Mr. & Mrs. Smith
On this episode of Good Pop, we check out Amazon Prime's new series Mr. & Mrs. Smith, a re-imagining of the 2005 film and the 1996 series, starring Maya Erskine and Donald Glover as two secret agents for hire who are paired up by an agency that matches up couples for special ops assignments. The show is part spy procedural, and part millennial romantic drama, and definitely not what we expected, but does it make the grade as good pop?

Chinese Republicans, a new play from Alex Lin
Coming to the Roundabout Theatre Company this winter, Chinese Republicans is a biting new satirical drama from Alex Lin, directed by Chay Yew, following three high-powered businesswomen who meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs, as they’ve done for decades. But the group is jolted when Katie, a bright-eyed 24-year-old new to the workforce, joins to navigate the world of corporate finance. As each of the women attempts to steer Katie towards what they’re certain is best, they’re forced to grapple with how much they already have and are willing to sacrifice to climb the corporate ladder.
