Ill just say this because a lot of negative reviews are focused on comparing this to the film: this is NOT the movie. It is NOT a fun quick spy action thriller (although it has its moments) that repeats and makes fun of those tropes. It is a smart interesting realistic take on the original movies premise. It is a high concept relationship drama set in that world. The show focuses on their dynamic. Donald and Maya do an excellent job of portraying 2 incompatible people pretending to be married and work together. They are not beautiful charismatic super spies like Brad and Angelina were. They are 2 normal people with spy skills doing a weird job. The humor and fun comes from watching all the normal couple quirks/fights that we all have experienced run into all of crazy spy stuff they have to do as well. The cinematography is beautiful and the writing feels grounded and realistic. If that sounds interesting to you, you will love this show. If it doesn't, you should probably skip this. I liked the movie and I had a great time binging this too. They are both excellent in different ways and that is ok.
