08 — A Breakup

I watched it mostly for Glover's sake

The basic rule is to watch without comparing with the movie, and without inflated expectations. Just watch. If you like it, then enjoy watching it, as I did.

The main characters played well, grew and developed in the work of spies, and the series accelerated with them. Cool cast in supporting roles 🔥🔥🔥
Separately, the aesthetics of the entire series, the Smiths' apartment, John's fashionable evolution, gorgeous views of various locations.

R. I. P. Wine Wall 💔

The final is powerful) I thought that in the end they would order each other, in fact, as in the film it was almost the same.
I am glad that in fact the ending is open, although judging by several flashes, most likely Jane was still shot and the series may be closed, as well as a True lie last year

The most interesting series.

I liked the series, in the end it seems they were killed

On the one hand, this is a great romantic series with incredible chemistry between the main characters. On the other hand, it's like a spy thriller that keeps you on your toes, while leaving behind some conventions to remind you once again that this is just a setting for the authors' thoughts.

Because of their narrow-mindedness, many will miss this series, but here all the puzzles played absolutely as they should 💔

To think about how it could have turned out if Phoebe Waller-Bridge had a hand in it after all is my Roman Empire..

The series is average, without enthusiasm. I personally didn't see the chemistry between the Smiths. Each actor is individually interesting, but together it's something awkward. Many will watch this series because of the minor cast. But even there, the characters will not be revealed much. Paul has 2 dialogues (one Smith for each). Paulson has a whole series, and for me it's the best. Some of the dialogue is completely taken from the original series, as well as the scenes themselves. And it looks dull. Half of the dialogues, especially in the first episodes, are boring, awkward and there are the same pauses. You don't have to watch the series, especially if you want spy action. There is little of it here, the actors themselves do not play the same super spies. The series left no smell or taste behind.

Initially, I was categorically against the idea of a TV series remake of my favorite movie of all time, but okay, it wasn't as bad as I suspected. I hadn't seen Glover anywhere but Community, and it was a little strange to see a more masculine and serious version of him. Maya Erskine hooked me on the recently viewed plus one, so I decided to give the series a chance because of her. Fleeting references to the original are a plus, but it seems to me that I would have liked the series more if it had not been submitted under the auspices of the same, but simply as an independent work. In general, something around 6.5/10, I had a good evening, if they show the second season, where they both survived and go against the office, then I'll take a look.

PS HOW COULD YOU HEARTLESS FREAKS KILL A CAT???? 😭😭😭😭😭

I came up with a thesis for myself that seems to best describe the series: the whole series is a set to talk about relationships. And he does it just fine. Another question is that the trailer set the tone of a spy thriller and it seems that most expected it to be of this genre, but as they say, our expectations are our problems.

In general, I liked the series, it has a lot of funny gags, it has a lot of self-reflection and references, Glover is amazing as always, his partner is not much inferior to him. I would put something around 7.5 out of 10.

But for some reason I don't want to continue, I think the series said everything I wanted, and the ending is quite understandable and expected, we were shown in the first series how people of this profession finish.

I feel sorry for Max 😭

Fuck well, Max is for what the fuck and what ended up in the end, understand the dick

Ohh, it turned out to be a great series! I really hope for season 2. If they survived, they still won't be allowed to leave, which means there will be a chance to find out about the corporation and who is behind everything

Did it seem to me or did they copy the whole Smith fight in the house among themselves from the original movie (only instead of the serum in the original, John pours juice to drink)?

And they can make an almanac out of the series, it turns out? Each season is about a different pair of Smiths 🤔

As a result, I liked only three episodes, especially this one. The rest is a scam, which is no better than the same "True lie".

Damn, Donald Glover's mom is so real!

And the cat for what? 😢

Awkward, drawn-out dialogues are even appropriate here. It doesn't seem to be anything special, but it looks interesting.

It was great, all 8 episodes!
"Hi hi everybody!"

A mistake in marketing, to call the film a remake, as for me.
If we develop it as a universe where all the members of the organization are John and Jane, then it is no different from the same universe of Wick, where it feels like there are no peaceful citizens left and everyone is working in the organization.
The series itself is quite good, sometimes it makes you smile, sometimes even empathize with a couple. The chemistry between the characters appeared towards the end, as for me.

It's a good story, separate from the movie. The plot is still different. But I'm hoping for season 2. I don't like the endings of the series "here you sit and think whether they are alive or not." Here you can develop who the hello is. And judging by the first episode, the murdered Smiths apparently decided to leave the organization, but they were not given it and were constantly found. What Jane was saying was that she was tired of running. Maybe these John and Jane survivors will be under the gun of the organization. Who knows.
But I got into a couple💕

In general, it is clear why Phoebe Walter-Bridge left the project. And in vain they emphasized the comparison with the film. But overall, it's a good series. For once, yes. But getting some sleep on a weekend or vacation is the best thing.

Geiz, calling the series a remake is not a marketing mistake, it's just marketing. The audience would not go for a NON-remake as much as for a remake, that's obvious! Why is everyone swearing so much about this, I don't understand, it's literally on the cover! It was written "marriage is their most dangerous task", what did you expect? The series is great, Donald Glover obviously embodied some idea of his own, his thoughts about the relationship between a man and a woman through the prism of everyone's favorite action drama, it was impossible to come up with a better metaphor.

And another assumption: at the very beginning, silhouettes similar to the main characters killed "other" Smiths, and as we know, "other" Smiths are killed only at a super-high level, which the main characters have not yet reached. Therefore, there is reason to think that they still survived and were transferred to a higher level. Only 3 shots at the end are confusing, of course... But in my opinion, for such a series, the death of the main characters is not a characteristically too tragic ending.
I hope they will take up season 2🥰

Why would you touch the cat? The whole series was uncomfortable with such rigidity

Well, the time spent is definitely not a pity. I liked the structure of the series, where each new episode is conditionally not the next day, but the characters after a few months / several missions / family evenings. In this regard, I liked the series in Italy where they so coolly scattered enemies on confident ones.
Glover said that he wanted to show a story more real than it was in the film, the story of not the perfect killer models, but those who are sick when they get rid of a corpse, who do not immediately jump into bed at the first meeting, but try to set boundaries, face ordinary, everyday problems, and from that with such close and understandable to the average viewer. So it was very exciting to follow the development of the characters and their relationships. Plus, directed by Hiro Murai, in the first two episodes there is a quiet, measured presentation, on dialogues with light intersperses of action - chef kiss.

Will stop at such a cliffhanger) but on the other hand, everything is clear. There will be season 2 - they survived. If the series is canceled, they are dead)

I liked it, the Glover-Erskine pair is super, the final episode only confirmed this, xs why do they write that there is no chemistry between them. In general, the finale reminded me of the last episode of Beef - there are many similar elements. I hope they survived and there will be another season, otherwise these 8 episodes flew by quickly. Jane had one cartridge, there were two shots first and then one, you can beat it in different ways, but I hope for a happy ending, so we will wait for news about the second season.

Overall, it's a great series and it's even good that the plot doesn't copy the movie. It was shot great, the cast is gorgeous, Paul is given in general from one of the best scenes in the finale, it would be interesting if he is related to HiHi, but the fact that he is a realtor from a real estate agency is even cooler, one of the funniest moments.

I really liked the dialogues and arguments of the characters about relationships and life. beautiful picture, music and style of Glover's character.
plus for the guest actors. I am also delighted with their house.
but Jane's chronic sinusitis infuriated the whole series, I'm sorry

The series is bland, just no..

As I thought, it turned out weakly. Although they tried, it was obvious. Some points are generally good, but overall very mediocre, for my taste.
I wouldn't be surprised if they close it

Everyone feels so sorry for the cat, and if, by a strange coincidence, Max was the "hello, hello" ...)))
Okay, I really feel sorry for the cat, but the series is very good, due to the sensible interweaving of the chemistry of relationships and the experiences of the characters and the action))
I would love to watch the second season, if there is one. And not an almanac, but a continuation))

After meeting the Smiths, I expected them to kill them. It turned out to be a pretty good series. The film of the same name reminded me very well
I watched the series in one breath and was glad of it

The TV series of the year is so far and one of the best modern TV series about family life.

A good series, killed by the title. Honestly, I don't understand why it was necessary to make this link to such a popular film, if the parallel can only be drawn with the final series and their work. Otherwise, these are completely different projects. And that's exactly what gave rise to a lot of haight, who never let many people watch it. He thought for a long time whether to start, only his love for Glover outweighed, if it weren't for him, he would hardly have started watching.

The first three episodes are just super, then there is a sagging, especially 5 and 6, it's just terrible, very stuffy. Then a good 7 and a perfectly completed 8.

P.S. Their house is really a work of art

As soon as I saw the cat on the table, I immediately realized that he would be shot (and that it would not be John, that they would be so set against each other.

Thank you, at least they didn't show the cat's corpse in large quantities. And that John's mom wasn't killed for the kit.

It 's a good series , we were surprised .

Killing a cat is cruel, why? if there had been a scene with Jane after that, how she realizes the loss of the most precious thing she had, in hysterics and tears, I would have understood and approved. and here they just killed a cat to kill.
I liked the musical accompaniment of the chase very much, and the fights were cheerful, approved.
After all, the other Smiths killed a couple in the first episode, thanks for the explanation. but that pair was really kind of useless.
The open ending didn't please me, I don't like them.

Sooooo good TV series about relationships that 3 \ 4 here write about killing a cat)) mediocre

Infuriates the end and Max жал sorry

In general, the series is not bad, in each episode there are just super surprises in the form of supporting actors, but unfortunately I did not see the connection between the main actors, and this is not a claim to acting out emotions, just sorry, but an Asian woman with the appearance of a tired housewife, not to mess with a spy thriller, although the series is more about relationships rather than shootouts, the fact remains that I think the choice of a couple should have been approached not with the aim of promoting racial diversity, but to look at the interaction in the frame.
It often happens that you watch and wish that the actors were together in reality, you get so into the relationship, but here I did not have this feeling at all

Fuck, was it really so necessary to kill kotka

Max, noooooo!

my thoughts on the final options:
1. The obvious one. at the end, we see three flashes in the window, two coming one after the other, and the third later. It can be assumed that Jane went out and shot at another Jane, the other responded with a shot, then went into the room and finished off John. at the same time, she could have been injured or near death - it doesn't matter. Our Smiths are dead
2. Scenario tricks. Jane could have exchanged shots that did not kill them instantly, then our Jane, during a quick hand-to-hand struggle, took the weapon from another and killed her. it turns out that our Smiths survived, and the blinded other John could hide and become Smith's nemesis in season 2.
3. any others, for example - the girls killed each other and all 4 Smiths are dead.

A terribly boring, tedious series that consists stupidly on the emotional swing of two immature people! I stupidly squandered the last episodes, because it was impossible to watch this drudgery. The bitch, like a cat by the tail, was also shot in the mirror, well, it was generally too much, although it didn't hurt at all emotionally, since the cat should have given more time than all this tedium, which was hidden by a funny driving trailer. So you still need to be able to deceive the viewer.
comparison with the film: the film was light, the essence and presentation was clear and concise, the connection and connection of the characters was as clear as possible and all this in a short time. In the series, they managed to delay it so much, there can be no connection, I want the characters to run away and not drip on the brain either to themselves or to the viewer, well, they do not fit each other in any way. in short, I recommend reviewing the film, and forget about the series as a terrible dream, because it is all saturated with toxicity and stupidity

Well, xs, the first half of the series was endearing, although not without joints. And it doesn't matter if the series is action or conversational, there was something in it and the chemistry between the actors worked. But in the second half it became somehow not pleasant and not interesting to watch and conversations lost their lightness and became more and more tedious. In the end, it didn't matter who or what happened to them. The final was saved only by Paul Dano, that's lucky for a guy with such a house, yes.

It would be better not to call it a remake. This attracted an audience that adores the movie with the perfect Pitt and Jolie, promised a spy thriller with passion and brutal reprisals, but in fact here is a completely different approach. It seems to me that they disappointed many fans and provided low ratings.

I liked the series a lot more than the movie. For me, this is more fresh and interesting than a typical action movie with cool and skillful agents who deal with tasks or each other once or twice. Everything is a little clumsy here, which adds realism, and is often more absurd. This project came out very much in the spirit of Donald: therapeutic and relaxed, but not without poignant and comical moments. As many have written, without reference to the film, it is quite a good series.

Amazon has renewed the series "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" for a second season.

According to Variety, the main cast members Donald Glover and Maya Erskine will not return in the sequel to the show.

It's a good series. There is chemistry between the characters, the screenwriters have written great episodes and the ending. Cool, very cool. I hope the second season will not disappoint - I will definitely wait for it.

Full of shit
The cat is gone, they are both dead
Throw stones at me, but I wanted to be happy.

"I like Jane. I like John"
девочки я плачу 😭

It was a good series, it was interesting to watch. We ended the season on such a note, eh!) It's a good idea to do each season with a different Smith, it would be interesting) What if our Jane and John kill them and they take their place?) Then at the end of the next season they will come to kill another couple 😄
And I feel sorry for the cat, it's still sad 😢

The moment with "Wait! Who am I?... That's you." terribly funny, I love petty characters

The second season of the Squabble was successful, imho

The series left an aftertaste for me. Such that I don't even want to write a review. They say season 2 will be released. I don't understand why. The Smiths are probably dead. Probably just to find out who "Hello" is. That's all. No, well, I've been shocked since the last episode and the finale, help me, as they say. But this is the logical end for them.
There is a clever thought that the series was filmed in order to show the essence of the connection between a man and a woman. You can see this by the series titles. They are called almost like some kind of relationship phases. With such series, you want to get married and have relationships less and less.
This couple reminded me of Joe Goldberg and Love Quinn (TV series "You"). Especially for the last episode.
I would give the series 4/5. Overall, I liked it, it was interesting to watch. I stared at it. It rarely happens to me.

And it went to me!!
An unusual style of action movie, with an emphasis on the development of relations between two people with their deviations and traumas in the psyche.
As for me, this is an improved version of the film's plot, because there is more time to show problems and dependencies.
I read in the comments that there will be a second season. I will 100% watch, but! I want a story about other Smiths already. And I got attached to these and it would be good to show them in season 2, in one of the episodes, in the mountains, happy. Briefly. To show that they survived (for example, earning the respect of a greeting by an equal fight with Smiths from a super difficult risk level).

The sparse first series were specially brought out in short order to leave at least some semblance of cheerfulness at the end. An uncomfortable feeling remains from the way the characters joked almost comically, almost exposed their feelings, and all this was almost inventively filmed, like Childish Gambina clips.
But in order to be sincere, they were not helped by mirror-frank conversations with their mother and the realtor, but only by the truth serum. It's funny, we all drink this serum after a big quarrel on the verge of divorce, when there's nothing to lose.
But it seems to me that Glover somehow didn't drink enough of it, because the only really good thing here is the soundtrack to the last episode, the rest is almost good.

It's a great series! I wish gg had survived. Maybe they will return in season 2, but not in the main roles 🥺 the chemistry between the actors, their game is on the level! It's been a long time since I've gotten such a buzz from the series. Advise something similar ^.^

I can't say that it went straight to me, but it was possible to look at the background.
Initially, I did not see the chemistry between the characters, and then their life with family problems began somehow quickly: John with a dream of a child, and Jane controlling everything.
The last episode is the most interesting - they finally start telling each other the truth. If they had started doing this earlier, then the situation would not have gone so far.
If there's a sequel, I'll probably watch it. But if not, I won't be too upset.

In the second season, Mark Edelstein is appointed the next John Smith. Maya and Donald will not return to their roles. But there remains a chance that their characters will be mentioned, perhaps even alive. I wouldn't be surprised at cameos either, studios often lie or change their minds.

Oh, what did the creators of the series mess up😁

Flashes of light as an image are a very beautiful technique. The bodies were not shown, so there is no death of the heroes. In other works, it works this way)
The cast of the second season is already known.

And I was worried the whole episode that his mom would come home and explode. :/

It's a wonderful series! It was only in this episode that I realized how many metaphors there are for the main characters' relationships.
They didn't work as a team because everyone was afraid to open up. They began to compare themselves with each other, and because of this, the relationship began to crack. Everyone wanted to protect themselves from the pain in the relationship, and therefore attacked the other. When Jane's punch didn't kill John, she ran away from him, because she didn't want him to hit her back. There are a lot of misunderstandings due to the fact that there is not enough communication and openness in the relationship, hence the interpretation of each other is incorrect. Instead of noticing that they needed to unite against a common enemy, because they were a team, they thought that the enemy was their partner. Although they wanted to hurt each other, they protected each other in situations where someone from the outside attacked their partner. John's mother hinted to Jane that they should have a heart-to-heart talk and get to know each other better before ending the relationship. John ran towards Jane, who was running away from the proximity, in order to catch her and still talk. It was only when both were disarmed and vulnerable to each other that they were able to get closer. Then they heard each other, were able to come to an agreement and did not want to part anymore. Immediately, they had long-term plans for a life together, including even each other's relatives. Interestingly, it wasn't until their relationship had a catharsis that they finally started talking about what was important to them and focused on their relationship. Before that, they opened up to each other until they started acting according to their usual scenarios again and reached an impasse. Sometimes such quarrels are necessary in order to understand that something is wrong in a relationship.

For Max, one (if it were possible to get less, I would put minus infinity), to hell with such series.

I liked the unusual series. I hope everything went well. I'm waiting for the second season. 🙏

Around the middle of the season, it really became interesting to watch. If there is a sequel, then great :)

Although the next season will feature new actors, I believe that these Smiths have survived. The first shot at evil Jane. Our Jane took the gun from her and shot evil Jane and evil John one by one.
