  I thought this might be more along the lines of the movie, with both main characters working for competing agencies that sometimes put their objectives at odds with each other.
  
  Instead, the deeper we go, this seems more like Atlanta except with spy stuff as Glover and company take us on surreal/bizarre Twilight Zone-ish journeys.
  
  That's fine with me, since I loved Atlanta.
  
  Anyone else watching?

  Where are you watching this series?
  
  I guess it's on Amazon Prime. I haven't heard of it before. I'll try to check it out in the next week or two. I enjoyed the movie.

  Okay, so I've watched the first 2 episodes (of 8). It's an interesting show but starts out a little slow. And, frankly, the 2nd episode gets a little weird in some places. It's got some pretty funny moments that make me laugh.
  
  I'll probably finish watching the series.
  
  It doesn't really remind me of the movie, but that's because they're taking their time and developing the characters. We get to see the relationship between the Smiths start from the beginning. Also, they both work for the same agency and know each other is an agent (unlike in the movie where they work for rival agencies and don't know they are both in the same business).

  DO NOT look for a narrative thread in this series.  That's not how Glover and his writers operate.  The "spy" storyline is only a springboard for the weird storylines and the explorations of how relationships work.

  LOL!
  
  I'm glad you told me that. I put off watching the rest of the episodes because I've got so much else going on. So I won't expect a "spy" storyline when I resume watching.

  Looking forward to your thoughts!
