If Central Intelligence hit the spot, these will too

Kinetic where it counts, witty underneath

Playful action, and it commits to that


Witty action in both cases
The difference: Sits closer to drama than Central Intelligence does

Both keep coming back to the same thing: spy
The difference: Leans harder into crime than Central Intelligence does

Both lean on play more than on comedy
The difference: 29 years apart, and the 1980s show

Rawson Marshall Thurber working the same nerve twice
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Both are built on the same subject: spy

Action with a pulse of momentum, in both cases

Comedy with a pulse of wit, in both cases
