Donald Glover creating and starring in a ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ TV series

[jwinfield]

First episode was solid.

Spoiler: First episode

Is the first scene the death of the Brad/Angelina couple?

 

[Ziggiy]

First episode is fukking F I R E

Donald Glover is a mad genius. This nikka’s level of talent is infuriating

You can tell Donald put a lot of artistry into this I bet its going to be fire


But that chick is ugly as SIN. I maintain this could have been a black actress and it would have been a classic. Teyonah Parris or hell even Zoe Kravitz would have been great.

I don't think either one is capable of pulling off that subtle comedy Glover wants.

Just finished the 1st episode . Already liking the interplay between the 2 leads, and thought it was filmed really well. Saw Hiro Murai's name in the credits .

If you had any doubts about this show cuz of the PAAWG, who @Ziggiy, one might say, appropriately labeled as "ugly as sin," allow me to assuage your fears. Assuage?

Is Maya as ugly as sin?
Who can say?

Is she a good actor? Yes. Is she funny? Yes. Does she have good chemistry with Donald? Yes. And that counts for a lot and is frankly all I need.

I want to shout out a well crafted scene from episode 1. Jane is in a dark theater, tracking the old lady with the package. She needs to stay in communication with John but can't speak because there's a play being performed. So she uses her phone to text John, whose voice we always hear because of the Avengers' earpiece he gave her.

What makes this scene great is the situational irony. We've all been in a movie theater and know the rules: stay off your phone. It's rude. You're there to watch the movie, not talk / text / scroll Instagram / Snapchat. But here it's just the opposite. The audience, that is us, not the diagetic one, We want to see Jane communicating with John. We want to see how that "conversation" unfolds because we want to see how they get to know each other. For us, that's the performance. So when she laughs out loud cuz of what John says, it's funny, but to the audience member sitting next to her, it's not. Perfect.

The phone also plays of a role in terms of the lighting. That might actually be the most annoying thing in the movie theater, when you look down and some a****** has their phone screen on max brightness. But we, the audience, care about Jane in this scene. We need to see her but she's in a dark theater. How do we do that? Oh we use the bright ass light from her phone screen that she couldn't bother to dim to illuminate her so she stands out in the audience. Tremendous.

And I can't ignore this shot from episode 3

ya'll are bytching about black women when the real travesty is eiza gonzalez lasting one scene

no black women where asking were are the black men at when when the little mermaid remake came out which makes the militant try hard clown's even more laughable and sad at the same time

Watching this now. Done with first episode and I’m digging it. I like the natural feeling awkwardness to it.
