With the new year in full swing, it’s time to look ahead to what 2024 has to offer. January was a packed month of awesome TV as streaming platforms dropped a bevy of blockbuster shows to kick off the year with a bang.
January blessed TV fans with shows including Netflix’s Fool Me Once, Marvel’s Echo, Apple TV+’s Masters of the Air and Sky’s fourth season of True Detective. But following closely behind is Amazon’s hotly anticipated series, Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

It follows two lonely strangers who have given up their lives and identities to be thrown together as partners in espionage and marriage.
