00:06 People have no clue what this show's gonna be, really.
00:08 They have an idea because "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" was a film.
00:12 But this tone is a lot different.
00:15 I'm Jane.
00:16 I'm John.
00:17 Well, I think this is exactly like
00:19 the "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" movie,
00:20 and we are exactly like Angelina and Brad,
00:23 but if we were to talk about the differences in this,
00:26 we are carrying out missions together
00:28 but having to pose as a married couple.
00:30 So it becomes a real relationship
00:33 set against the backdrop of the spy genre.
00:36 You break the legs, and I'll break the arms.
00:38 Oh!
00:39 We're gonna have our gunfights
00:41 and shoot 'em ups and explosions.
00:43 Of course that's gonna happen.
00:44 But we really wanted to tone it down to, like, a 2,
00:47 so when you did something that was a 10, it felt like 100.

00:52 Hero said there's C students in an AP class.
00:55 They're really not supposed to be here.
00:57 -You don't know how to ski? -[Grunts]
00:59 It was really important to us that the show felt global
01:02 and grounded but very bizarre, surreal comedy.
01:05 One of our directors made this joke
01:07 that we've collected the character-actor version
01:10 of "The Avengers."
01:12 They just bring something raw and real to the show.
01:15 It's just a job, not life and death.
