Series is based on two spy's being recruited by a intelligence agency to work together and pose as man and wife. What made the show exceptional was this: They were career spies, who had worked for various unnamed agencies in the past, possibly at cross purposes.While they are eager to get the job done and learn to work together and trust each other, they are careful to avoid exposing their true identities, past accomplishments or special skills - because these are the secrets a spy lives by and the last person you want to give that information to is another spy you may be working against the next time around.So you end up with a show full of undercurrents as they get to know each other and respect each other as equals. Who is this person? Did I ever run into them in the past without knowing it? Did I ever get in their way? Did they ever get in mine? Where have I seen that technique before? Was he/she there? Does he/she have info about something that happened that I never resolved to my satisfaction? It's been so long I don't remember specific episode plots or details about their pasts, but the undercurrent of curiosity about the other person battling each characters need for secrecy was what I remember most.

Mr. and Mrs Smith was a great comedy/drama with a sense of sheik style. Scott Bakula, sexy as ever, was smooth as Mr. Smith, a spy playing it cool and yet curious to know about his partners. Maria Bello was a calm and and entertaining as Mrs. Smith, and equaling as "secretive" in the games of following the rules and breaking them at the same time. The series reminded me of 007 movies and Moonlighting. This series was ahead if its time, used to be on CBS which did not even air the last two episodes of first-run shows. I would love to see the series again, especially because I recognize much of the scenes for the upcoming movie ironically called Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

i loved this show and felt that it shouldn't have been cancelled. it had the suspense, the mystery, the excitement and as in all shows, the sexual tension between the 2 lead characters. i was utterly disappointed that they had to cancel the series in its beginning stages. Maria Bello was fantastic in the show and so was Scott Bakula. It was one of the better tv shows around.

First Johnny Bago..now this. CBS needs a kick in the ass for cancelling a great show like this. I loved this series...The cast was great the premise was great and they screwed up--Oh well maybe it was for the better-not.
