“Mr. & Mrs. Smith” — which stars Donald Glover and Maya Erskine as spy married couple Jane and John Smith — hits Amazon’s Prime Video on Friday, Feb. 2. Taking narrative notes from the 2005 action flick starring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt (the project that famously led to their real-life marriage), Glover’s TV reboot from showrunner Francesca Sloane gives the spy genre a necessary kick in the pants. The result is a program that’s delightfully superior to the sleek and sexy movie that inspired it.
Jolie and Pitt teaming up as super spies in an explosive shoot-em-up blockbuster was a profitable no-brainer that drew nearly $500-million at the box office.
