What is My Spy Family About?

The show tells the story of the Bannon family. They are not your average family! The parents, Dirk and Talia, used to be rival spies. Dirk was a British spy, and Talia was a Russian spy. But they fell in love and got married.

Now, they are supposed to live a normal life. They have three children: Spike, Elle, and Boris. Even though they are retired, spy skills are part of their everyday life. The show is mostly set in their home, the kids' school, and a local cafe. This cafe is run by Des, who used to be Dirk's gadget expert.
