The spy who married me

DONALD GLOVER IS KNOWN AS a provocateur, taking aim at pieties around race, celebrity, and pop culture in dark comedies like Atlanta and Swarm. But he also has a romantic side-one that has fueled Atlanta storylines about his character's bond with his daughter's mom and music he's released as Childish Gambino.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Glover and co-creator Francesca Sloane's reimagining of the 2005 action romp that birthed Brangelina, is his first series to foreground that sweeter sensibility. In fact, in tone it resembles Natasha Lyonne's lighthearted detective dramedy Poker Face more than its high-octane inspiration.
