I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

After E1: this is entertaining but it's not good, the pilot is far too structured around withholding and the male lead's psychology doesn't make a lot of sense.

Re: Mr. & Mrs. Smith (Bezos Prime)
Anyway the thing I really didn't like about the pilot, beyond all the unnecessary withholding, was how male Smith, after unknowingly delivering a bomb to a residential home that killed nine people (presumably some of whom were the caterers being yelled at when they walked in), with no idea for whom or for what reason he carried out this assassination, lies down on female Smith's bed and is like, "I kinda feel bad for being a drone pilot."

That's neat. It was a poorly written scene.

Okay now I feel like this thread is an elaborate troll, the second episode was atrocious.

Seems Trag was right and this will go the anthology route.

Re: Mr. & Mrs. Smith (Bezos Prime)
Is the question why is the NYC geography so unbearably terrible and nonsensical in the pilot?
