In professional mode: highly competent, carries out a mission with no backup, spontaneous genius in combat.
In day to day mode: complete ditz, subservient to anyone who talks to her, barely understands the world around her. No it’s not an act.
I mentally check-out in these instances. She never questions what her husband does? The Mr&Mrs Smith mind games you might expect from the show, just… aren’t there.
The message is literally just “hi we’re unconventional, but we’re a team, and also dad is the boss and mom is pretty – root for us for some reason. Oh and the west is objectively better in every way, we won’t even pretend to make a comparison”. It’s a pretty insulting show.

There’s plenty of real people who are highly competent at their job but very socially inept. We might call such people “nerds”, “a gifted child”, or even “autistic” depending on the specifics and severity.
Oh and the west is objectively better in every way
The show makes it clear both sides are propagandized to assume they are better than the other side regardless of how true that is, and it avoids making specific comparisons to keep that vague.

The point of the show is presenting 3 people (or 4 if you include the dog) that have some special talent but are socially awkward, and showing them work well together as a family despite frequent comedic mishaps. Honestly not even that out there for a show premise.
But hey, people have different tastes. If cute unconventional family comedy isn’t yours, just don’t watch it.
Yor is such a weird character.
