So I thought I'd dive into Mr and Mrs Smith on Amazon. I think I'm the only one, but I really liked the movie. Sure it was ****tarded in a lot of ways, but I really liked it. And I'm not a big Angelina homer. She's hot, sure, but I'm not a blind homer.

After 2.5 episodes, I'm having trouble with this. I am a bit of Donald Glover homer, and he's the best part of this. The Asian gal is pretty boring, and there is no chance she can fight. Angelina for what she is, sells the idea that she could fight and win pretty well. Plus the storytelling isn't as clever as they think it is.

Spoiler!

The couple getting dusted in the beginning I guess add stakes.
But whatever. It didn't do much for me. Is that supposed to be Brad and Angelina? Fell kind of flat for me.

The interview process/communication stuff is just over the top bad. No way anybody would ever sign onto that with that little information. Especially anybody with skills. Ever. There just isn't any information. Either direction. There is no way any entity would ever send a n00b with a bomb absolutely no control structure in place. It works far better in the movie because they're both experienced operators. It doesn't work with a n00b. Especially if the only interview was a 10 question quiz.

I also have trouble with Glover "falling for" the Asian lead. Glover looks amazing and is really charismatic, and does the romantic lead really well. She is pretty flat, not very attractive (even when they tried), and not charasmatic at all and is kind of a ****. Other than the script said so, I can't see a single reason for him to be attracted to her.

There are some good components. The New York stuff is pretty good. Pretty visceral, pretty grounded, and some of the house stuff is really beautiful. The world really has some feel. As a midwesterner, who's never been to New York, it isn't enough to keep me in the show.

Maybe it comes around, I'm trying to figure out if I should finish it.
