Amazon Prime is going to make a new Mr. & Mrs. Smith TV show, possibly just for the heck of it? I just did a Wikipedia search and apparently the original movie, an Alfred Hitchcock comedy from 1941, had nothing to do with spies? And then there was a TV series that was about spies in 1996, and then I don’t think either had anything to do with the more well known Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie movie in 2005.

I have no idea what this “franchise” is about…but I do know that Donald Glover and Maya Erskine sounds like a great casting!

Honestly, I’m really only interested in watching this show because of those two. Donald Glover needs no introduction, so he should be great. And then Maya Erskine has been kicking all sorts of ass. She burst onto the scene with Pen15, which is great. And she keeps showing up in stuff I enjoy, like the 2019 movie Plus One, which is a super fun romcom. Then she had a small role in the Obi-Wan Kenobi TV show. And just last night I discovered that she plays the main character in the new Netflix anime Blue Eye Samurai, which I’m loving so far!

So yeah, I’m kinda into this show to see Maya Erskine kicking more ass. Mr. & Mrs. Smith is going to kick off on Amazon Prime on Feb. 2.
