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.
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
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.
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)?
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🥰
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.
@kobiii: for some reason it seems that he is not a realtor at all, perhaps he killed the cat to provoke the main characters. I also caught a resemblance to Beef in the finale
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
@Mcmaffic: @Mcmaffic: Personally, it seems to me.. it's specially designed that way. We've seen three Smith families throughout the series. Two of them are insanely cliched. They are sexy, dangerous, and there is 100% chemistry between them, and at least one family definitely does not allow even the concept of failure, which do not allow mistakes, let's just say the perfect Smiths. And then the agency hires atypical Smiths. Personally, I think it's a great screenwriting move. Personally, I'm tired of typical action movies, where the main characters are absolutely perfect, which I really want to fuck with. It's good that you showed the way first. Becoming from a random couple, developing them to the point where the spouses literally want to kill each other. And show the final chemistry almost at the end. I really hope that there will be a continuation of the series and it will not be closed. The series is healthy, really.
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.
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.
